It is also highly recommended that all member have cancellation insurance in case of an accident prior to departure, or if the trip is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
This trekking is an average of 5 to 7 hours of walk a day. For personal safety, some physical conditions are required. Prior to the trek we suggest physical activities such as running, swimming and cycling etc to make sure your body adjusts to 5/7 hrs of walk each day.
Meals during your stay in the urban areas or cities will be at the hotel. All tourist class hotels provide good variety of meals for breakfast and dinner. Most of the hotels in Kathmandu provides buffet breakfast and meals included various dishes such as continental, Nepali, Tibetan, Thai and Chinese cuisines. However meals during the trekking will be served in the local restaurants/lodges available there. Local restaurants during the trek do have menu for the meals, but they don’t have much varieties as hotels in the cities. So you’ll be able to choose meals from menu available there. Breakfasts during the trek will be comparatively basic than cities, you can order the item you would like to have for breakfast. Breakfast includes one or two cup of tea or coffee and any two items for breakfast (for example Omelet and Tibetan Bread). Lunches during the trek will be at local restaurant you’ll find on the way and lunch includes one or two cup of tea or coffee and any two item meals (for example friend rice and salad). Dinner will be served at the same lodge where you’ll stay overnight there. Dinner includes one or two cup of tea or coffee and any two item meals. If your group size is bigger, it is better to order same or less varieties of food in order to save time. Any drinks like water, soft drink or alcoholic beverages are not included, you may pay on the spot.
It would be better if you bring some quick energy bars such as chocolate bars, dry foods etc which will be useful if you hungry before arriving lunch/dinner spot. Also if you have any special food that you would like to bring for trekking, you can do so. Our trekking guide will help you out to choose meals during the trekking.
In urban areas, cities you’ll be staying at tourist class hotels. You’ll have wide ranges of options to choose from tourist class hotel to star hotels. In this particular trip, you’ll stay at hotel mentioned above in the What’s Included section. Hotels in the cities will be single bed and twin-bed rooms with attached bathroom and air-conditioned.
However accommodation during the trekking will be at the local lodges/tea houses. These tea houses/lodges will have basic facilities only, please don’t expect lodges will be same as hotels you’ve in the cities. You’ll still twin-bed room for accommodation with bed, blanket and pillows. Except few lodges, rooms during the trekking will be common (sharing toilet or toilet outside). There won’t be air-conditioned/heated rooms during the trekking. You can pay for attached toilet if you found some on the way. That’s why we suggest you to bring own sleeping bag to be safe side in case of bad weather.

Travelling in the mountain involves risk of high altitude sickness, unforeseen injury or accident. So it isn’t a successful bid until you return to home. Reaching to the final destination one thing, but returning safely is much more important. The mountains are always unpredictable and accidents can happen. Trekking Experts believes that “the main key of safety is health and proper planning and preparation, highest comfort level during whole trip and best quality food, high sanitation standards, reliable communications, up to date equipments and proper coordination are all relevant to safety.” Although we cover every aspect of safety measures, the possibilities of disappointment and fatalities due to unpredictable circumstances cannot be ignored. All members should be aware of the fact. Trekking Experts urge all the members to consult, take advice and follow the guidance provided by the professional trekking guides during the course of trekking.
By chance, if you have got high altitude sick or any injury or accident, our trekking guides will be trained to help you out in the mountains. But hospitals won’t be available all the time; in this case, our guide will help you as he can. Also Trekking Experts office team will be standby for your support.
Nepal is best for all seasons. There are various season for different regions to travel. But in overall, spring season (March-May) and autumn season (September-December) is always best time to travel in Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. During these seasons weather will be relatively warmer with bright and clear sky in the morning which slowly becomes hazier as the day progresses. During spring season lots of flowers will be bloomed.
October to November, the start of the dry season, is in many ways the absolute best time. With the monsoon only recently finished, the countryside is green and lush, the air is sparkling clean and the Himalayan views are near perfect. Furthermore, the weather is still balmy. There are some important and colorful festivals to enjoy, though the Dasain festival in October can be disruptive if you are on a tight schedule. For obvious reasons this is also the high tourist season but in recent years, due to the political problems, even Nepal’s ‘high season’ has been pretty quiet. The majority of visitors, prioritizing mountain visibility, come in the autumn peak season (late Sept to late Nov), when the weather is clear and dry, and neither too cold in the high country nor too hot in the Terai.
Trekking Experts uses standard, clean and well-maintained vehicles for ground transfers in the most areas of Nepal. Our vehicle will be handled by experienced drivers and most of them are air-conditioned too. We shall use all transportation privately for you, won’t share rides with anyone unless if they are crew for trekking. However in off-road or remote areas, we shall use local vehicles too which might not be air-conditioned, for safe for sure.
For air transportation, we shall use domestic airlines companies for all internal flights within Nepal. There will be aircraft which can carry maximum 72 people in urban areas and maximum 17 people in flights in remote areas (STOL). Flights in STOL airports in the remote areas have weight constraint in the flight. We maximum weight you’ll get at free of cost will be 15 kg per person only. In STOL airports, all flights are flown manually and it entire schedule depends on the weather. During bad weather, flights do get cancelled. If alterations are necessary, our professional trekking guide will decide what is the best alternative taking into consideration the best interests of the whole group. Where a change does occur, we do everything we can to minimize its effect, but we cannot be responsible for the results of changes or delays.

To show appreciation and respect, use two hands rather than one when giving or receiving something, even money. Hindus, avoid touching women and holy men the traditional palms-together “Namaste” greeting is preferable. Don’t eat with your left hand and nor eat beef among Hindus Try not to step over or point your feet at another person, a sacred place or a hearth. Remove your shoes when entering a home, temple or monastery (and leather items in Hindu temples) and avoid smoking and wearing scant dress in religious settings. Do not offer food from your plate, nor eat from a common pot, and avoid touching your lips to a shared drinking vessel. Please do not kiss or anything related to sexual activities in front of people .Please wear cloths with covering the legs especially for women.
Tipping is not obligatory just like anywhere in the world. However if you like the service and want to thank them this is another good way to do so. The following is recommended as a guideline:
In Kathmandu 20-50 Rs for bellboys, waiters and porters is appropriate. At the end of a trek, if your group thinks that the staff has done an outstanding job, a group tip would be greatly appreciated. Normally tip is given at the end of the trek and this is best done as group rather than individual. Most groups will give the tips with a bit of ceremony on the last evening to mark the end of the trip. Your Group Leader or guide will advise you in more detail regarding this matter. As a guideline, we recommend that each group member contributes around $ 75 (rupee equivalent) and then it is shared amongst the team.
