Trekking Information

- trekking information

Trekking simply is a long journey in the mountains which covers regular walking on the trail from 01 day to many days as per interest. Even in easy trekking, the trekkers will require walking about 5 to 6 hours daily on uneven terrain. Nepal probably offers the best trekking option in the globe as the bio-diversity is amazingly different. There are lots of routes for Trekking in Nepal and all are equally beautiful with different landscapes, mountains and peoples.

Trekking in Nepal are of two types: Teahouse Trekking and Camping Trekking. A Teahouse Trekking is enormously standard even if it is local run guesthouse. Teahouse trek is very popular in the well - developed tourist regions including Annapurna, Everest and Langtang – Helambu regions where western, continental meals, Nepalese meal (Dal bhat), and clean accommodation are available in most of the places. This type of trekking offers you good food, good accommodation in the available teahouses & lodges.

Likewise, Camping Trekking is best called as Fully Organized Supported Trek. As exploratory or mountaineering expeditions, camping Trek is also organized in the same style. Camping trek includes a team of guide, cook, Sherpa, & porters to give you accompany. Our porters carry all trekking gears, food, fuel, & personal belongings, & our cooks & assistant prepares hot meals & carry out, supervises the whole operations. Trekkers should carry only small bag or what they might need during the day. At night, they are provided dining tents, sleeping tents, & toilet tents. They are also provided with mattresses and down sleeping bags, all of which are carried for them with the party. Even tables and chairs are carried.

Altitude Sickness during Trekking in Nepal
Rapid accent to high altitudes often results in the syndrome known as acute mountain sickness (AMS). At elevations between 2500m and 5000m, about 20% to 90% of those who are not adapted to high altitude will experience mild symptoms of AMS. In the Mount Everest region, approximately 50% of trekkers who walk to altitudes above 4000m over five days develop AMS. Males and females are similarly affected. Anyone regardless of age and fitness venturing to higher altitudes can develop AMS. There is an increase in breathing frequency when one is exposed to lower oxygen environment. This natural response is known as the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) and there is some evidence to suggest that people with a low HVR are more liable to develop AMS. However, the well-known mountaineers Messner and Habeler, who were the first ever to climb Everest without supplementary oxygen, both had low HVR's and were interestingly not susceptible to AMS. This makes it difficult to determine if you will suffer from AMS or not.

The Symptoms of AMS : Headache / Nausea / Fatigue / Loss of Appetite / Vomiting / Dizziness / Irritability / Disturbed Sleep

Prevention : Acclimatization (After 1000 m. ascent stay one more night for Acclimatization)- Don’t make RAPID Ascent (Don’t go too far too fast) No Alcohol, Sleeping pills and Smoking. Drink more fluid 3-4 Liters a day- clean water-boiled or treated / tea / coffee / soup / juice etc.

Climb higher and sleep lower.
Do not travel alone
