NEWS  LETTER

  TREKKING IN NEPAL

GENERAL INFORMATION 

SEASON 
In general, the best trekking season extends from early October until the end of May. December till February can be very cold and higher altitudes get snow at this time, making some passes above 5000 meters quite un-crossable.

FITNESS
It is extremely important to be in good physical shape before you embark on a trek. The more physically fit you are, the more easily your body will adapt to hiking in the Himalayas. Resistance to cold and sickness is also increased.

CLOTHING
Whatever the trek and whatever the season, light clothing for warm weather is needed since even at high altitudes days are warm when the sun is out. You will need adequate warm clothing if you spend much time above 3000 m in winter.  A list of necessary items will be emailed/faxed to you on request. 
 

SAFETY 
All treks are planned to ensure full passenger safety and each day's schedule leaves you with time to explore and enjoy the trek, relax and to acclimatize.

Though we have not had any serious cases of emergency as yet unforeseen incidents beyond out control cannot be ruled out. We assist with immediate arrangements for rescue by land or air if the need arises. So it is requested that all passengers are properly insured specially for high altitude treks, to include rescue operation of any kind as the cost for any rescue operation is not included in our cost.
