What you carry for the trek:
Please bring the equipments listed above. Please pack your gear for the trek into a duffel bag or rucksacks and a small day bag for you. The larger bag with your kit will be carried by the porters to meet you each evening. You should bring a day pack to carry by yourself for water, rain jackets, hat, gloves, camera, money etc. The weather in the mountain is changeable so you will need some warm cloths with you on your day pack.
What to do about the left over baggage:
One day before your departure for the trek you could leave the valuable things which you do not need on the trek such as passport, visa card, flight tickets in our safety box and the rest of the things you could store it in our store rooms.
Camping trek:
Travelling in the mountain regions at your own pace and uses tented accommodations at the end of the day. You will have cooks to prepare meals, guide and porters to carry load but we expect you to carry small personal bag packs.
On all of our camping treks, we observe the need to tread as lightly as possible. All waste paper is burnt. All other non-biodegradable garbage will be brought back. All water is purified; vegetables are treated with a water iodine base.
Meal: During our camping treks, our cook staff prepares simple but hygienic, nutritious and delicious meal.
Drinking water: In camping trek our cook staff will provide properly boiled and purified water for drinking and also we can take water purifying tablets or liquid. In Kathmandu, we suggest you to stay with mineral water or purify with water purifying tablets.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: A limited amount of warm water will be served each morning for washing (on camping treks). Teahouses usually have showers in lodges. We suggest not polluting streams or river waters.
EQUIPMENT: We provide sleeping tent, kitchen tent cum dinning tent in one and other necessary equipment for camping trek but you need to bring all your personal equipments etc.
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS: Check with your doctor and make sure that you have sound health. The most common health problem is diarrhea. We minimize the risks by consuming meals in camp (except on the teahouse treks). Our staff will attempt to ensure basic safety measures as medical services are severely limited or non-existent in these remote areas. However, a well-equipped first-aid kit will be carried by our staff.
