Tour Definition:
Camping trek: The traditional style of trekking;
clients are led by a guide accompanying by a team of cook staffs and
porters or livestock carriers with all camping plus kitchen equipment
and food. You should carry only your daypack with camera, water bottle,
journal, batteries, etc. and your luggage with all your cloths, sleeping
bag, etc. will be carried by porters to the camp. You spend night
single or double in roomy double tent on thick sleeping pad. Your
day begins with wake-up call (usually between 6.30 and 7.30) with
a cup of hot drinks followed by warm wash water for washing and breakfast.
Breakfast will be served at table set by staffs and hot lunch will
be served at noon picnic style, eat your dinner at private dinning
tent and have the facility of toilet tent and camp area. Sherpa staffs
accompany you on the trail, set up camp and are ready to help at any
moment to cross the bridge or find right way. Your guide takes you
to show monuments, temples, villages' viewpoints and shares fascinating
encounters. The cook staffs take every precaution to assure clean,
tasty and healthy food to the clients and staffs.
Meal: Except during teahouse trek, our cook staffs
simple but hygienic, nutritious and delicious prepare meal. Each main
meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) contains at least 4 varieties with
the choice of hot drinks.
Drinking water: In camping trek our cook staffs
will provide the properly boiled and purified (iodinated) water for
drink. In Kathmandu , we suggest you to stay with mineral water. You
can buy a bottle of water (1litre) costs about NRs.15 to 30, depends
on where you buy on a shop or restaurant. The tap water is not drinkable
since it's not purified.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: A limited amount of warm water
will be served each morning for washing (on camp trek). Teahouses
usually have showers. On rest days trekkers may want to wash clothes,
bath from streams or rivers with biodegradable soap.
EQUIPMENT: We provide sleeping tent, warm enough
sleeping bags and down jackets for camping trek and other necessary
equipment. For a Teahouse trek, we provide warm down jackets, sleeping
bags, rain jackets etc. But the traveler must have their own comfortable
equipment such as warm and comfortable walking boots and few pairs
of nice socks, comfortable clothing, sunglass, gloves and body lotions
etc. We send you a complete list of equipment and other accessories,
which will need to bring, but generally you need to be well equipped
for cold weather with, warm clothing, rain suit, T-shirt, hiking boots,
sunglasses and toiletries. Most of the equipment can be rented or
bought in Kathmandu but we prefer you to bring from home as local
made are not perfect
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS: Check with your doctor and make
sure that you are as healthy as possible before you leave home. The
most common health problem is diarrhea. We minimize the risks by eating
most of our meals in camp (except on the teahouse treks). Our staffs
will attempt to secure but does not guarantee, the services of medical
services are severely limited or non-existent in remote areas. However
a well-equipped first- aid kit will be carried and the trip leaders
or guides are trained in first aid. |
