FAQs

  • Certainly this will be an exciting holidays for your people as well for adults, where walk leads to ups and down that is only the tough bit, otherwise it’s a great interesting walks for all. For minor infants please bring carriage with straps to carry the younger kids especially on ups and down trails, where we can hire extra porters to carry the baby with carriage.

  • Depending upon your time and duration for the trek you can book this trip at least 2-3 weeks ahead of our departure dates for the trek, with advance payment as per the norms and rules of the company. Make sure that you have checked your medical and physical fitness before signing the trip and as well purchasing medical and travel insurance which is very important for this kind of adventurous trek in Nepal Himalaya.

  • From a minimum 3-4 person in the group with a maximum of 10-15 persons in the group, in some cases we do allow booking for single person as well, running independent at extra cost than in groups.

  • As per the season, where best time is from March to May, when most of the day is clear with minimum temperatures of 0° to 20° Celsius depending upon the altitude and area. Where most of the morning till mid days clear for views and walks, sometimes the afternoon can get overcast with chances of light rains and snow. March to May will be lively with wildflowers in full bloom especially various species of rhododendron (national flower of Nepal) from trees to short bushes.

  • Tea-House was the word used in the early days when there were smaller numbers of lodges on route trekking, At present each village has more than 10 to 20 good lodges with pleasant rooms and accommodations, serving excellent food menus as per the season wise. Some villages above 2,500 m do have nice lodges, but due to freezing cold temperatures in the night and morning time where they have toilets on the outside, with some inside as common bathrooms and rest rooms. All rooms and dining with warm heating and cozy facilities make your stay much more pleasant and enjoyable.

  • Most of the places do have electricity on route trekking run by hydro-power after main villages, where much of the electric supply is private and individual of the lodge owners with sun / solar power to activate electricity just for the lodge and as well for customers to charge their computers and cell-phones. Some places do have networks for cell phones and as well for internets like Wi-Fi above Chomroong some areas due to high peaks and hills, the networks are disturbed in deep areas like river gorge areas. At present nearly all people in Nepal including remote villages do have assistance to cell phones with fine network connections only in bad weather the line can be broken, otherwise it is fine in working order.

  • In this situation where our guides are well equipped with knowledge for emergency and medical purposes, depending upon the seriousness of the victims if it is critical where the nearest medical attention is needed, we call for immediate evacuation for Helicopter services to reach the victims to the nearest medical station and hospital.

  • Scenic views of the world’s highest mountains with the Dhaulagiri-Annapurna and Manaslu ranges include magnificent Machhapuchare Himal ‘Fish Tail’ peaks, where a walk leads you around Buddhist country interwoven with old traditional life and customs similar to Tibetans. The walk leads to visiting Gurung villages and encountering many farm fields and terraces of interesting traditional life of the local villagers.

  • Gurung tribes are high hills people of Nepal’s Far Mid-West Himalaya spread out throughout Nepal, where most concentrated within the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri area of both Hindu and Buddhist religion and origin, these hill tribes are famous as legendary Gurkha soldiers in foreign legion and army like British, India as well some as a police force in Singapore and security guards in many parts of the world overseas. Besides men-folk as famous Gurkha soldiers the hill people are mostly farmers and cattle herders as traditional profession.

  • Absolutely the best months of the year and seasons for botany students, and flower and nature lovers, where hills and valleys are alive with wildflowers in full bloom with riots of different colours, rhododendron from tall trees to short bushes will be in flowering times, rhododendron national flower of Nepal also.
