    Weather/ Physical fitness/ Experience/ Daily routine

    The period between the First Week of March to First Week of June is often regarded as the best season for climbing in the Nepali mountains. Temperatures during this period in the Nepali mountains remain relatively warm 10° to 15°, much warmer than the one you experience during the winter. The most important thing about this season is that mornings mostly remain bright and clear. The afternoons remain mostly filled with warm air. The rhododendron forests in springtime create a spectacular scene. You can experience the wild and natural “Himalayan” beauty. Needless to say, June is much warmer and greener.

    Another best season for trekking in the Nepal is from second week of September to last week of November. This is often regarded as the ideal time for the panoramic view of mountains. Days during these months typically remain sunny and clear. Moderate temperatures and comparatively cool evenings make the experience of trekking and climbing in this part of the world quite unique.

     

     

    It is considered moderately difficult, with some technical sections that require climbers to use ropes and other climbing gear. A good level of strength and cardiovascular fitness is essential. Aim to exercise by cycling or running for at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Complement this with endurance or lower body strengthening workouts at the gym. Additionally, ensure you can carry a 10 kg load during the trek and climbing.

    Respecting local customs and traditions enhances your experience and fosters positive interactions with the community. Here are some aspects to keep in mind:

    The traditional greeting in the Everest region is “Namaste.” Use it when meeting locals or fellow trekkers.

    Dress Modestly: Dress modestly, especially when visiting monasteries or religious sites.

    Photography: Always ask for permission before taking photos of people or their homes.

    We wake-up call at 7 am an early morning. After a breakfast, we repack our duffel bag and leave it with your trekking staffs.

    We are normally on the trail before 8 a.m. Trek at your own pace; all you need carry is a daypack and camera. Guides hike along to point out interesting flora, fauna and sights. Along the trail are spots to relax, purchase a snack or soda, use toilet facilities and shop for souvenirs.

    We will have lunch about 11:30 am to 12:30 am.

    A typical day’s hike usually ends in the early afternoon. Time to read or nap before dinner. After dinner there is time to play cards, stargaze and reflect on all the wondrous moments of your day.

    Certainly! When trekking at high altitudes, it’s essential to acclimatize gradually to prevent altitude sickness. The provided itinerary includes acclimatization days to help you adjust to the altitude.

    It is not necessary to carry an oxygen cylinder. There are two well-established hospitals operated by international INGO teams in Khumjung and Pheriche, as well as two smaller hospitals in Namche and Lukla. Additionally, there is a small clinic in Gorak Shep, which is near Everest Base Camp.
    In case people need oxygen, they can obtain it from these facilities. Some lodges also have oxygen available at various locations.
    Generally, people use oxygen if mild symptoms worsen. In the mountains, we do not allow clients to remain in such conditions. Before reaching this stage, we take clients to lower altitudes where they feel safer or transport them to Kathmandu by helicopter for further treatment.
    The designed itinerary helps with acclimatization. Normally, people can complete this trip with only minor symptoms.

    Accommodations & Foods

    We do provide 3 stars hotel in Kathmandu on BB plan and tea house (mountain lodge) in trekking in AP plan (accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner). Tea Houses (mountain lodge) are more like hotels, with hot showers, western food, and private rooms (twin sharing). In this arrangement overnight halts with dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges) and lunches in local restaurants en-route. Freshly cooked food is served at all times (western, continental and Nepalese, Chinese, Indian and Tibetan meals are available in all places).

    Furthermore, as you will be staying in locally owned lodges you will be benefiting and interacting with the local community. It will give you a true feel for the Nepalese people and their lives.

    During the trekking portion, you’ll be accommodated in local lodges, while for the climbing segment, you’ll be staying in tents.

     

    Hygiene when trekking generally has improved considerably over the last ten years. Our guides have the local knowledge to choose the lodges which maintain a high standard of hygiene.

    While on trek you can expect to sample a variety of local foods including such items as Tibetan fried bread, soups, Momos (steamed dumplings), Daal bhat (lentils and rice), Tarkari (steamed, fried, or curried vegetables), potatoes (prepared in dozens of ways), pastas and even a version of pizza. Meats are rarely eaten although you may have canned tuna or sardines and the occasional yak stew. Breakfasts typically consist of eggs (prepared in many ways), hot porridge, muesli, toast, peanut butter and honey. Hot tea is served at every meal. Although food is looked upon as

    “fuel” rather than a “culinary art”, your cook will occasionally surprise you with such delights as banana fritters and apple crisps! You may want to bring you’re a few of your favorite trail snacks.


     

    You will get mix of toilet facilities from basic to western one. When discussing the topic of showering at higher altitudes during trekking, it’s essential to consider both hygiene and health factors.

    For the shower, generally, trekkers do showers 4 times during trip. We do not recommend to take a shower at the higher places due to altitude.

    Tourism is one of the major industries in Nepal. We wish to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. There are many categories of hotels in Nepal (from no-star to five star hotels). If you would like to upgrade accommodation, we are happy to follow accordingly.

    Most lodges serve boiled and filtered water, which is generally safe, we suggest a drop of iodine to be totally sure. And as well as it is possible to buy of bottled.

    You may bring power bars, Gu, Power Gel, cereal bars or similar high energy foods, powder Gatorade is also recommended to fight dehydration.

    Altitude sickness/ Insurance/ Medication/Equipment's

    Many people are concerned about altitude sickness. This problem, often known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a particularly important medical consideration while trekking in Nepal and Tibet. Altitude illness rarely occurs lower than 2800 meters (9520ft) and only minor symptoms occur below 3000 meters (9,800ft). AMS occurs when the body does not adapt well to less oxygen at higher altitudes. At 18,000 ft (5490m), there is one half the oxygen available as at sea level; on top of Mount Everest, only one third. The body tries to adapt to less oxygen by increasing the rate and depth of breathing, as well as the heart rate. Individual susceptibility to altitude sickness seems to be genetically determined.

     

    What happens to the body during altitude illness? Fluids accumulate in between the cells in the brain and/or the lungs, creating mild or severe symptoms. Mild symptoms include headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms usually resolve by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude. If symptoms worsens descent to lower altitudes is warranted..

     

    If you are resting at the same altitude and your symptoms are becoming worse, then it is also necessary to descend.

    More serious symptoms of AMS include increased tiredness, severe headache, vomiting,, loss of coordination, shortness of breath, cough. These extremely dangerous symptoms are called High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE). They can lead to unconsciousness and death within 12 hours.

     

    Increasing shortness of breath, cough and tiredness may also be signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE. HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored.

    Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude. The following substances can do this and should never be used by someone who has symptoms of altitude illness:

    • Alcohol
    • Sleeping pills (acetazolamide is the sleeping tablet of choice at altitude)
    • Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses

     

    To prevent AMS and respiratory depression, drink at least three liters of liquids a day and avoid getting cold. Altitude sickness can to a certain extent be prevented by acetazolamide (Diamox SR), 750mg per day. Some experts suggest a two-day trial before the trip. Please seek the advice of your personal physician. Please note that taking Diamox SR does not mean that you can ignore advice about proper acclimatization.

    To recap, serious symptoms of altitude sickness include:

    • A severe, enduring headache, which is not cured by ordinary painkillers
    • Marked nausea and repeated vomiting
    • Irritating dizziness or actual difficulty with balance and direction
    • Visual disturbances with flickering vision and problems judging distance
    • Pressure in the chest, rapid breathing and pulse rate, crackles in breathing and shortness of breath
    • Swelling beneath the skin (edema), typically around the eyes
    • Swollen ankles and hands
    • Confusion
    • Convulsions

    In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with descent to the lowest possible height.

    Prevention of Altitude Illness:

    • What happens to the body in altitude illness? Fluid accumulates in between cells in the brain and/or the Symptoms can be mild or severe. Mild symptoms of acute mountain sickness or

     

    AMS are headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms can resolve once someone is acclimatized e.g. by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude or symptoms may worsen needing someone to descend to lower altitudes.

    • When mild symptoms develop, it is a signal that you must stay at that altitude until symptoms have gone away. Usually within one or two days you will feel well and can continue your trek. If you are resting at the same altitude and your symptoms are becoming worse, then it is necessary to descend. Worsening symptoms of AMS including increasing tiredness, severe headache, vomiting, and loss of coordination. These are signs of High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE). HACE can lead to unconsciousness and death within 12 hours if progressive symptoms are ignored. Increasing shortness of breath, cough, and tiredness are signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE. HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored. Increasing shortness of breath, cough, and tiredness are signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored.
    • Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude. The following medications can do this, and should never be used by someone who has symptoms of altitude illness (these may be safe in non-ill persons, although this remains controversial):

    -Alcohol

    -Sleeping pills (acetazolamide is the sleeping tablet of choice at altitude)

    -Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses

    • Drink plenty of liquids (at least three litres a day)
    • Avoid getting
    • Altitude sickness can, to a certain extent, be prevented by acetazolamide (Diamox SR), 750mg per day from one day before ascent until two days after reaching the maximum height. Some experts suggest that to get to know the possible drug side effects it is wise to give it a two-day trial before the trip. This is an unlicensed use of this medicine, which is also only available on prescription, so it should only be undertaken on the advice of a doctor. Possible side effects include nausea: taste disturbance, tingling hands and feet, frequent and copious urination, visual disturbances and skin However, taking Diamox SR does not mean people can ignore advice about slow ascent.
