Important Information:

• Fitness:
  Trekking in Nepal is a unique experience; so to get maximum enjoyment you should be physically and mentally prepared. No trek is easy so preparation should commence months before – walking, jogging, hiking (one or two bricks in pack) is helpful.
• Altitude Sickness:
  Altitude sickness, often known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), can affect any person, irrespective of age or level of fitness. No training can prevent this illness. Generally, those who trek too fast or gain altitude too quickly are more likely to be affected. When trekking, “Bistarai” (slowly) is very good advise. Once over 3,000 meters, daily vertical gains of over 500, meters should not be exceeded. Your guide is aware of this so take his advice.
• Symptoms:
  • Nausea/Vomiting

  • Slight swelling of hands and feet

• Unexpected Situations:
  No matter how well treks/tours are organized, the Nepali environment rules supreme. Flights and vehicular travel throughout Nepal are prone to cancellations and delays due to poor weather conditions at only a moment’s notice. When planning you itinerary it is advisable to add extra days. Just in case. Also take with you extra money to cover extra food/accommodation. The trekking company is not responsible for any additional expenses caused by delays.

• Medical:
  To fully enjoy you trek/tour you must have a complete medical check well before you depart. Preventive measures – better than treatment. Do not travel without vaccination: Hepatitis, A/B/C, polio, meningitis, tetanus, typhoid. Treatment of any illness outside of Kathmandu is almost non-existent, a basic first aid kit is essential as porters and villagers often seek basic help and also for your use, don’t forget to have a dental check. Altitude can cause loose fillings to fall out, Kathmandu does have some excellent dental facilities, but outside Kathmandu……………..!

• Insurance:
  This is your responsibility. The trekking company takes no financial responsibility for any delays, cancellation, medical treatment or evacuation; appropriate insurance coverage must include evacuation by helicopter. If no such coverage, the cost is huge.

• Non-Completed Treks/tours:
  The company is not liable to refund any monies should the agreed trek/tour be shortened due to injury, illness, non-interest or changed weather/environmental and political conditions. If trek/tour is incomplete there is no refund. If trekker cancels trek after permits, bus/flight tickets and other arrangements etc. have made, a 50% cancellation fee is charged.
