Practical Info
- Permits & Fees
- Every permit your route needs — TIMS card, national park and conservation area fees — is arranged by us and already in the trip price. Bring four passport photos.
- Visa on Arrival
- Most nationalities get a visa at Kathmandu airport. Carry USD in cash for the fee and a passport valid for six months beyond your return date.
- Travel Insurance
- Required, without exception. Your policy must cover trekking to the maximum altitude on your itinerary and include helicopter evacuation.
- Accommodation
- Twin-share teahouse lodges on the trail, three-star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Single rooms are available in the cities on request.
- Meals & Water
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner on trek, chosen from the lodge menu. Bring purification tablets or a filter bottle — buying bottled water on the trail is expensive and leaves plastic behind.
- Gear & Packing
- Layered clothing, a broken-in pair of boots and a four-season sleeping bag. Down jackets and bags can be hired in Kathmandu, and we send a full checklist once you book.
- Altitude & Acclimatisation
- Itineraries build in acclimatisation days and your guide carries a pulse oximeter. Ascend slowly, drink more than you think you need, and tell your guide about any headache early.
- Money & Connectivity
- Draw rupees in Kathmandu — ATMs thin out fast above the trailhead. Most lodges sell wifi and charging by the hour; a local SIM covers the lower valleys.
