Up to a maximum of 5-6 hours a day with lunch breaks along the trail. The maximum

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.

suitable for Everest base camp trekking(above 4000m). We will suggest to buy /rent
sleeping bags and so you can try it out. Also you can rent /buy sleeping bag in Kathmandu

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
