Nepal Trekking FAQs

Yes, absolutely, and it is totally free!

On arrival day in Nepal, our airport guide and driver will display the logo and name of our company, which we will send you before you fly to Kathmandu. Once you are out of Kathmandu Airport after visa and custom clearance, you will see them holding a company logo or name card at the airport, and they will greet you at the airport and assist you to transfer to your hotel.

We will provide a complimentary porter duffel bag to put your gear and things in for the trek, and you can store your suitcase or other baggage in a Kathmandu hotel with additional items which are not necessary on the trek.

One porter can carry up to 30 kg maximum, so you have to prepare a maximum of 15 kg per person, or even lower than that is better. In Kathmandu, we will check your clothing and gear and suggest carrying only those items that are necessary on the trek, so that you can leave extra clothing or gear in Kathmandu. It is always better to travel light

You are advised to drink a minimum of 3–4 liters a day to keep yourself hydrated all day long. The cheapest and best way to make your water drinkable is to purify it yourself. The process uses water drops, purifier pumps, or purifier liquids. The second option is to fill your water bottle with boiled water at the teahouses every morning, lunch time, and dinner time. We suggest carrying at least a 1.5-liter bottle or water bag that can contain 1.5 liters. That would be best. Buying boiled water costs around 1 US dollar per liter or a little bit more along the way. Bottled water is prohibited on the Annapurna base camp trek; however, bottled mineral water can be purchased for $1 to $2 USD, with the price increasing as you progress up the trek.

All the trek packages we offer have a hot shower already included.

As you go higher on the trek, there are some fees to charge your camera or electronic devices. It is normally free in many of the lodges we are staying in. However, in some of the lodges where only solar power is available, they have certain battery charging fees of US$1–3 per hour or full battery charges for your camera.

 Most places in the Everest region now have WIFI loaded prepaid cards available for purchase from Lukla or Namche. All the lodges in Namche and Lukla have WIFI in their lodges, which is free or US$ 2-3 for access for 24 hours. Be prepared that the higher you go, the price might be a little more.

Yes, you will need a sleeping bag, a down jacket, and trekking poles. In Kathmandu trekking shops, a sleeping bag costs US $1.5 per day and a down jacket costs the same.Trekking poles range in price from $5 to $10 per pole/stick.But all these things are available with us to use for free when you book the package with us. If you don’t feel comfortable using a sleeping bag or down jacket used by others, we advise you to bring your own, which is much better for your choice and your brand. Most trekkers have their own sleeping bag and down jacket to use.

If you walk slowly, it is okay. You can walk with one of our porters or with a guide. Those who walk comparatively fast, it is okay; they can walk together with another porter or with our assistant guides.

We have prepared all the treks' itinerary so well to prevent high altitude sickness above 4000-5000m. That’s why we have two days in every 3000-3500 m and 4000-4500 m for acclimatization. It won’t happen anything to most trekkers, but if there is a really serious illness due to altitude or any other reason, we will take care of an emergency helicopter evacuation to Kathmandu city for further medical facilities and treatment. We, as an agent, coordinate with your travel insurance. Please be informed that, you must have proper travel insurance that covers helicopter evacuation for medical purposes in the case of serious altitude sickness.
