Up to a maximum of 5-6 hours a day with lunch breaks along the trail. The maximum
altitude is depends upon which trek you are going. In Nepal normally the maximum altitude
of most of the trekking falls between 3500m to 5000m
To some trekkers when they go over 3000 m they may feel some affect of altitude sickness
like shortness of breath and possibly a light headed which is fairly common. Sometime they
may also get diarrhea as well as sprains and muscle aches. In such case our guide who is

avoidable. If your follow a few simple rules you will not suffer from altitude sickness. Rules

recommend to hire in Lukla for Everest base camp trek. The porter cost approximately USD
15. If you want to hire a porter then please let us know at the time you make your trek
booking. After Lukla it is very difficult to get porter. if your hire porter above the Lukla or

you will not be cold. During the evening, it gets cold so, long trousers and a warm jersey is
essential.

particular medicines, it would be best to bring them with you.

like sleeping bags, down jackets, walking sticks, rucksacks, duffel bags and other
equipments on reasonable price.

have telephone facilities. From there you can make international calls to your home and
friends staying any part of the world.
Nepal is absolutely safe country to travel. Our staffs do take every precaution to ensure the
comfort and safety of the trekkers. Before 2006 when Maoist movement was going on,
there was a kind of fear in few trekking destinations. But today they have also come to
peaceful political stream. So there is no more any fear and need to give donation for any
party.

the person you should go to with all problems, concerns and questions. He is well trained in
all aspects of trekking, high altitude medicine, first aid and emergency procedure. He is

and their English may be basic and limited to trek related topics. About porters, they carry
