Tips to make the journey smooth

  • Some good Nepali brands sell high-quality trekking clothes and gear. You don't have to carry all that heavy luggage from home. You can buy or rent in Kathmandu at an affordable price. 
  • Make sure all the gear and clothing are good to go.
  • Don't forget to include air evacuation up to 6,000 meters and medical bills in your travel insurance. 
  • Carry a reusable water bottle. Buying plastic water bottles will cost you a lot of money.
  • Make sure to drink at least 2 liters of water and other fluids during the trek to keep yourself hydrated. A dehydrated body can suffer from altitude sickness easily.
  • Respect the locals and their culture. Feel free to interact with them, and don't be shy. Start with a big smile & Namaste, and everything will fall into place automatically. 
  • You can charge your devices in the teahouse. There are charging stations in every teahouse, however, you may have to pay a few extra bucks to use the service. Extra batteries or a solar charger will save you money.
  • The internet connection remains unstable most of the time, whether you use WiFi or cellular data. Don't get obsessed with sharing the trip details on social media; keep them for later.
  • You will need extra cash to buy services out of the package like hot showers, snacks, and beverages during the trek, and the shop owners only accept cash. So, withdraw enough cash from the city to use during the trek. There's no ATM on the route.
