Consider
the
experience
and
fitness
level of
the
members
of your
group
carefully.
We can
advise
you
about
difficulties
&
challenges
relating
to each
route as
well as
the
scenic &
cultural
highlights
of the
relative
regions.
Give
yourself
enough
time to
allow
some
flexibility
in your
schedule
for
acclimatization,
side-trip
or extra
rest
day, if
needed.
Remember
Nepal
may not
be just
like it
is at
"home".
That is
one of
the
reasons
most
people
come
here.
Savour
the
differences
and
enjoy.
Our
staffs
are
knowledgeable
and
happy to
answer
your
questions
about
Nepali
culture
and
customs.
Pack
carefully.
Ask
about
seasonal
changes
and
temperature.
Be
prepared
for cold
nights
at high
altitudes
at any
time of
the
year.
Layered
clothing
works
better
than one
heavy
layer
and
gives
more
flexibility
for warm
mid-day.
Good and
comfortable
boots
will be
your
best
friend. Try
to keep
your
daypack
as light
as
possible.
Maximum
weight –
8 to 10
Kg. is
suggested.
Each
porter
carries
20-25
Kg.
Although
dokos
(wicker
carrying
baskets)
are more
picturesque,
we now
recommend
our
clients
put
their
personal
gear in
a
backpack
with a
good
hip-belt
to ease
the
porter’s
load.
Packing
gear for
two
clients
plus
their
personal
equipment
is a
usual
practice.
(An
alternative
to the
above
suggestion
is the
use of a
zippered
duffel
bag).
Respect
the
environment.
The
advice
"Take
nothing
but
photographs.
Leave
nothing
but
footprints"
remains
true.
Nepal
has
suffered
environmentally
in the
past.
Help us
to
change
the
trend
and
preserve
our
beautiful
land. |
