Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is trekking for me?
If you are reasonably fit and enjoy walking you will find a trek in the site to suit you. Normally the shorter treks tend to be easier whilst the longer ones often require a better standard of fitness. All treks in the site have been graded. It is also worth remembering if we are tailoring your tour, you can choose the pace and direction of your experience.
2. How far do we walk each day?
This is best measured in time – about 5 to 6 hours for each full day (or 12-15 km) in hilly terrain. In the morning we walk from 8-11 am and in the afternoon from 1-3 or 4 pm. A 1/2-day or full day for rest is planned for each trek over 8 days in length.
3. Where to stay during trek?
In the more popular trails (Annapurna Everest and Langtang) there are well-established Mountain lodges providing sleeping accommodation and meals. Gone are the days when trekkers had to share dormitories, almost all lodges nowadays provide private rooms and many also have solar showers and clean toilet facilities. You can of course opt. for a camping trek in these regions but as many campsites are connected to lodges it is debatable whether there is real benefit being under canvas. Trekking in more remote areas necessitates transporting in all the needs for the group (tents food etc). Our cook team prepares food and drinking water is adequately treated.
4. What about the tents and sleeping bags if I camp?
Tents & pads, are provided. Tents are designed for double occupancy. Please bring your own sleeping bag if trekking in Nov- Dec make sure your sleeping bag is rated to -10 degree C.
5. What will the trail be like in the trek?
Most of the trails that we follow are centuries old. Because of the rugged nature of the Himalayas, there is more exposure to heights as the grade is steeper. Where the trek follows rivers there will be bridges, as the trail will often reverse sides. The bridges are constructed with cables, wire, and plank and are strong enough for heavily laden pack animals.
6. Is the food/ water safe to eat / drink?
Hygiene when trekking generally has improved considerably over the last ten years; we have local knowledge to choose the lodges, which maintain a high standard of hygiene. If you are camping in a tent, all meals are prepared to high standards, fruit and vegetables are soaked in iodine before preparation. Most lodges serve boiled and filtered water, which is generally safe, we suggest a drop of iodine to be totally sure. We discourage the purchase of bottled water for the obvious environmental reasons. Please bring a water bottle with you, which you can refill.
