Frequently Asked Questions
1.How long the trek will be?
Generally, the duration of trek depends on your
time, interest and location. Your trek can last
anywhere from 2-3 days to an entire month or longer
if you wish. We can accommodate day hikes, cultural
visits to local villages, and relaxing rest days on
your trek. The decision is up to you.
How difficult are the treks?
The difficulty of our treks depends on where you
want to trek and how long you want to go. The
shorter Treks tend to be easier while the longer
ones require some physical fitness. Be prepared for
some steep trails leading to amazing views. The pace
at which you hike is up to you. We have friendly and
dependable porters to assist you with your personal
gear.
What are the teahouses like?
They are the combination of guesthouse, restaurant,
and social hang out. We encourage all trekkers along
the Everest, Langtang, and Annapurna treks to try
our tea house treks. Our many years of experience
along these routes have helped us find the
friendliest, cleanest, and most enjoyable teahouses
with the best views. Most teahouses have running
water. Many have hot water available for bathing.
But we discourage our groups from using water heated
by wood fires due to lack of firewood in most
villages. Deforestation is a big environmental
concern in Nepal They are also a great way help
support local villages.
Will we have private rooms and
bathrooms?
Private rooms are available in most teahouses except
for those at very high altitudes. Most bathrooms are
shared. On our camping treks we also provide
bathroom facilities for our groups.
Where do we eat our meals?
If you are on a teahouse trek you will eat breakfast
and dinner at your teahouse. We will stop for lunch
at one of the various trail side restaurants. And
snacks are always easy to find. If you are on a
camping trek we will prepare all meals and snacks.
What type of food is served?
Most tea house serves the traditional Nepali meal
DalBhat (rice and curried lentils). All teahouses we
stay at have a variety of different foods on the
menu including noodles, rice, potatoes, vegetables
and soup. Some have Nepali versions of western food
such as pizza and French fries the choice is yours.
Sodas and beer are available at most of the
teahouses and of course Nepali milk tea is served
every where.
How hygienic the food is?
It’s our prime concern, which is why we do our best
to choose teahouses and restaurants with clean and
sanitary kitchens. On our camping treks, we provide
a cook to prepare safe and tasty meals with our own
set of cookery as well as hygienic cleaning
facilities.

Where do we get water during the trip?
All teahouses have boiled water for trekkers. Your
guide will provide you boiled or iodize water of
your need. We discourage the purchase of bottled
water while on the trail. The plastic bottles are
difficult to dispose and have become an
environmental problem.
What clothes should I bring?
Choosing the right clothing is very important. You
want to have enough clothes to stay warm or cool yet
not over pack. Usually you will have warm days and
cold nights. A warm jacket either fleece or down can
be nice for the evening. Long under wear and wool
socks are good for warmth too. We encourage people
to bring a light pair of pants and shorts for
hiking. Sunscreen and glasses are a must. Rain and
hail can appear on a trek so we suggest a Gore-Tex
jacket. Most gear can be purchased in Kathmandu or
Pokhara at one of the many outdoor gear shops.
What type of shoes or boots should I
wear?
The proper footwear depends on the trek. Shorter
treks can be done in comfortable running shoes while
longer ones require sturdy but lightweight hiking
boots. In Kathmandu, you can find some outdoor gear
shops selling or renting these items. If you want to
avoid looking one another shops to find boots of
your size, we encourage you to bring these items
along with you after all – proper fit is a must.
What will the weather be like?
We pay close attention on weather reports before any
of our tours departure. Of course, we send you
details after finalizing – the route.
How will the altitude effect me?
Altitude sickness can be a worry for many people
coming from sea level. Which is why our itinerary
specially designed to suit our customers extra days
to acclimate to the higher altitudes. Our guides are
trained to spot any signs of altitude sickness and
attentive to react.
What happens if there is an emergency?
Our guides are trained to face in most of the basic
ailments that occur during a trek, but if they’re
serious emergency occur, then outside help is
needed. In that case we initially cover the cost of
an evacuation until your insurance company can
deliver the payment To avoid losing payment of this
regard you should have your own insurance before
coming to Nepal.
How much money should I bring
for the trek?
The amount of money you bring on a trek depends on
you. Cold sodas during the day and an occasional
beer after a long day of hiking can be awfully nice.
These along with any souvenirs and film are personal
expenses. We have a safe in our office where plane
tickets and money can be kept.
What sorts of guides do you have?
We have some of the most dependable and experienced
guides in Nepal, who have spent years exploring the
mountains and countryside of Nepal. All guides speak
good English and have a deep knowledge of the
various trekking routes. Our guides are attentive to
react at any situation, and most all our guides are
friendly and always willing to share blend of Nepal.

language than English?
