TRAVEL GUIDE
EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU FLY
The practical side of planning a trek in Nepal, answered before you have to ask.
Permits & Fees
Most treks require a TIMS card plus a regional permit (Sagarmatha, Annapurna Conservation Area, or a restricted-area permit for Dolpo). We arrange all paperwork before you arrive — you just need passport copies and photos.
Best Season
Late September to November and March to May give the clearest skies and stable weather. Winter treks are possible on lower routes; the monsoon (June–August) is best avoided except in the rain-shadow Dolpo region.
Packing List
Layered clothing, a -10°C rated sleeping bag, broken-in boots, trekking poles, a headlamp, and a water purification method. We provide a full checklist once you book, tailored to your specific route and season.
Altitude Sickness
Every itinerary above 3,000m is built with proper acclimatization days. Guides carry a pulse oximeter and are trained to recognize AMS early — ascend slowly, hydrate, and speak up if you feel off.
Food & Accommodation
Teahouse treks mean a hot meal and a bed every night — dal bhat, noodle soups, and hearty breakfasts. On remote routes like Dolpo we carry camping gear and a dedicated kitchen crew.
Getting to Nepal
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is the arrival point for nearly every trek. Visas on arrival are available for most nationalities — we'll send exact requirements after booking.
