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 day's 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. |
