Different Trekking Types:
On popular trekking routes like the Everest, Langtang and Annapurna trails, we organize tea house or lodge-treks. In more remote areas, we provide camp treks.
Tea house or lodge Trekkings:
We provide a guide and a sufficient number of porters for tea house or lodge trekkings. Lodging is in a tea house or lodge. Some feature separate guest rooms, others common dormitories of the sleep-in type. Meals are prepared by the lodge owners and are plain but nutritious. Soft drinks, beer and alcoholic beverages are to be paid for separately.
Camping Trekkings:
We provide camping tours for remote regions as Dolpo, Mustang, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Makalu or for people who do not wish to depend on local facilities. Also for climbing treks like Everest-Island Peak and Mera peak trek we provide camping equipment. The equipment made available by us comprises comfortable tents sleeping two, mattresses, sleeping bags, cotton sheets, a toilet tent, a kitchen tent, a cooking tent, tables, chairs, complete kitchen equipment and the food necessary during the trip.
The group is accompanied by a team under the orders of an experienced sirdar (Nepalese for 'leader')helped by a number of guides and kitchen boys. Our Sherpa guides are, among others, in charge of the camp sites, guiding and helping our guests. The kitchen staff is under the orders of an experienced cook having a long experience of guests from all over the world and is helped by the kitchen boys.
Lodgings:
Prices are on the basis of a double room or tent shared by two. Single rooms or tents can be arranged for against extra payment. In the case of tea house or lodge trekkings, depending on the regions and the facilities available, lodgings are in separate guest rooms or common dormitories.

Rescue : |
Although ninety-nine percent of the time there won't be any need for a emergency rescue evacuation, emergency situations do arise in the Himalayas with illness, AMS (acute mountain sickness), snow storms, landslide, and avalanches being the primary cause for rescue to take place. In a non-life threatening situation, we will arrange for the porters to carry you to the nearest health post or hospital. Where the situation is more serious, one of your Sherpa's will hurry to the nearest communication center where he can request a Helicopter Rescue from our Kathmandu office.
We have at our disposable one of the best helicopter pilot with many years of flying experience in Royal Nepal Army, and has flown many rescue flights. However, the helicopter rescue is an expensive business, and a typical rescue can cost anywhere between US $3600 to $5000, depending on the location of the rescue.Therefore, we highly recommend that you take travel a insurance which will cover emergency helicopter rescue flight. To enable us to contact your insurance company in case of a rescue and not to loose any valuable time we will need the co-ordinates of your insurance companies local representative for Nepal. |
