1. Meals and drinking in Trek

The meals are included in our package which is taken in lodges. We will get breakfast and dinner at the lodge where we stay overnights. Our guide will choose and stop for lunch on the available place for every day on a trek. We will request you to bring water and use medicine and drink freely, or therefore you can also have options of buying purification water bottled or boiled water in every place as well.

2. Medicines and first kits

Proper medicines and first aid kits are very essential for trekking. You might get physically hurt at high altitudes, which is easy due to the terrain and change in atmosphere. Unsuspecting trekkers must always be prepared for any adversities that they could face even while walking through the easiest trek. Some of the most essential items anyone must have in their first aid kit are below:

• Antiseptic
• Pain relief spray, ointment
• Safety pins
• Crepe bandage for sprain
• And others that are necessary which are hard to find in rural areas

3. Trekking Seasons in Nepal

The trekking season in Nepal is generally known best as two seasons: after fall and after winter. The best season for trekking in the Himalayas is from mid-September to mid-December. Each season has its distinct attraction to offer in Nepal. Trekking seasons are classified as below:

• Autumn (Sept-Nov): This season is considered the best trekking season in Nepal, offering excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views.
• Winter (Dec-Feb): Clear season in Nepal, but cold, especially in the mountains. Snowfall occurs in higher elevations, making lower elevation treks more ideal.
• Spring (March-May): Varieties of wildflowers like rhododendrons bloom, making higher altitude trekking more enjoyable. April and May are peak months.
• Summer (June-Aug): Main rainy season, not ideal for trekking. However, the desert areas of Nepal like Mustang, Nar-Phu valley, and Dolpo region offer great summer trekking opportunities behind the Himalayan rain shadow area.

4. Travel insurances

Nepal is a popular destination for adventure trekking, climbing, and expeditions, much of which is located in remote parts of the Himalayas. Travel insurance is essential in Nepal, covering areas like trekking, climbing, and other adventures. You need to ensure that your travel insurance policy clearly outlines what is and isn’t covered. Please contact us for more information about travel insurance.

Physical fitness is a crucial part of any outdoor activity, particularly trekking in Nepal. It is essential to establish a routine involving aerobic conditioning, strength, and mental preparation at least one month before your arrival. Activities like jogging, hiking, and cycling are excellent for building stamina. It’s not about speed but confidence and endurance.
