Above things are required for the normal trekker and if you have yourselves, you can bring and if do not have and want to buy and hire in Nepal, we have every equipment cheaper price than your country.

You require your crampons and best waterproofing boots, Ice ax but, except boots, you can get as renting in Nepal and you don’t need to bring from your country.

Normally, I use to organize every bodies trip as package base for that easiness for the trip. It means, they are free from all kinds of dealing with the cost every day. They can explore with beautiful sceneries of Himalayas and natures every day with flexible itineraries & dynamic services.

So many my previous clients they were so satisfied and enjoyed a lot with our Guiding performance and all kinds of services during those trips. So, I am sending you my very reasonable package cost with some more options. I hope, you will understand we are working crews ourselves and we don’t need to pay commission and your payments goes directly to the workers.

Fitness:

This is fairly demanding trek and so you should be reasonably fit, or know that you can get fit quickly. It isn't possible nor necessary to get truly trekking fit before the trek. I trek a daily itinerary that suits loaded porter, who carrying 20 kg loads cover more distance that you might think, but not so much so as to finish you. Over the course of the first week you'll be amazed at how your fitness improves. You can even get exercise in your city before you come; swimming, small day hiking and physical fitness may help you to hike in Nepal Himalaya.

High Altitude Sickness:

When trekking or climbing above 3000m/10,000ft it is important to take into account the effect of altitude on your body. The thinner air affects you in many ways and if you go high too fast you can kill yourself as we have seen on this year one of 53 years old Indian and 57 years Russian citizens from Pune and Moscow died suddenly in Namche as soon as they arrived.

AMS - Acute Mountain Sickness

Commonly called altitude sickness, this has the potential to affect all trekkers from 2500m and higher. Your body needs time to adjust to smaller quantities of oxygen in the air - at 5500m/18,044ft the air pressure is approximately half that of sea level, ie there is half the amount of oxygen (and nitrogen). This is approximately equivalent to the top of Kala Pattar, in the Everest region.

For treks below an altitude of about 3000m/10,000ft, it is not normally a problem. AMS is caused by going up high too fast and can be fatal if all the warning signals are ignored. Note that it is not the actual altitude, but the speed at which you reach higher altitudes which causes the problems.

Altitude sickness is preventable. Go up slowly, giving your body enough time to adjust. These are the 'safe' rates for the majority of trekkers: spend 2-3 nights between 2000m/6562ft and 3000m/10,000ft before going higher. From 3000m sleep an average of 300m/1000ft higher each night with a rest day every 900-1000m/3000ft. ultimately it is up to you to recognize the symptoms, and only ascend if you are relatively symptom-free.

Rescue? if incase?

I trek with limited distance every day so that my every client can take advantage of being in the Himalaya, However, Some time suddenly or Just in case of your usual disease or other accidental causes may need you to get rescued from Himalaya.

So at that duration you will be fully responsible to pay the Helicopter charges as soon as you arrive in Kathmandu by yourself or asking amount from your home country or with the response from related Embassy in Kathmandu, which will be paid back by your Insurance company in your country after claiming your paid in Nepal amount with the help of Doctors certificates, Airlines Certificates and other documents given from authorized Person like Guide, Local Govt. Member or People of related fields where you get sick.

We are the authorized Trekking Guides and Porters Cooperative only one trekking company in Nepal which is registered in Nepal Government company, Nepal Tourism board and every single affiliate companies of Nepal trekking.

The Trail Conditions:

Straight, Uphill, Downhill, Jig Jag with small rocky, pebbles, muddy, somewhere dusty, man-made stone steps, through the moss covered forests, Rocky glacier or If snows, snowy path crossing suspensions metal bridges and wooden bridges over the rivers and streams are the main features of Trekking trials of Nepal. So You should be mentally prepared to spread over your foot on this land. Do not need to be the worry, if you have already physical exercises and practices to the hiking would be easy. We have acclimatized days and it makes you so comfortable to do Nepal trek.

Electricity:

Just in Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazar, Thame, Khumjung, Tengboche, and Pangboche does have hydroelectricity, You can recharge your camera batteries just in those places. After that level, you will need to sleep with candles and Solar battery lights just in the Dining Room during the dinner time and you can not recharge the batteries.

Water and Chances of getting sick:

However Nepal is second richest in the world for water after Brazil, The water here is just 0.3% of total water is pure. Because most of the rivers flow from the glacier and from top to bottom and hilly mountains. As you know people live on the mountain and the animals graze in the pastures and most of the manual flows together. On the other hand, you can buy the mineral water bottle but we feel very sorry to discourage you from not to buy, considering our Environment. But there is an idea, We can purify the water using some Iodine Pills or Purifying drops which can be available in drug stores in Kathmandu. We can use the water after nearly boiled which is safe.

Telephone and E-mail facilities during your Trek:

You can call at your home or friends from Just in Lukla, Namche Bazar, Tengboche, and Dingboche by now. Those destinations have telephone facilities for the moment. However, you have chances to send and receive e-mail from Namche Bazar. Here are several internet cafe facilities via satellite and quite fast by now. So you do not need to worry about the communication gap with your family or friends during your trek.
