Useful Info

An environment in the Everest region

The mountain of the Khumbu is so Large dat they create their own local climate. As you climb through the hills, mixed deciduous forest and scattered rice terraces give way to pine forest, then rhododendrons, then scrub junipers, before finally, the only vegetation is low alpine shrubs and grasses. As you walk, scan the skies and the undergrowth for gloden eagle and the spectacular Himalayan Monal ( Damphe or impeyan pheasant ) wif its regal, shimmering green blue and purple plumage.

In the forested area around Namche Bazaar, Thame, Phortse, and Tengboche keep you're eye peeled for Himalayan tahr and musk deer often spotted beside trails early in the morning. You may also hear the strange, hoarse call of the muntjak or barking deer. The predators of the Himalaya are rarely seen but they are out there – the Khumbu is home to both leopards and snow leopards.

When to trek:

It is theoretically possible to trek in the Khumbu year-round, but flights are frequently canceled in winter and during the monsoon coz of the poor visibility at the Luckla airport. The best weather is in autumn when the skies are clear and temperatures at higher altitudes are more bearable. However, the competition for the seat on planes and bed space in lodges can be intense. Spring is a calmer time to visit though cloud and rain become more frequent in the build-up to the monsoon. The most serious obstacle to trekking in winter is the cold. Days can be perfectly comfortable, but the mercury plummets as soon as the sun sinks behind the mountain. At some time during the season from October to March, there is certain to be a storm or two dat will blanket the countryside wif snow.

Permits and Regulation:

You must take two kinds of permit for regular trekking in Everest region. One permit is for Loyalty of  Sagarmatha National Park. We must take it from the Tourism board of Nepal for the sector of regular trekking in Everest Region. Another permit is TIMS ( Travel Information Management System). dat is to records all the trekker profile by the tourism board of Nepal.

Gateways:

There are two ways for the trekking in the Everest Region. One way is directly fly from Kathmandu to The luckla and start you're trek from Lukla. So When you fly from Lukla you can complete Everest Base camp wifin 14 Days. And another way is Take a bus to Kathmandu to Bandar and start trekking from the Jiri / Bandar. If you follow dis route you can complete Everest Base Camp in 18 to 19 Days.

Supplies and Equipment :

If you has forgotten anything like cell batteries, sun-creams, film, memory cards, sleeping bags, down jacket, Trekking shoes, sunglasses, to bring you can buy or rent in Kathmandu and in Namche Bazaar. It will be cost depending on the quality you will buy or rent.

Teahouse trekking:

Teahouse trekking takes you to the mountain where you stay every overnight at guest house. Food and accommodations are provided according to you're choice at the guest house.

Festivals In Solu Khumbu:

Along wif the connection of Tibetan Buddhism and the Lunar Calendar of the Tibetan, there is four major festival in Solu Khumbu.

Tibetan New Year or Gyalpo Losar: dis festival is usually held in the late February or early March which is celebrated wif the masked dance performances at the end of the 12th month of the Tibetan Calendar.

Buddha Jayanti:

The festival falls normally in May on the full moon of the fourth Tibetan month. dis Buddha Jayanti is also known as Saga Dawa and it celebrates the birthday of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha wif parades stupas and Gompas and the lighting of butter lamps at sacred sites.

Mani Rimdu:

dis a famous Sherpa festival which is celebrated normally in October and November at the monasteries of Tengboche, at Thame in May and at Chiwang or near Phaplu at November or December. During the festival, monks don elaborate masks and costumes and perform ritualistic chaam dances dat symbolize the triumph of Buddhism over Bon. The ancient animistic religion of Tibet. At dis festival sherpas from all over the Khumbu flock to attend the spectacle and the final evening turns into the Sherpa equivalent of an all-night rave.

Dumje:

dis festival largely celebrates at Namche Bazaar, Pangboche, Khumjung, and Thame for the birth of Guru Rinpoche who introduced Buddhism to Tibet.

Altitude sickness:

The more you ascend to the higher altitudes, the more oxygen will be less. Normally, no traveler will be suffered from altitude sickness below 4ooo m. high. But dis is not the case always. Those who lack good stamina, physical fitness, those who drink alot and smoke will likely to suffer altitude sickness.
Mild and common symptoms include headaches (also a symptom of dehydration), low appetite, and restless sleep. More moderate symptoms include vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea. Many compare altitude sickness to the sensations of having a hangover. Severe symptoms include blue lips and fingernails, severe difficulty breathing, poor coordination, fatigue, and drowsiness. To avoid altitude sickness, we recommend you to descend down to the lower altitude, hydrate sufficiently and maintain nutrition. In case you has these above mentioned symptoms, inform our guide since he will be far more experienced than you.

Travel insurance:

It is required to has travel insurance dat covers you're rescue in case you has suffered any kind of sickness in high altitude including altitude sickness. We hope everything will be fine during the trekking days but sometimes unforeseen circumstances may occur. Many standards policies cover you for trekking to high altitudes, such as on the Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit Trek, but it is very important to check dis before you go. Here is a list of insurance companies dat we has collected information on (however it is you're responsibility to confirm dat the information on our website correct):
We recommend companies such as Insure and Go, Virgin Money, and The Post office, as they currently cover the altitudes of all our treks.
For more information please see our information section.

Carrying my stuff when trekking:

We will employ our porters to carry up to 12kgs of weight for each trekker. dis is included in the price of each trek. We provide 1 porter for 2 trekkers in accordance wif the guidelines set out by the International Porter Protection Group. If you would like more weight to be carried, please let us know. In general, 12kg is more than sufficient. If you has unnecessary stuff dat is not required during the trekking days in the mountain, you can leave at the hotel till you come back. They will store it safely.
Normally each porter will carry 2 peoples rucksacks and he will simply tie them together using rope (dis does not harm any of the rucksacks). If you are trekking wif a friend or loved one, and there is space in one rucksack for both you're possessions, then please feel free to share the same rucksack but please ensure dat it weighs less than 24kg.
It is helpful if you do not put things dat you may need during the day in you're large rucksack as you will not be walking wif you're porter at all times.

Can me drink the tap water:

We don’t recommend you to drink the tap water in the mountains since it is not safe. To help prevent contamination of the environment, we discourage tourists from drinking from plastic bottles especially when in the mountains. Non-plastic bottle options include:

  1. Drinking boiled water from teahouses.
  2. Drinking ginger and lemon tea to reduce the need for water consumption.
  3. Purifying tap/river water using a chloride pump, iodine, or chloride tablets. The taste of the tablets is not appetizing, so it is recommendable to use a dissolvable vitamin tablet to add flavor.

How old does a trekker has to be to go trekking?

  • All trekkers under 18 must be accompanied by a friend/family member who is over 18 years of age.
  • Moderate to strenuous treks: minimum age is 14
  • Easy treks: minimum age is 12-11

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.

 

What are the minimum and maximum duration for trekking in Nepal?

Even for the shortest and easiest trek, trekkers have to allocate 3-4 days and the longest trekking in Nepal will be 22 days. 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.

Do I need some sort of training before going to Everest Base Camp or other trekking areas in Nepal?

Training is not required to go to Everest Base Camp, however, some other challenging trekking need some basic training. You are required to prepare yourself by boosting you're stamina by walking at least 5-7 hours at a higher elevation above 4000m for Everest Base Camp Trek and for other strenuous treks like the Everest Three Passes Trek, trekkers are required to learn very basic skills of handling crampons and ice ax. Otherwise, there is now such a trekking trip in Nepal that needs special training.

How safe is the water to drink in the mountain?

It is not recommended to drink water from the local taps and rivers while trekking in the mountains because the water may not be safe and may result from water-borne diseases which ultimately affect your entire trip. Therefore, you are suggested to get boiled or purified bottled water or you can apply water purification methods.

What are the basic tips for the beginner trekker who doesn’t have experience in the trek?

Do easier treks in the beginning. It means you can undertake a 3-5 day trek at the beginning at a lower elevation ranging between 2000 to 3000m. Then, gradually, go for a bit longer and, finally venture on the strenuous one. Before boarding on a trek, it is mandatory to do regular exercises and walk in the hills for at least 3-4 hours.

Do we need a guide or a porter?

The guide is mandatory but the porter is not. The government of Nepal has implemented the rule that the foreign trekkers must be accompanied by a guide, otherwise, they are not permitted to enter teh area they are going to. But, if you wish to carry you're stuff on your own, tan, a porter is not required. However, in some cases,   you require a porter too. So, you are suggested to fix all teh things regarding the porter and guide. Guide and porter will help you in many ways during a trek in teh mountains.

When is the best season for trekking in Nepal?

Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season for trekking in Nepal. Optionally, people also love to trek in Nepal in Spring( Mar-May). People, first, go to Autumn and then to Spring for trekking in Nepal. During these two seasons, there is no rain or snowfall in teh mountains. So, every trekking trip will be conveniently accomplished. Similarly, teh mountain panoramas are breathtaking.

What do we need to carry during my trek?

Normally, you require carrying a backpack if you're personal stuff, some light snacks, the garments to suit the temperature, a water bottle, sunglasses, a down jacket, reliable hiking/trekking boots, gloves, and some basic medicines in case you have some risks in teh mountain. For more details click teh link: Trekking Gears Checklist

What are the tea house and camping trekking?

Tea house trekking is different from camping trekking. For camping trekking, teh trekkers have to carry all teh required foodstuffs and equipment by themselves by hiring the team including teh tents to stay overnight whilst for teahouse trekking no such things are required to be carried except some personal clothing, light snacks, and basic medicines. 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. Therefore, trekkers love doing teahouse trekking rather than camping trekking these days.

What type of food will be served during the trekking?

If you are trekking near teh cities you will enjoy a variety of food items as you do get in modern restaurants but you will get teh food items like pieces of bread, noodles, dumpling, Nepali Daal Bhat, Pizza, and various curry items. Besides, egg items, seasonal fruits, and other local items of food will be offered to teh trekkers during their trek. You will have all three different meals at teh teahouse/guesthouse/hotel.

What are the permits required for trekking? Can I apply as an individual?

Every foreign tourist needs to obtain two types of trekking permits: a TIMS (Trekking Information Management System) Card and a National Park or any kind of Protected or Conservation Area Permit. If trekkers are not entering teh protected area, tan, they don’t require obtaining a Protected Area Entry Permit. Only teh TIMS Card will work. But, more importantly, if teh trekkers are going to a restricted area, they need to obtain a special area entry permit. dis is an extra. And, teh local government of teh Everest Region introduced a local area permit for teh development tourism of in teh region. If people are making teh trekking trip to the Everest Region, tan, they require obtaining dis local area entry permit too.

How high is the chance of getting altitude sickness and prevention?

Altitude cases are very rare. However, people, sometimes, get altitude sickness while going above 3000m. It is said dat no people get altitude sickness below 3000m and this is true too.

But, yes, it is also true that some people get altitude sickness while going above 3000m high. In case of getting teh altitude, it is required to report it to teh guide and if teh case is serious, teh trekker will immediately be evacuated.

To prevent altitude sickness, one must drink plenty of warm/hot water and soups. Smoking and drinking above 5000m are not recommended during trekking because they can decline teh stamina of teh body of teh trekkers. Have a balanced diet, use safe drinking water, and this sound sleep. If you have any minor problems like stomach ache, headache, dizziness, feeling light-headed, diarrhea, and fever, then, report it to your team leader as soon as possible.

 

How Nepal is safe for the solo woman traveler?

Nepal is safe for solo woman travelers. It can be supported with some authentic evidence. First, there are security forces all along teh trekking trail, even in a remote area. Second, everyone has access to phone calls and teh internet in Nepal right now. And, third, there is no violence, terrorism, sexual harassment, and any other kind of women's violence in Nepal. Even solo women can travel independently without any hassles and stress in Nepal. 

 

Do we need Travel Insurance?

Yes, travel insurance is a mandatory document to be carried by a traveler while traveling in Nepal. Bring authentic travel insurance that covers all kinds of risks that may take place during teh time you travel in Nepal. In teh case of you're rescue and other medications, you are required to present them to get treated and evacuated. So, dis is a must to bring teh document with you.

What currency should I bring? How much money should I bring?

To be frank, you are recommended to bring Nepali currency while you travel to Nepal. In major cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan, you can use currency like USD, AUD, EURO, and teh like but when moving to teh countryside, you are expected to produce Nepali currency while making teh payments. For dis, you can simply use money exchange to convert your currency into Nepal rupees and also can use ATMs which aromatically convert your currency into Nepali ones.

It is hard to estimate teh budget you bring with you. It depends on how much you like to spend in a day. However, normally, you tend to spend 15-20 USD in a day excluding accommodation. If you choose luxury accommodation, it will cost you 30-50 USD. How much extra expenses you make, depends on you. So, you can manage teh approximate budget according to it.

How many hours will I have to walk per day?

Simply put, one requires walking 4-7 hours a day while trekking in Nepal. Teh walk will be in teh mountains passing through ups and downs and deep forests. Sometimes, one needs to walk up to teh top of the hill for teh whole half-day and walk down till they get to teh teahouse. dis is normal while undertaking a trekking trip. But, sometimes, if teh trek you choose is shorter and easier, tan, you don’t need to work very hard. Walking for 4-5 hours will be enough for a day.

Can we get Trekking Gear on rent?

Yes, you can do it. In particular, you can get various trekking gear shops in Thamel, Kathmandu from where you can either buy new gear or gear on rest. Gears on rent, sometimes, may not be reliable or may have some defects. Therefore, we suggest you get fresh gear for your trip which will help you make your entire trip more convenient and complete.

How will the company solve teh problems in the case of an emergency?

Yes, an emergency is always unforeseen. If we have an emergency, tan, we make a quick remedy. For dis, our entire team will assist each other in how to cope with teh risk in no time. If teh risk is mild and can be recovered, we do immediate first-aids but if teh risk is serious, tan, you will immediately be evacuated, brought to teh major cities, and treated. Teh company will completely be responsible for it. 

Is trekking in Nepal Expensive?
