National/ international food, local food, fast food, dessert items, snacks etc. are easily available in cities areas like; Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbin,... While in case of remote areas one can enjoy local food prepared by the local people. Everest region is famous for trekking and mountaineering so there we can get good quality of food but option and variety might be less in compared to main cities area.
Drinking Water: We highly advise to minimize use of plastic during the trek. Please always remember that there is no any plastic recycle facilities up in the Mountains. In this regard we highly recommend you to use boiled water for drinking or use water purification tablets instead of buying water in plastic bottles. Your guide will suggest you the best and most ecological friendly way for drinking water during your trek depending on trekking trail. We advise to have your own water bottle with you for the whole trek which you can refill whenever you need.
Acclimatization: It is very important for the trekking above 2500 m. Our trekking schedules have been carefully designed to maximize your ability to acclimatize safely. We ascend slowly and ensure an adequate number of rest days. However, it is still possible for mountain sickness and your guide will be watching for symptoms with an experienced eye throughout the trip. These symptoms are commonly headache, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and feeling difficult to breathing. If you or any of the group members display any of these symptoms he will be able to provide informed advice and ensure a proper action. Your guide will advise you more thoroughly regarding the altitude and most of the problems starting on trial.
Best Season: As what one can see highly depend upon the seasonal condition, it is always best to travel on the best season for the corresponding trek.

The best season for trek in Nepal is Mar-May (spring) and Sep-Nov (autumn); though trek can be do throughout the year.
Expert Team: Working your way through dangerous mountainous route can be very challenging and adventure. One can encounter less stamina, high altitude, weather condition, steeply and slippery path way while travelling depending upon the route one choose.

All of our staff is provided with insurance, medical services and equipment as their safety is something we do not take lightly.

So one should only carry appropriate and only absolute necessary equipment with self; warm clothes, trouser, t-shirts, hiking boots, sunglasses, sun cream, knife, walking stick, backpack, headlight, sleeping bags are among the essential stuff one requires. Equipment we provide are limited so, one should manage required equipment by self or it can be bought in any appropriate places.
Safety and Security: Safety and security of traveller and team staff is matter of great concern to us. Selection of proper route, highly trained professional team and equipment required is done with great care and knowledge. We have proper remedial services during the trek with professional staffs; first aid kit, oxygen bag and helicopter service for emergency rescue whenever trekkers get physical loss or altitude sickness.

Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flight may be delay by few hours or even cancelled due to bad weather condition. So, you should be prepared for such flight delays or cancellations. But we will do our best to avoid such conditions. In case of flight cancellation, we will try to get you on the flight for the next day. Getting early flight for the next day may not be possible during the high season so, we can arrange flight by helicopter as well but it will cost a bit higher. If we have a group of 4 or 5 people, we can charter helicopter. It will be advisable to have extra days in Kathmandu before and after the trekking. We can arrange you day tour, in Kathmandu valley with extra cost if the extra days are not used for the flight conditions to Lukla and back. If the flight is delayed and cancelled for several days which could disturb your onward journey, you are free to choose trekking in Annapurna, Langtang and other regions and we will arrange the alternative trek for you as soon as possible.
