How will I get rescued if I am critically ill during the trek?

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a trek where the elevation starts from 1350m to 4416m. Altitude sickness mainly occurs after you head above 2500m. You will not get altitude sickness symptoms below 2500m. Some of the altitude sickness symptoms are Nausea, Headache, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, and dizziness. Acclimatization is the main thing that helps to prevent altitude sickness. But you can still prevent altitude sickness by drinking more water, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and having a rest day every 600m-900m you go up.

However, one out of 10 people may catch altitude sickness even with all the preventions. We can take DIAMOX if we suffer from altitude sickness. But if the condition does not get well even after taking the Diamox, the guide will immediately inform the travel company. If you will be ill at any point of the trek you will be slowly taken to the lower elevation. If you are ill in the base camp then, You will first be treated at the base camp, then you will be taken to the lower altitude and seek basic medical where our guide will help you, and then if it’s necessary or emergency you will be immediately sent to Kathmandu by emergency helicopter service. This is how you will get rescued if you will be critically ill during the trek.

 

The importance of insurance in Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Travel insurance plays an essential role. The right travel insurance will protect you from the unique risks while traveling to Nepal or Climbing to Annapurna Base Camp. Find the best policies that cover all the necessary events associated with Annapurna Base Camp or other trekking areas. There will not be a relaxed trip without travel insurance. It is very necessary to be careful while choosing policies because some insurance companies do not include adventure trekking. Mostly many of travel insurance covers only up to the elevation of 3000m but the Annapurna Base Camp trek will go beyond 3000m standing at the highest point which will be above 4100m.

We suggest you choose Your travel insurance that covers up to 6000m which you will be covered for the entire trek and shouldn't be worried about evacuations or medical assistance costs. Before buying your insurance, your insurer should be aware of the Itinerary of Magic Expedition and Tours. If you are planning to trek in the Himalayas, Your insurance should cover emergency air service Helicopters and should include all the medical expenses. The emergency helicopter service would be very costly so If you have your insurance done you wouldn’t be worried. Your travel insurance should cover the cancelation policy because if you have to cancel a paid trek due to weather conditions, They can cover this expense. You should double-check that it is included on the top of the standard hospitalization cover. Some of the Travel insurances that are recommended are:-

 

 

FAQs

What is Trekking and how it is different from climbing and hiking?

Trekking lies between hiking and climbing. Climbing is strenuous hiking is easier and trekking is neither tough nor easy. However, trekking also can be categorized into three different types: easy, moderate, and strenuous. It is meant to say dat trekking also can be strenuous according to the level of difficulty.

Trekking is a walk in the mountain. Trekking is for witnessing mountain views, going through the various settlements and flora and fauna, and being an integral part of nature in the wild.  Various species of floras and faunas, breathtaking mountain views, walking into the wild, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and experiencing local culture are the primary highlights of trekking.

Trekking, fundamentally, can be of two types. They are camping trekking and tea house trekking. A few decades ago, camping trekking would be very popular among trekkers but now tea house trekking is considerably preferred by the people. However, the most natural form of trekking is camping.

Certain procedures are to be completed to do trekking. Trekkers must join a valid travel company and have attained the required permits for a particular trekking trip.

 

How difficult is trekking in Nepal?

Nepal offers all three categories of trekking but the difficulty level depends on what category of trekking trip you choose. However, you will encounter a wide range of ups and downs during a trekking trip. Normally, a trekker has to walk in the mountain at least for 6-7 hours. Relatively, as the ascent rises, the more difficult the trekking will be. You will, normally, begin your trek in the morning at around 8 am after breakfast, tan, take a lunch break in the afternoon for an hour, and continue walking till 4-5 or sometimes, till 6 pm. However, some trekking trips are really easy you only have to work for 3-4 hours a day not getting much elevation. Therefore, choose a trekking trip to suit you're interest and stamina.

Is it safe to travel to Nepal?

Travelers have always found Nepal as a safe destination for various types of holidays. Previously, there was a war between the Nepal Government and Maoists for more than a decade but right now, everything is settled peacefully and a new constitution has been promulgated.  There is no domestic violence in Nepal at the moment.

Similarly, there is no threat for solo and female travelers traveling in Nepal. Security forces have been installed in every trekking and tour route. Moreover, there is internet and phone call access in every corner of the mountain region of Nepal. You can make an instant call to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Also, an instant rescue is carried out as soon as you report to the concerned officials in case of danger. Therefore, Nepal is safe for traveling.

The easier and shorter treks will be near the cities and the longer ones will take you to some of the most remote areas of Nepal crossing the adventurous high passes. So, you can plan a trekking trip according to the length of you're holiday. Also, you ask your travel partner to set the duration of trekking letting them know how many days you have.

Food and accommodation are provided in teh teahouse/guesthouse/hotel during teh trek. But, unlike that, for a camping trek, one is required to hire porters, cooks, Sherpas, and guides which are considered to be more strenuous.
