Please bring what you need down to the hotel lobby before breakfast
and separate it into two piles - one for the trek and other

name of the trek you are on). Please deposit the goods that
you do not need and the valuables you do no wish to carry in
the hotel safe and ensure that you get a receipt for the goods
deposited. The receipt should kept safely. |
| Your
guide will come to the hotel and pick you up. We may leave for
your travel destination on a bus, car, of airplane. Nepali leaders
and guides conduct all of our treks and tours as the mountains
are their home and they have years of experience in the travel
trade business. Who better than a local guide to show you the
nooks and the crannies in the Himalayas and provide you with
an in sight to Nepalese cultures and manners. The trekking staff
members consist of a sirdar (head guide), cook and kitchen staff,
Sherpa guides, and porters. This self-contained team can take
you safely to the remotest regions of Nepal and provide you
with opportunities to explore and learn about the cultures that
make them among the friendliest and most cheerful of people.

| Daily
routine while on a trek |
|
|
On your trek, every morning, you will receive a wake up call
and cup of tea in your tent at around 6 am. A bowl of warm water
will be provided for washing. Before breakfast please make sure
that you have packed Your bag up all gear and please also stuff
your sleeping bag in your duffel bag, roll up your sleeping
mat into stuff sack, and make sure that your tent is free of
rubbish and ready for your next camp. |
|
Your baggage will now be tied up with other gear and carried
off early by porters. The baggage will not be available until
you reach the next camp. We usually hit the trail by 8 am. After
a good morning's hike, we stop for a lunch at around 11 a.m.
And rest for about two hours. As this is the warmest part of
the day, you can wash up, catch up with your writing, read a
book, or enjoy the scenery. Generally the afternoon walk is
a little shorter than the morning walk. You will reach the camp
by 4 p.m. on average. Please bear in mind that these timings
are not exact. Trail conditions, weather, and availability of
suitable campsites and water supply may influence our schedule.

|
|
| Longer
treks and climbs |
| While
on a rigorous, long, or remote area trek, please bear in mind
that walking duration and general trek routines may differ at
any time due to trail conditions and weather. Remote areas are
hard to predict. However, our guides and birders are very experienced
and have traveled in these areas.They will assure that you are
safe and will always lend a helping hand. We hope that you will
extend full cooperation from your end. High altitudes and remote
Himalayan regions should never be taken lightly. Another note,
on longer difficult treks the food provided by our expedition
cooks may not be as varied as on shorter treks. In these trips
we have really totally on what we can carry as there may be
no villages on the trail and we will be far from fresh food
supplies. |
|
|
| Change
in travel arrangement and unscheduled delays |
| In
case, voluntarily, if you make a decision to change your travel itinerary
in the middle of your trek/trip, you will have to bear all any additional
charges involved. our guide will advise you regarding the logistics
involved but bear in mind that you are responsible for all arrangements.
Since Nepal is a third developing country, delays may occur due to
weather problems and transport difficulties. Delays and waiting are
common in this part of the world. We will do what we can to make things
happen. We hope that you will also appreciate this aspect of your
travel experience: travel experience in Nepal comes as a package. |
