Useful Information

Tea - House/Lodge Treks:

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 tables instead of buying water in plastic bottles. Your Trekking Guide will suggest you the best and most ecological friendly way for drinking water during a trek depending on a trek area. 
We advise to have your own water bottle with you for the whole trek which you can refill at the lodge/campsite in the evening and morning or at lunch break on the way.  
Food:
For Tea - House Treks food will be provided at the tea - house /lodge on menu. 

Altitude: 
Acclimatization is important for the trekking above 3500m. 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 tour leader or Sirdar will be watching for symptoms with an experienced eye throughout the trip. These symptoms are commonly headache, nausea, lethargy and sometime breathlessness. 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 course of action. Your tour leader will advise you more thoroughly regarding the altitude and most of the problems prior to starting on trail. 

Group Size:
In our trip, the minimum group size would be two and maximum group size is ten or more on request. We can also organize private trip to solo person with single supplement cost. Else, join our estimated group departure dates available online or ask us with your personal dates, we will open group date on the same date.
