TESTIMONIALS

This trip was an absolute dream. Every day brought a new thrill, from the heart-pounding rush of rafting on the Trishuli River to the breathtaking sunrise at Sarangkot. The bungee jump in Kushma was pure adrenaline—I’ll never forget that feeling. Nepal’s landscapes, combined with the nonstop adventure, make this a must-do. Thank you Nepal Vision Team for this trip.100

If you like adventure, this trip is truly the ultimate experience! The sheer excitement of rafting and the exhilarating bungee jumping had my heart racing nonstop. Yet, there were these lovely moments of calm, especially when I watched the sunrise painting the mountains. This perfect mix of adrenaline and breathtaking beauty created an unforgettable escape.100

Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa for entry into Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Let us get a comprehensive guide to the most popular adventure activities in Nepal:<\/span><\/p><h3>White-Water Rafting<\/span><\/h3>Whitewater rafting in Nepal is a thrilling adventure, thanks to the rich history of the country's flowing rivers, which are fed by glacial melt from the towering Himalayas. These rivers provide a diverse range of rafting experiences, from calm and scenic flows to adrenaline-pumping rapids. Besides, the combination of exhilarating challenges and breathtaking landscapes makes them one of the best destinations for rafting enthusiasts. <\/span><\/p>The Bhote Kosi River offers intense rapids (Class IV-V) that are perfect for adrenaline junkies.

Just a day is not enough to wander through the lively markets and streets of Pokhara. As you make your way through, you stumble upon the famous highlights of the place, standing out in its name as the \"Gateway to the Himalayas,\" combining tranquillity with adventure.<\/span><\/p>Start your exploration with a serene boat ride on Phewa Lake, where the reflections of the Annapurna range create a breathtaking scene.

As the temple is accessible only by boat, you can expect a leisurely paddle to reach the spiritual landmark for both locals and visitors.<\/span><\/p>A short hike or drive leads to the World Peace Pagoda, a Buddhist stupa perched on a hilltop.

Despite being such an exhilarating activity with the support of certified professionals with top-notch safety standards, it\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for adventure lovers.<\/span><\/p><h3>Jungle Safari and Wildlife Exploration in Chitwan<\/span><\/h3>Finally, a detour to exotic Chitwan to explore the natural gems of Chitwan National Park and the cultural heritage of the Tharu community is something you won\u2019t want to miss. Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to endangered species like the One-Horned Rhinoceros<\/strong>, Royal Bengal Tiger<\/strong>, Asian Elephant<\/strong>, Gaur (Indian Bison)<\/strong>, Sloth Bear<\/strong>, Four-Horned Antelope<\/strong>, Wild Dogs<\/strong>, Porcupines<\/strong>, Otters<\/strong>, and Pygmy Shrew<\/strong>.

So, how about we dive right into the required information for the journey to Nepal? <\/span><\/p><h3>Best time to go on an adventure trip in Nepal<\/span><\/h3>To have the best time on your adventure trip to Nepal, you must embark on the ideal season. Every season brings out the beauty of natural and cultural heritage. But summer and winter pose challenges. Some challenges, such as extreme temperatures, unpredictable weather, and trail conditions, can be more demanding for adventurers. Spring and autumn are the best times to explore natural heritages for different reasons. <\/span><\/p><h3>Spring <\/span><\/h3>As the greenery of nature comes, showcasing the beauty with comfortable weather, clear visibility is the characteristic of the spring season. The long days with mild weather are the best time to explore and participate in outdoor activities. Aside from that, the magical charm of the majestic white peaks striking the crisp sunlight and the valleys come alive with the songs of birds and the hum of nature.<\/span><\/p>Besides, spring is the time to celebrate festivals like Holi, Ghode Jatra, and Lhosar, which adds cultural richness to the adventure.<\/span><\/p>But at the end of the springtime, you face the monsoon season, so you have to be ready for the weather change.<\/span><\/p><h3>Autumn <\/span><\/h3>Similar to spring, the vibrant atmosphere as we bid off the heavy monsoon season has cleansed the air, leaving the mountains and valleys looking pristine and rejuvenated in the autumn season. The clear, visible, lively weather and vibrant cultural events make the time stand out for adventure trips in Nepal.<\/span><\/p>Cool nights and sunny days are the favored times for outdoor activities. Likewise, the time is known to welcome the most significant festivals of Nepal, like Dashain and Tihar, which bring an atmosphere of celebration with traditional rituals, music, and dance.<\/span><\/p>Although the time is the peak season, you might have to face overcrowding. Due to this, you should book the adventure trip early or late in the season. <\/span><\/p><h3>Gear and Equipment <\/span><\/h3><div class=\"raw-html-embed\"><style>\r\n\t\/* info (hed, dek, source, credit) *\/\r\n.rg-container {\r\n font-family: 'Lato', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\r\n font-size: 16px;\r\n line-height: 1.4;\r\n margin: 0;\r\n padding: 1em 0.5em;\r\n color: #222;\r\n}\r\n.rg-header {\r\n margin-bottom: 1em;\r\n text-align: left;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rg-header > * {\r\n display: block;\r\n}\r\n.rg-hed {\r\n font-weight: bold;\r\n font-size: 1.4em;\r\n}\r\n.rg-dek {\r\n font-size: 1em;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rg-source {\r\n margin: 0;\r\n font-size: 0.75em;\r\n text-align: right;\r\n}\r\n.rg-source .pre-colon {\r\n text-transform: uppercase;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rg-source .post-colon {\r\n font-weight: bold;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* table *\/\r\ntable.rg-table {\r\n width: 100%;\r\n margin-bottom: 0.5em;\r\n font-size: 1em;\r\n border-collapse: collapse;\r\n border-spacing: 0;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table tr {\r\n -moz-box-sizing: border-box;\r\n box-sizing: border-box;\r\n margin: 0;\r\n padding: 0;\r\n border: 0;\r\n font-size: 100%;\r\n font: inherit;\r\n vertical-align: baseline;\r\n text-align: left;\r\n color: #333;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table thead {\r\n border-bottom: 3px solid #ddd;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table tr {\r\n border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\r\n color: #222;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table tr.highlight {\r\n background-color: #dcf1f0 !important;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table.zebra tr:nth-child(even) {\r\n background-color: #f6f6f6;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table th {\r\n font-weight: bold;\r\n padding: 0.35em;\r\n font-size: 0.9em;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table td {\r\n padding: 0.35em;\r\n font-size: 0.9em;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table .highlight td {\r\n font-weight: bold;\r\n}\r\ntable.rg-table th.number,\r\ntd.number {\r\n text-align: right;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* media queries *\/\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {\r\n .rg-container {\r\n max-width: 600px;\r\n margin: 0 auto;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table {\r\n width: 100%;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tr.hide-mobile,\r\n table.rg-table th.hide-mobile,\r\n table.rg-table td.hide-mobile {\r\n display: none;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table thead {\r\n display: none;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tbody {\r\n width: 100%;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tr,\r\n table.rg-table th,\r\n table.rg-table td {\r\n display: block;\r\n padding: 0;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tr {\r\n border-bottom: none;\r\n margin: 0 0 1em 0;\r\n padding: 0.5em;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tr.highlight {\r\n background-color: inherit !important;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table.zebra tr:nth-child(even) {\r\n background-color: transparent;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table.zebra td:nth-child(even) {\r\n background-color: #f6f6f6;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table tr:nth-child(even) {\r\n background-color: transparent;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table td {\r\n padding: 0.5em 0 0.25em 0;\r\n border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;\r\n text-align: right;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table td[data-title]:before {\r\n content: attr(data-title);\r\n font-weight: bold;\r\n display: inline-block;\r\n content: attr(data-title);\r\n float: left;\r\n margin-right: 0.5em;\r\n font-size: 0.95em;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table td:last-child {\r\n padding-right: 0;\r\n border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table td:empty {\r\n display: none;\r\n }\r\n table.rg-table .highlight td {\r\n background-color: inherit;\r\n font-weight: normal;\r\n }\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"rg-container\">\r\n\t<table class=\"rg-table\" summary=\"Hed\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<thead>\r\n\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t<th class=\"text \">Category<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t\t<th class=\"text \">Items<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<\/thead>\r\n\t\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"text \" data-title=\"Category\">Clothing<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<td class=\"text \" data-title=\"Items\">Base layers: shirts, leggings, underwear;

The trekking peaks or climbing peaks, whatever you please call them, offer mountaineering challenges of varying degrees.<\/p>The increasing popularity of the trekking peaks in Nepal is down to the fact that visitors not only get to trek some of the world's popular trails but also experience the thrills of mountaineering. Nepal opened its peaks for mountaineers worldwide in 1949. Ever since it continues to ignite the imagination of mountaineering and climbing enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>Although there are many climbing peaks in Nepal, some are evidently more popular than others. Some of the most popular trekking peaks are Island Peak, Mera Peak, Lobuche, Kyajo Ri, Nayakanga, Pisang Peak, Singuchuli Peak, and Tharpu Chuli. Depending upon the amount of time and climbing experience you have, you can choose a peak that best suits you.<\/p>Nepal Vision Treks & Expedition has an impressive record of organizing successful climbing and mountaineering expeditions. In that we have worked in the business for the last 30 years, we have accumulated invaluable know-how when it comes to organizing expeditions. Above all, our team of highly knowledgeable and experienced trekking and climbing guides has what it takes to help you make the most of your time and effort.<\/p>","status":1,"image":"upload\/6777a98eb6ba21735895438.webp","meta_title":"Best Destinations to Visit in Nepal | Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keyword":"Visit Nepal , mountaineering","meta_description":"Visit the beautiful destinations in Nepal, the home of the Himalayas, culture, and natural beauties.","created_at":"2016-09-17T04:02:24.000000Z","updated_at":"2025-01-03T15:10:40.000000Z","url":"nepal","order":0,"cover_image":null,"packages":[{"id":1,"name":"Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 15 Days","outline_itinerary":"<h3>Itinerary Outline:<\/strong><\/h3>1st Day: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,300m\/4,264 ft)     2nd Day: Sightseeing tour around the Kathmandu Valley and preparation for the trek 3rd Day: Drive to Pokhara (823m\/2,700ft) 5-6 hrs drive     4th Day: Trek to Tikhedhunga (1,577m\/5,173 ft) 1 hrs drive and 4 hrs walk     5th Day: Trek to Ghorepani (2,850m\/9,350ft) 5-6 hrs walk     6th Day: Early morning view from Poon Hill (3,210m\/10,530ft) <\/span>and Trek to Tadapani (2,710m\/8,891ft) 6-7 hrs walk  7th Day: Trek to Chhomrong (2,170m\/7,120 ft) 5-6 hrs walk     8th Day: Trek to Dovan (2,600m\/8,528 ft) 6-7 hrs walk     9th Day: Trek to Machhapuchre Base Camp (3,700m\/12,139ft) 4-5 hrs walk     10th Day: Trek to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m\/13,550ft) 3 hrs walk     11th Day: Trek to Bamboo (2,300m\/7,544 ft) 5-6 hrs walk     12th Day: Trek to Jhinu Danda (1,780m\/5,859 ft) 5-6 hrs walk     13th Day: Trek to Pokhara (823m\/2,700ft) 6-7 hrs walk & 2 hrs drive     14th Day: Drive back to Kathmandu (1,300m\/4,264 ft) 5-6 hrs drive     15th Day: Departure back  End of our services<\/p>","detailed_itinerary":null,"useful_info":"<h2>Useful Information for the package:<\/h2>Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa for entry into Nepal (except Indian nationals).

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip.

The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes.

The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is travel insurance, one of the mighty saviours, that covers loss and theft, medical and hospitalisation, evacuation from high altitudes, and adventure activity coverage. But there is a wide variety of travel insurance policies available. You must have a keen eye to get the best possible deals.<\/span><\/p>Look closely at the fine print to ensure you get the proper coverage.

It is wonderful along the trails of the appealing landscape and charming natural heritage. To preserve the local environment, the government of Nepal has allocated a certain amount of fees for permits to walk in the Everest region. <\/span><\/p>Nepal Vision Trek has made the package feasible by including the permit fee. The guide will obtain the license on your behalf after you have gathered all the required documents, such as your passport. There are two different types of trekking permits, such as<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit - The permit cost NPR 3000 per person. It should be paid in person in Lukla, as the permit is not available in Kathmandu.<\/span><\/li><li>Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit\u2014The permit can be obtained in Kathmandu at the Nepal Tourism Board Office or from Monjo at the Sagarmatha Park Entrance Gate. It costs NPR 3000 per person.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4>Is Everest Base Camp Trek Right for You?<\/span><\/h4>Everest Base Camp is one of the captivating journeys that winds through the scenic Everest region. But to have a successful journey, it requires a lot of careful planning and preparation. To create an effective plan, there are several factors that every trekker should understand. Let's take a close look at all these factors to make a detailed and careful preparation. <\/span><\/p><h4>Trek Difficulty<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>During the Everest Base Camp Trek, major concerns are the difficulty of the Trek. The good news is that, despite Everest being the world's highest peak, the trails to the trek are relatively straightforward.<\/span><\/p>Regardless, the trail is non-technical and summits mountains; it is more than just walking in the park. But as long as you have good physical fitness, it's a plus. <\/span><\/p>The major challenge on the Everest trail is walking 6-7 hours along rugged, high-altitude terrain that covers 15 km. The major challenge is the altitude coverage of over 4,000 m, which can cause altitude sickness. It is a situation with typical symptoms, such as shortness of breath and vomiting. If the problem gets worse, conditions like HACE and HAPE can become life-threatening. <\/span><\/p>Nepal Vision Treks guides have first aid training, so they can help you administer basic medication, such as Diamox, to alleviate the condition. Acclimatisation is the best way to prevent this. Likewise, maintain your pace, be well-equipped, and stay hydrated. <\/span><\/p><h3>Best Time to Trek<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>The different seasons make the trail even more beautiful. But spring and autumn are the best times to go on the Everest Base Camp Trek. Since the summer season welcomes the monsoon season, it makes it harder to go on the trek. At the same time, the harsh winter weather conditions cannot be ignored. <\/span><\/p><h4>Spring <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>As you bid a warm farewell to the cold, breezy weather, welcome the greenery of nature. The birds were chirping, the pink, red, and white rhododendrons were blooming, and fauna were wandering in the beauty of nature. The trail conditions are good, the weather is comfortable, and long days make for the best time. <\/span><\/p>Aside from the weather, the timing is perfect for trekkers to experience the Sherpa community's festivals. Dumje falls this time as it celebrates the birth of Guru Rinpoche, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He was believed to have been born on a lotus flower.<\/span><\/p>Since it's peak season, it's better to book the trek in advance. At this time, there is a possibility of many bushfires that can accumulate smoke, causing low visibility. Moreover, at the end of the season, the monsoon season arrives, so there is an expectation of heavy rainfall. Trekkers must understand the weather beforehand to prepare accordingly. <\/span><\/p><h4>Autumn <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>The heavy rainfall washes off, and a fresh environment makes its way to the autumn season. The fresh breeze, vibrant atmosphere, and comfortable weather are the features of autumn. The appealing environment and the better trail conditions are perfect for trekkers. The experienced guides at Nepal Vision Treks say that autumn is the best time to trek, thanks to the beauty of nature, diverse flora, and fauna. <\/span><\/p>Interestingly, there are different festivals, like Kumje and Gyalpo Lhosar. Kumje celebrates autumn harvests with feasting and music, while Gyalpo Losar marks the Tibetan New Year with gift exchanges, traditional foods, and lively dances.<\/span><\/p>Autumn seems to have a high number of trekkers, so it's better to book the trek early or late in the season to avoid the crowds. <\/span><\/p><h3>Food & Accommodation Options<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>The trails take you to remote areas, so the accommodation choices are the local tea houses. But in Namche, there is a range of hotels, from small to five-star, where you can stay and enjoy warm food. <\/span><\/p>The tea houses have private rooms and shared bathrooms. The lower elevations have fully equipped tea houses with electricity, Wi-Fi, hot showers, and Western toilets, but the upper elevations have more rustic and basic tea houses.<\/span><\/p>Remember that there is a small fee for services like Wi-Fi and hot showers. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>In general, your whole-day meal will be like this for breakfast: you can have chapati bread or Tibetan bread with curry alongside porridge, muesli, or pancakes. The good news is that there are options for vegans and vegetarians. <\/span><\/p>However, anyone with dietary restrictions should inform the guide, who will communicate with the kitchen staff.

It is recommended to start training at least 3-6 months in advance. First, start taking the stairs and long walks. Later, focus on incorporating cardiovascular and strength training into your workout to improve endurance and stamina.<\/span><\/p><h4>Prepare Gear & Equipment<\/span><\/h4>Plan to pack the proper gear for a comfortable trek to Everest Base Camp. Invest in high-quality gear and pack wisely. If you want a budget-friendly option, rent the gear from Thamel, as the prices range from less than a dollar a day.<\/span><\/p><h4>Inhale With your Nose, Exhale with your Mouth<\/span><\/h4>Breathing techniques are great for making your trekking experience unforgettable at high altitudes. Practice inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. The method is perfect for regulating breathing and maintaining a steady oxygen flow.<\/span><\/p><h4>Observe the Mountains & Sherpa Culture<\/span><\/h4>Take time to appreciate the stunning landscapes and culture along the EBC trail. At the same time, the cheering white peaks will give a warm smile. At the same time, the friendly Sherpa people share their culture and customs, offering valuable insights into their way of life and traditions.<\/span><\/p><h4>Don\u2019t Eat Junk Food<\/span><\/h4>Try to eat a healthy diet during your trek. Avoid junk food, as it can cause energy crashes or digestive issues. Instead, focus on a balanced diet meal for muscle repair, and plenty of fruits and vegetables for vitamins.  <\/span><\/p><h4>Pack Light<\/span><\/h4>Pack light during your journey and aim to carry only the essentials in your backpack. Consider using lightweight gear and cloth specifically for trekking. A good rule of thumb is to keep your pack weight under 10-15% of your body weight for a more comfortable trail experience.<\/span><\/p><h4>Stay Hydrated<\/span><\/h4>Staying hydrated is vital during the trek as high altitudes can lead to dehydration more quickly than at sea level. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day and carry a reusable water bottle. Besides, use water purification tablets when refilling from natural sources along the trail.<\/span><\/p>","page_title":"Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days | Itinerary & Cost | Nepal Vision Treks","meta_author":"Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keywords":"Everest base camp trek 14 days","meta_description":"The 14-day Everest Base Camp trek will take you to a height of nearly 5,364 meters.

Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":3950,"destination_id":"8","category_destination_id":12,"status":1,"duration":"3-4 Hours","max_altitude":"5,320m\/17,450ft Base Camp","url":"everest-base-camp-helicopter-tour","difficulty":null,"activity":"Helicopter Tour","route_detail":null,"best_month":"Mar to May & Sep to Dec","room":null,"transport":"Helicopter","operation":null,"meals":"Breakfast Basis","group_size":"minimum 2 person required","overview":"Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour <\/strong>is a one-day trip that will take you to the base camp of the world's highest mountain.

Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":325,"destination_id":"8","category_destination_id":7,"status":1,"duration":"3 Days","max_altitude":"400m\/1300ft at chitwan","url":"chitwan-national-park-wildlife-tour","difficulty":null,"activity":"Jungle Safari","route_detail":"Kathmandu-Chitwan-Kathmandu","best_month":"February-May & September-December","room":"Resort Accommodation","transport":"Private Vehicle","operation":"Willdlif Safari in Chitwan National Park","meals":"Full board meals in Resort","group_size":"1+","overview":"Chitwan National Park Wildlife Tour<\/strong> is a tour to explore the nature and wildlife of Nepal. <\/strong>Chitwan National Park is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes.

The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately.

Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column.

In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider anti-altitude medication (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider anti-vomiting medication for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

From the top, it is almost downhill for two hours till we reach Num. We will have our shelter for the day at our camp at Num, which is a small village with about fifteen houses and a primary school on the large flat ground. We will have a good view of our route for the next couple of days from the village.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 07: Trek to Seduwa (1,493m\/4,897ft), 5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">We will descend incredibly steep and terraced slopes towards the Arun River, nearly 800 meters below. The lower slopes of this narrow valley are densely forested and the paths are quite slippery. We will cross the suspension bridge across the torrential Arun River after reaching the bottom. We will again climb back out of the rain forest, reaching our lunch place at Runruma. We will further take a steep climb that will take us up to Seduwa, a village with a small health post and a primary school nearby.  We will be camping in Seduwa for the night.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 08: Trek to Tashi Gaun (2,200m\/7,216ft), 3-4 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">We will have an easy and pleasant short walk that will take you to some rural farm villages, on the gradual trail through the farm fields and terraces.  As we will approach the Tashi Gaon, it's an uphill climb for an hour through the millet and rice fields.

After leaving the dense forest, we come nearer to summer pastures with traces of temporarily made shepherd huts. From here onwards, till we reach the Kahuma ridge, it will be a strenuous uphill climb, as the tree lines decline for the bushes of rhododendron and juniper. We'll stay here for the night. The place offers a great view of scenic mountain ranges.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 10: Trek to Mumbuk (3,400m\/11,152ft) 5-6 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">After the superb mountain view and the surrounding landscapes, our trek will follow a gradual trail with a few ups and down as we pass through the Thulo Pokhari (big pond) and Sano Pokhari (small pond). The path from here can be quite misleading if there is heavy snow. It will be arduous to find the trail sometime and further walking across the pass of Tutu-la(4,075m) might be risky to walk during the heavy snowfall. We will move with our journey downhill back to vegetation, a small clearing place for camping in the middle of the woods of pines, hemlock, birch, and rhododendrons to reach Mumbuk. Overnight.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 11: Trek to Nehe Kharka (3,750m\/12,300ft) 6-7 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our camp will be settled in the shade of the tree. The view of the Kumbakarna can be seen through the vegetation of the tree lines and the walk from here will be downhill to the enclosed and concealed Barun Valley. Barun Valley is one of the least explored areas in the eastern Himalayan region of Nepal. These unique landscapes within the Makalu-Barun National Park are home to some 3,000 species of flowering plants, 440 bird species, and 75 species of mammals, including the, endangers clouded leopard, red panda, and musk deer. As we reach the lush alpine area of Barun Valley, the walk will be much more pleasant with gradual uphill slopes, following the Barun River upstream on the valley gorge towards our camp at Nehe-Kharka, one of the summer pastures for the local folks of Tashi and Navagaun.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 12: Trek to Sherson (4,600m\/15,088ft) 6-7 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our trek will move onward crossing the wooden bridge on the Barun River. We will be walking on the boulders, where there is a large prayer wall at Ramara. We reach there after a 2-3 hour walk. You will notice that the vegetation gets sparse, although the rhododendron, barberries, cotoneaster, and juniper bushes persist for some time. With a pleasant walk, we will come nearer to Sherson in sight of the lower Barun glacier and the towering majestic Mt. Makalu. Sherson is also the lower base camp of Mt. Makalu. There is a number of stone enclosures at this high grazing ground with an outstanding view of a host of peaks, including the upper part of Makalu's south face, and Mt. Baruntse(7,220m). We will make the camp for the night at Sherson.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 13: Acclimatization day<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">You will have a full day's rest at the camp or for acclimatization. You can visit some interesting hikes and viewpoints to explore. You can also go on the most scenic walk on the right side of the camp above for a closer view of Mt. Makalu, Barun Pokhari, and the view of the rare face of Everest (the Kanshung face with Lhotse). A one-hour steep up will bring you to the large meadow.  You can also walk farther up to have a greater view of the mentioned peaks and more other peaks of this area and beyond. After exploring the area, we will stroll back to the camp.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 14: Trek to Barun-tse Base Camp (4,800m\/15,744ft), 2-3 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">From Sherson, we will continue our walk to a more isolated area towards the higher base camp, which is less than a three-hour trek above Sherson, at the snout of the Barun glacier, near its glacial pond. On arriving at the camp, you are free for a short hike above this camp. You can take a climb on the moraine ridge, for more spectacular views of Mt.Makalu. The place also offers a sight of the usual hidden east sides of Lhotse and Everest, which looms above the Barun glacier to the North West. We will spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure, preparing for the next big adventure. Some of the porters will set off back with equipment that we do not need to take with us making the load as light as possible to overcome the traverse over Sherpani Col and beyond.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 15: Trek to High Camp (5,200m\/17,056ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our journey from the base camp will head westwards to camp just below Makalu's west pillar, as the altitude gains slowly. We will take our time with enough breaks in this high terrain.  Our walk will follow a path that climbs an ablation valley on the west side of the Barun glacier. Following this valley onto the glacier, we will make our way over the boulder-strewn caves and ice to a camp known as Puja Camp which is located just below the towering Mt. Makalau's West Pillar. Our strenuous trek on the glacier will be rewarded with unique views of Lhotse and the rare Kangshung face of Everest. Overnight camp on the clearing of the moraine.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 16: Camp at (5,700m\/18696ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">We will be leaving our camp taking the path that follows a steep climb up the rocky slopes of the Barun's west bank until a line of cairns leads us into the valley where two small glaciers are fed by the slopes of the Sherpani Col.

Leaving the camp before dawn, we will climb on the icy snout of the Sherpani Glacier. The three separate Cols will give access to the Cirque. We will choose the most appropriate of these routes, according to the prevailing conditions. Then, our climb will follow on steep snow-covered slopes, with the backup of the fixed ropes which we had set up on the previous day. From the Col, we will rope up to cross the glacier to the rocky crest of the West Col. This stunning cirque is framed by the sweep of Baruntse's icy ridges to the north, the vast cliffs of Makalu, the wall of Chamlang to the south and the shapely spire of Ama Dablam ahead of us to the west. We will be having our packed lunch at the world's highest picnic spots. In the meantime, our guides will scout the safe route down the West Col. After a break, a descent from the Col on fixed lines will lead us to the Hongu Glacier. We will end our long hard day with a gradual walk over snow slopes down to our camp on the moraine.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 19: Trek to Panch Pokhari (5,480m\/17,975ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our journey will lead us to our next adventure over the Amphu Laptsa before we head towards the main busy trail of Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and Thyangboche. The walk will follow across the wide reaches of the upper Hongu Basin towards Kang Leyamura a 6,430 m peak to the west. Following the rocky glacier in the beginning, then towards old and more recent moraine deposits, we will eventually reach the beautiful Panch Pokhari meaning \u00e2\u0080\u0098five ponds\u00e2\u0080\u0099, We will make our camp near to the largest pond at the foot of our final pass Amphu Labtsa (5,780m).<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 20: Trek to Amphu Labtsa Base Camp<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">We will start our trek after breakfast at the Amphu Labtsa Base Camp.

We will have an early start from the camp for 2-3 hours treks that lead us to the top of the pass and overlooking stunning views of the impressive south face of Lhotse and Lhotse Shar. You can also get an amazing view of the summit of Island or Imajatse Peaks which looks as if it could almost be even lower than our vantage point. As soon as the kitchen staffs and porters arrive at the pass, they will be lowered 150 meters to the relatively less steep ground below the pass. Similarly, loads have to be carefully lowered.  After checking every member in the group, we will slowly and carefully descend with the help of ropes and an ice axe if required. We will stop after reaching the safe side from the pass. By the early afternoon, everybody should be off the snow. Once in the safe ground away from the snow and ice area, an hour or more walk will take us to the ablation valley by the side of the Imja Glacier.  The walk will be more or less easier most of the way to the trekker's civilization at Chhukung, a temporary settlement with few teahouses and lodges.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus.

But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

On day 15, we will arrive at base camp early. You can spend the day preparing our climbing supplies for the ascent.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Day 16-40: Climbing the north-west face of Cho Oyu<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>We will undertake our first, hesitant trip and exploration of the mountain's base on the first day. To acquire a clear view of the path and the mountain's conditions, the goal will be to ascend as high as possible. We will not carry anything, and our evening plans include a trip back to base camp. We will ascend higher up the mountain as our fitness and acclimatization will be improved with the goal of arriving. We will be spending the night at both Camp 1 and Camp 2. We will prepare well for the last leg of the climb, thanks to this. The Sherpas will finish setting up the high camp at 7,400 meters before the summit bids, which will come after a decent period of rest at base camp. All climbers should return to base camp on day 40 once the mountain has been emptied of its gear. Everyone will need to pitch in during base camp cleanup to make sure we leave no traces of our passing. We will depart from base camp ahead of schedule if we are successful in ascending the summit early. As soon as everyone has completed a determined summit climb, we will return to Kathmandu. All past experience has shown that we won't need all of the days given unless the mountain conditions are really good and everyone acclimatizes exceptionally well.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p>Day 41: Return trek to road-head<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Yaks will carry our gear as we make the return hike to the trailhead.

We will intend to drive to Kerung and spend the night on the first day.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p>Day 43: Drive from Kerung to Kathmandu  <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Your Tibetan guide and driver will bid you goodbye. You will walk across the river to meet a Nepalese escort before continuing the journey to Kathmandu. This morning, a short drive from Kerung will take you to the Friendship Bridge across the Bhote Koshi River, which will bring you closer to immigration control. You will arrive in Kathmandu after a 6- to 7-hour drive. Spend the remainder of the time relaxing at the hotel.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p>Day 44: Leisure at Kathmandu<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>On this beautiful day, you can spend the entire day at your leisure on your own. You can also choose to extend your extra excursion with us for an additional fee or use the opportunity to explore Thamel for your final day of shopping before the group meets you for the farewell supper.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Day 45: Departure from Kathmandu<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>You will have a day free to do any last-minute souvenir or gift purchasing for family, friends, or relatives before your departure flight or drive.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days before arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 daysbeforeo your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

(6,400m)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>Camp 1 is located in a level location covered in infinite snow, steep crevasses, and mountainsides. The place has a pleasant sun reflection which allows us to be warm and feel the atmosphere of the place during the time we are camped here. We will listen to the deep cracking murmurs of crevasses beneath our tent at night. We will traverse these places on foot to reach our further destination, Camp 2.<\/span><\/span><\/p>Camp 2: 21000ft. (6,750m)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Camp 2 is situated at a height of 21,000 feet, at the base of the snowy Mount Lhotse wall. We will proceed through the wall. Although the weather might be pleasant right, dark clouds might be rolling down to the base of camp two from the low range of the Himalayas, so we must be careful. The wind here is so strong, which makes us feel like it could blow the tents away. Upon ascending these palaces, we will arrive at Camp 3.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p><h4>Camp 3: 22300ft. (7,100m)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>Camp 3 is camped at an altitude of 22300 feet, situated next to Mount Lhotse's wall. We will reach camp 4 after ascending the 4,000-foot Lhotse wall using fixed rope and with adequate acclimatization. We must climb the steep permit bands on the way. The path on this way will be lost, down-slopping, and taking us through the rotten limestone. The route will continue up the Geneva Spur to the east after crossing a brief snowfield. The snowfield will finish on the flats of the south col. Oxygen should probably be utilized above Camp 3 in case the climbers will require it.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p><h4>Camp 4: 26000ft. (8,400m)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>The last camp of the Expedition is Camp 4. It is at an altitude of 26,000 feet which is just 500 meters away from the summit. This will be the last and most hazardous section of the climb. You will feel a fierce and violent wind blowing. The short South-East Ridge, just before the South Top (28,710 feet) will be the best route to take to go to the O summit. It will be simple to ascend to the Everest summit from here. This is the same route that was used by the late Tenzing Norge Sherpa in 1953.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p><h3 style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;\">Day 61:Trek from Base Camp to Thyanboche (3,867m\/12,684 ft)6-7 hrs walk<\/span><\/span><\/h3>We will be going back down to Tangboche after the fantastic climbs.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

There are some difficulties you will face during the expedition. Some of the basic difficulties you may face during this expedition are:<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Chances of altitude sickness due to the high altitude gain.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Unexpected weather plays a difficulty during your climb<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Difficult technical sessions<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>#@#What are the routes of the Mount Everest Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#The Everest Expedition routes start just like the Everest Base Camp trek routes in the famous Khumbu trekking region. Beginners can easily ascend the trekking routes.  From the Base Camp to Camp I is one of the most challenging climbing routes. The technical sections are not beginner-level. The route, however, slowly gets easier as you reach the top.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Is Everest Expedition a technical climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Yes, It is mostly a technical climb. It is a challenging climb from the base camp to the first camp which will require a lot of technical skills. The climb to the next camp will be comparatively little easier which will still require some technical skills.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Will we need oxygen cylinders during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#As the expedition takes you to an altitude of above 8000 meters, the oxygen gets thinner at a higher altitude. For this reason, you will require oxygen cylinders.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Is travel insurance necessary?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Yes, you must take travel insurance when you are traveling to high-altitude regions. If you are going mountaineering to peaks above 5000 meters, you must take your travel insurance and climbing insurance. Your travel insurance will pay for your rescue in case of emergencies.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#What are the essential gears and equipment for the Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#You will need proper gear and equipment for the Expedition. Climbing a portion of the trip is comparatively challenging and requires some professional skills or prior experience. So using the equipment and gears properly is a must. Basic climbing equipment like a pickaxe, carabiners, fixed rope, climbing boots, helmets, crampons, harness ice screws, etc is a must.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#What is the total expedition cost?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#The cost of the expedition depends on your preferences and expenses. The standard Mount Everest expedition will cost around USD 50,000 per person which will cover everything from your food to accommodation along with staff and transportation during your trip.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Do I need to buy all the climbing gear and equipment?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#If you want, you can buy climbing gear and equipment for personal use in the future. But if you choose not to buy the gear, you can always rent the gear and equipment from the company.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#Will I get altitude sickness during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#There is a high chance of altitude sickness during your Everest Climb. The altitude gain during the climb is fast. This might cause your body to get altitude sickness. You can take proper breaks during your climb to prevent altitude sickness. Also, during the climb, you must acclimatize after reaching each camp to avoid any altitude sickness. This will help prevent symptoms. But you should always carry some medicines to counter the symptoms just in case.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#How much do I tip the staff during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#The staff does expect you to tip them for their service. However, you should feel pressured. You should tip them 10 percent of their charge for their service.<\/span><\/span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#What are the accommodations during the climbing period?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>#@#The accommodations during the trekking part of the expedition are mostly in the tea houses and lodges. Once you get to the base camp of the peak, your accommodation will change into the tented camps.

However, if you want heli rescue in the state of flight cancellation to\/from Lukla-we can organize it as per your request with extra cost.<\/p>","detailed_itinerary":"<h2>Detailed Itinerary: <\/h2><h3>Day 01: Arrival day in Kathmandu (1,300m\/4,264 ft)<\/span><\/h3>Welcome to Nepal, a country in the Himalayas. Our representative will be waiting to greet you upon your arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport to help you with the transfer to your hotel in Kathmandu. After taking some time to re-energize, you will meet again in the evening. We will be transferred for a welcome dinner and short trip briefing at a traditional Nepalese restaurant in the Centre of Kathmandu. You will then spend the night at the hotel.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 02: Sightseeing tour in Kathmandu & trip preparation day<\/span><\/h3>We will have a final gear check in the morning. We'll then head off on a sightseeing excursion. You will be taken to the major sights of Kathmandu, including the Hindu temple Pashupatinath, the largest stupa in the world, Bouddhanath, and the monkey temple Swyambhunath Stupa. We will also visit the famous Kathmandu Durbar Square to explore its surrounding temples, distinctive buildings, and Kumari after touring the neighborhood (living goddess). In the evening, we'll have a pre-trip conversation and staff introductions for your adventure excursion.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 03: Magical Flight to Lukla (2800m\/9184ft) & commence trekking to Puiyan (2800m\/9184ft)<\/span><\/h3>We'll be driven to the airport for one of the magnificent Himalayan flights. We will get our first glimpses of Everest and the region we will be climbing if the sky is clear during our flight. The Twin Otter will fly us to Lukla, a hamlet perched on a slope, where our trip to Mera will begin. We will be able to meet our camp personnel and porters here before departing immediately for Puiyan, where we will set up our camp for the night.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 04: Trek to Pangkongma (2,850m\/9348ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>After eating breakfast, we will cross the Poyan Khola and take an ancient road that will ascend sharply to a ridgeline with a view of the Khare Khola. The older route will divert from the main trade route coming up from the south. Following a descent from the opposite slope, we will contour down a hillside before gently ascending to the charming agricultural and trading community of Pangkongma. The locals will welcome the expedition participants as they have been doing They have enjoyed several enjoyable hours warming up in front of an open fire in the engulfing and welcoming ambiance of the neighborhood's traditional Sherpa dwellings.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 05: Trek to Nashing Dingma (2600m\/8528ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will make the roughly 30-minute ascent to the Pangum La (3175m\/10410ft), which will serve as our gateway to the Hinku Valley. From here, we will begin to go east before turning north. Depending on the route we will pick, the day will involve a substantial fall of at least 900 meters to the Hinku River, followed by an ascent to our camp, which is high and situated close to the Surke La. Once more, the terrain will combine unspoiled upper temperate zone forests, including maple, rhododendron, and fir, and terraced slopes with grain crops.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 06: Trek to Chalem Kharka (3600m\/11808ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>After breakfast, we will ascend to the Source La (3085m\/10118ft) and then proceed to follow the Surkie Danda ridge northward towards Mera and the Hinku. We will set up camp along the way at a kharka. The following days will be spent away from teahouses and popular trekking routes, and they should be among the best Himalayan wilderness trekking of the entire journey.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 07: Trek to Chunbu Kharka (4200m\/13776ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>As we continue along the ridge, we will ascend steadily higher, passing over knolls (ridge lumps) that are 4000 meters to 4500 meters in height. The terrain will be grassy slopes, rocky outcrops, and cliffs that will lie well above the tree line, where raptors like eagles, lammergeiers, and griffon vultures may be seen soaring overhead. We will then make our way down to a tent located close to Panch Pokhari, a chain of five lakes next to the Chunbu Kharka River.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 08: Rest day at Chunbu Kharka<\/span><\/h3>We will take a rest day at Chubu Kharka to acclimatize to the increasing altitude. You can spend the complete day in leisure. You can also choose to stroll around the places as there is a great natural location to discover more about the Chunbu Kharka.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 09: Trek to Hinku valley camp (3600m\/11808ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>On the eastern side of the Hinku, our path will follow the contours of numerous ridges before descending into rhododendron forests. We will come across the destruction left behind by the 1998 bust of a natural dam at the top of the valley, close to the valley level. The valley has been decimated, leaving stones, dead trees, and silt in their place where once there were old-growth forests and meadows. On the now much higher bank of the rocky riverbed, our campsite will be located in a beautiful grassy area.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 10 & 11: Trek to Tagnag (4400m\/14432ft), 5-7 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will enter the actual Hinku Valley, cross over on a yak herder's bridge, and merge with the main route. The bustling village of Kote, which mostly caters to the trekking parties passing through for Mera, will be our first home. The trail will primarily follow the riverbank, which makes for a good trail among rounded stones and silt, due to the massive washout of boulders and other debris. We will get our first glimpses of the valley's majestic peaks, including Kusum Kanguru, which will be just in front of us to the left. The path will then ascends onto the fields on the left and wind through Tagnag on nice and simple pathways. We also get to see Mera for the first time on this day, first at the Sanu Drangka's confluence above Kote, where, with clear skies. We will also see the impressive south face, and then we will move to on our final approach into Tagnag. We will be getting ready to ascend each day.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 12: Trek to Khare (4,940m\/16203ft), 3-4 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will have a beautiful valley with views of the Hinku Nup glacier and the peaks beyond to the north. The towering spire of the unromantically named \"Peak 35,\" which has yet to be scaled, can be seen behind us. We will have the final ascent to our base camp at Khare which might be quite difficult. It will serve as a reminder that we will be ascending in elevation. We will ascend quickly and then arrive in plenty of time for lunch.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 13: Trek to Mera Base Camp (5000m\/16400ft), 3-4 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>A steady ascent will lead us to our last camp below the snowline after ascending through lateral moraine and grassy culverts out of the valley. Although the route itself will be quite simple, there are some real hazards, so everyone must use strong fundamental techniques and be cautious of changing weather conditions.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 14,15 & 16: Summit attempt on Mera (6,476m\/21,247ft), 5-9 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>If everything went according to plan over the next three days and the weather cooperated, we will ascend to rock and glaciate camp at approximately 5,400m\/17712ft, just off the Mera La saddle. Mountaineering boots made of plastic are typically worn from the beginning to the ascent and descent of the top. Despite their awkward appearance, they will be ideal for the job because they offer stability, warmth, and protection against unpredictable environment, which may include loose rocks, snow, and ice. A second camp will be located halfway up the mountain's steep north slope, at a height of roughly 5,700 meters, next to a granite knob. Although the distance will be shorter here, the path can be challenging in bad weather because you are at a higher altitude. The journey will be much tougher and further than it first appears. From this high camp, a summit bid will be made early in the morning (between 2 and 5 am), which will take us about 4 to 6 hours to reach the top. Although it may not seem like a long way, we can promise you that it will require a lot of effort. All your preparations and a good, sensible approach will pay off in this situation. Due to the risk of a crevasse along the route, it is typically essential to tie up for the majority of the summit approach. The path will change depending on the weather and time of year, but it often goes around a large shoulder in front of us to the mountain's backside before making a very simple approach to the summit peak.<\/span><\/p>As the sun rises<\/span>, <\/strong>we will be treated to the stunning vistas of Makalu (8,481m), Chamlang (7,319m), and Baruntse (7,129m) across Nau Lekh (6,360m). We get to witness <\/span>a number of unidentified peaks of the Hinku with Mt. Everest to our left. We can see miles down to the ground to the south. We will plan to reach the summit in the early to mid-morning and descend back to base camp. <\/span>The weather, the state of the route, and the members' health are a few of the variables that will affect the precise schedule. <\/strong><\/span>We will have a reasonable amount of flexibility to accomplish success for everyone who has worked hard and regularly since the expedition's start. We must thank our backup equipment, skilled crew, and time buffer for this. The day will be long, and at this point, all of your preparation, your approach to the journey, and your positive outlook will come together to give you the strength and confidence, you will need to work effectively in a team. We will have the best odds of reaching the peak.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 17 & 18: Commence trek into the Hunku Valley, a 5-7 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We'll need to get going quite early as the day will be quite long. We will start the expedition's most remote parts once our porters will be organized. The Honku Valley opens up before us, surrounded by five sizable glacier lakes. They go by the name Panch Pokhari (five lakes). The Hunku and Imja valleys are separated from one another by the Amphu Laptsa pass, which is located directly at the head of the valley to our right. We are in the Hunku appropriately on this day. The camp will be situated near the rocky ascent to the pass. We will also ask members to be cooperative and flexible during these times. We will set up the camps where the weather will permit us. Your leader will keep you updated on the daily schedule.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 19: Rest day at Amphu Laptsa base camp<\/span><\/h3>We have reserved a day for recuperation. We will take a rest day for the day which can be either a total leisure day or exploring the valley. You can also go for the last-minute gear inspections and preparations for our pass crossing of Amphu Laptsa.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 20 & 21: Cross Amphu Laptsa (5845m\/19171ft) to Island Peak Base Camp (5100m\/16728ft), 8-9 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will have an early breakfast followed by an ascent to our pass crossing. Again, it will take us extra time to ferry across all of our stuff with the help of the entire party, crew, porters, and members. The Hunku's approach to the pass will be deceiving. There is significantly more sun and less snow on the east and south sides, with only a group of rocks gradually escalating to the gap we walk through. In order to reach the snow basins below, the succeeding moraine, and the alpine valley beyond, we must carefully descend the steep snow slopes on the north-facing side using fixed ropes. The unmatched vistas of the peaks of Khumbu will be clearly seen from this pass crossing. One may have some free time to take in the spectacular view of the surrounding peaks while we will be ascending or descend the trails.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 22: Summit Island Peak (6,189m\/20,305ft), 8-9 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will begin the trek in the mountains and climb rapidly up the southeast face's lower sides. This is a well-known summit, hence the tune will be frequently used. The rocky spur will lead us to a snow ramp that will climb to the upper snowfields after a little amount of occasionally required rock scrambling. As we will ascend higher, the peaks of Makalu and Lhotse will become visible. Fixing ropes will be required to climb a short yet steep ice face that will climb to the summit ridge after crossing the upper nave. We will set ropes here as well. We will climb up the summit ridge, a traditional alpine ridge that will be rather exposed. We will get a great view of all the peaks south of the majestic Lhotse face, although being dwarfed by the seven and eight-thousanders that surround it. After some thrilling moments on the summit, we will return to our starting point by taking the same way down.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 23, 24 & 25: Trek to Lukla, 4-7 hrs walk<\/span><\/h3>We will start our return trip by descending past Namche Bazaar and Tangboche Monastery in the renowned Khumbu Valley. Namche, often known as the Sherpa capital, is a wonderful destination to explore, stop by the Tibetan vendors, or take pleasure in the Swiss bakeries. We will leave Namche's mountains and descend to the Dudh-Kosi, where we will also join the main trail that will lead us through many villages along the river to Phakding. We will walk a short distance up and around the large, flat spur on which Lukla is located after crossing the bridge. The final night is usually special because the crew and porters will join together for a farewell celebration.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 26: Fly to Kathmandu<\/span><\/h3>Our guide will transport you to your accommodation in Kathmandu after your early-morning flight there. After a lengthy journey, you might need some time to unwind, catch your breath, and recover at your hotel. You can spend the rest of the day at leisure sleeping, relaxing, or exploring and shopping in the town.<\/span><\/p><h3>Day 27: Departure from Kathmandu<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>You will have some time for any last-minute souvenir or gift purchasing for family, friends, or relatives before your departure flight or drive. You can also plan to start any further adventures or activities you may have planned with us. You will be transferred to the international airport if you are departing in order to catch a flight to another location.<\/span><\/p>We wish you a wonderful Himalayan adventure with us!<\/p>","useful_info":"<h2>Useful Information for the package:<\/h2>Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa for entry into Nepal (except Indian nationals).

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend two nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/strong><\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

A rafting trip on the Trishuli will quench the white water desire of travelers with limited time in Nepal. The river meanders its way through scenic gorges and impressive valleys on its way to the plains. This trip leaves plenty of time to chill out, play rafting games, do some cliff jumps, swim, and soak up the surreal atmosphere of Nepal\u00e2\u0080\u0099s river life. The rafting conveniently ends at the riverside camp. You can also choose to extend your trip and enjoy a night at our million-star beach camp and soak up as much river life. Get off the bus and on the river! How do we embark on this trip? <\/strong> We will organize transport from your hotel to the drifting adventure of Charaudi. This is the place to raft on the river, about 2:30 hours from Kathmandu. After drift preparation, orientation, and safety information, we will start a three-hour rafting adventure on the Trishuli River. Our rafting trip will end around 3 p.m. in Kurintar. After hot lunch, we will drive back to Kathmandu. After a day of rafting on the Trishuli River, you can also choose to drive to Pokhara or Chitwan. What do we provide?<\/strong> As part of Trisuli Rafting, along with our high-quality self-bailing rafts, we will provide helmets, plastic paddles, wetsuits, lifejackets, and a first aid kit. We will provide plentiful, healthy, and hygienically prepared food and drinks. If you want to stay overnight, we have AC rooms or Tents available as well. Sleeping bags can be supplied upon request. All our equipment is of the highest quality, clean, and well-maintained. What to bring?<\/strong> Please bring with you your shorts and a T-shirt or swimwear for the river adventure, suitable footwear for wearing in the raft, warm clothing for the evenings, a towel, sunblock, and your camera. A flashlight is also useful. TRIP DATES<\/strong> DAILY DEPARTURES ALL YEAR ROUND<\/strong> To join a rafting trip on the Trishuli River, you don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t need any previous experience. The trip is also great for first-timer and families. Actually, this trip is one of our all-time favorite trips. Kayaking: <\/strong> This river is also ideal for the first-time kayaker wanting to learn a thing or two about whitewater. Though it should be noted in the monsoon it's definitely not a river for the faint of heart or less skilled. You can also try the Canyoning and Rafting trip if you are further interested. The trip is ideal to choose day rafting and day cannoning at once which will be then followed by the overnight stay at the riverside beach.  <\/p>","offer":null,"include_exclude":"<h2>Trip Cost Includes:<\/h2> <span class=\"cqiun4t2 khvhiq1o r5qsrrlp i5tg98hk iqx13udk przvwfww qiohso4h gfz4du6o r7fjleex nz2484kf svot0ezm dcnh1tix sxl192xd t3g6t33p \" style=\"background-image:url("\/img\/2617e32ba41ae37a81350005624747b8_a_157-40.png");\">\u2705 <\/span>All government and local taxes<\/p>","trip_excludes":"<h2>Trip Cost Excludes:<\/h2><span class=\"cqiun4t2 khvhiq1o r5qsrrlp i5tg98hk iqx13udk przvwfww qiohso4h gfz4du6o r7fjleex nz2484kf svot0ezm dcnh1tix sxl192xd t3g6t33p \" style=\"background-image:url("\/img\/2617e32ba41ae37a81350005624747b8_a_195-40.png");\">\u274c <\/span>Visa fees (You can obtain a visa easily upon your arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu so (bring accurate USD cash and two passport photographs)) International airfare to and from Kathmandu <span class=\"cqiun4t2 khvhiq1o r5qsrrlp i5tg98hk iqx13udk przvwfww qiohso4h gfz4du6o r7fjleex nz2484kf svot0ezm dcnh1tix sxl192xd t3g6t33p \" style=\"background-image:url("\/img\/2617e32ba41ae37a81350005624747b8_a_195-40.png");\">\u274c <\/span>Travel and rescue insurance  <\/p>","page_title":"Trishuli River 1 Day Rafting & Cost | Nepal Vision Treks","meta_author":"Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keywords":"rafting trishuli, rafting nepal","meta_description":"Trishuli River Rafting is the most popular water adventure sport in Nepal which quenches white water desire of travelers.

Overnight at the camp.<\/p>Day 04: Bird-watching tour to Koshi Tappu<\/strong> Koshi Tappu is the most important wetland for migratory water birds in Nepal, and one of the most important in Asia. A total of 485 bird species have been recorded here. It has the largest heronry in Nepal and 20 globally threatened bird species have been recorded. This is especially important for some wetland and grassland species, notably Swamp Francolin, Baer's Pochard, Pallas's Fish Eagle, Greater Spotted Eagle, Lesser Adjutant, Spot-billed Pelican, and Bristled Grassbird.

Moreover, this park is not only endowed with rich biodiversity, but also an equally rich cultural heritage. A total of 540 bird species have been recorded in Chitwan. Two-thirds of Nepal's globally threatened bird species have been recorded in Chitwan. The site is especially important for several grassland species, including Bengal Florican, Grey-crowned Prinia Cinereocapilla, Slender-billed Babbler, Turdoides longirostris, and also for Lesser Adjutant. It is the only Nepalese locality where the Slender-billed Babbler has been recorded and it may support a larger population than any other area in the Indian subcontinent. Chitwan is the only Nepal site where Grey-crowned Prinia is common and it may also hold the largest population in the species range. The globally threatened Indian Spotted Eagle has bred in the park, one of its few known-breeding localities in Nepal. A large proportion of 15 out of 22 of Nepal's near-threatened birds has been found in Chitwan. You will be transferred to the Elephant back safari for a jungle excursion on this day. After lunch, you will also have a chance to view an elephant bath and bird watching in the forest area. We will again take on the canoe ride and jungle walk.

It was designated a national park in 2003. It is the main source of the rivers Bagmati and Vishnumati that flow the southern slopes of the mountain. A total of 178 species of birds have been recorded in Shivapuri and even many more species can be likely to occur. The park has good populations of Spiny Babbler and Hoary-throated Barwing, two-restricted-range species. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.<\/p>Day 10: Departure<\/strong> This day can be a spare day for you to shop for souvenirs or gifts for your family, friends, or relatives for you until your departure flight or commencing any extra trips or activities.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Along with that, you get to immerse in the beauty of cultural artefacts of the Tamang Tibetan community living in the region. Many people do not know that Tamang people are descendants of Tibetan horse traders who settled near the Kathmandu Valley centuries ago. The moderate trek is perfect for those who experience the natural and cultural allure away from the crowds and try something different. <\/span><\/p><h2>Trek on the Breathtaking Journey Along the Langtang Route<\/span><\/h2>The journey of the Langtang Ultimate Trek starts with the scenic ride from Kathmandu to the countryside, leading to the Syabrubesi.

The next day, you take the ascent through the Langtang National Park, where you encounter endangered species of the region, like musk deer and Himalayan Thar, who reside happily in the region. You end your journey in the Langtang Village for the day. The villages stand as a testament to the community's support for their region to restore its beauty after the devastating earthquake of 2015.<\/span><\/p>After 6 hours of trek, you will be able to see the marvellous cultural beauty of Kynajin Gompa. It is the place where you can acclimatize for a day, so you are up for exploration day. The architectural beauty of monasteries, flapping chorten, inscribed mani walls, and spinning prayer wheels are some of the beauties of Kyanjin Gompa. Along with that is the cheese factory in the region where you can take part in making cottage cheese and observe the process. Oh, and do not forget to bring some for yourself. <\/span> At the same time, the scenic view of the majestic peaks of Langtang Lirung and Yala Peak shows off its beauty.<\/span><\/p>After ending the exploration day, you retrace your way back to the Lama Hotel, followed by a trek from Thulo Syabru to Dhunche.  <\/span><\/p>","offer":"","include_exclude":"<h3>Trip Cost Includes:<\/h3>\u2705 All airport and hotel transportation by private vehicle in Kathmandu per the suggested itinerary. \u2705 Deluxe twin-sharing accommodation in Kathmandu with breakfast \u2705 Farewell dinner in Kathmandu (Alcoholic beverages are excluded) \u2705 Kathmandu to Syabrubesi to Kathmandu by private vehicle \u2705 Full board meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea & coffee) during the trek \u2705 Seasonal fruits during the trek are provided \u2705 Comfortable & clean accommodation on teahouse\/lodge\/tent during the trek \u2705 Government Registered Trek guide (English speaking, First Aid and eco trained), Sherpa porter (one porter for two trekkers) \u2705 All necessary paper works, Entry fees, and permits & TIMS card \u2705 Four seasonal sleeping bags, Nepal Vision Treks duffel bag,  and trekking map (sleeping bag  to be returned after trip completion) \u2705 First aid exclusive medical kit bag \u2705 All government and local taxes<\/p>","trip_excludes":"<h3>Trip Cost Excludes:<\/h3>\u274c Visa fees (You can obtain a visa easily upon your arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu so (bring accurate USD cash and two passport photographs)) International airfare to and from Kathmandu \u274c Lunch and dinner except for welcome & fare well dinner (and also in the case of early return from the mountain than the scheduled plan) \u274c Any extra night accommodation in Kathmandu because of early arrival, late departure, and early return from the mountain (due to any reason) than the scheduled itinerary plan \u274c Travel and rescue insurance  <\/p><h2>Permits for the Langtang Trek<\/span><\/h2>When you enter Langtang Trek, you need permits from the government taken with the help of government-registered trekking companies like Nepal Vision Trek.

Syabrubesi is the gateway to the Langtang Valley Trek. The small village is located about 117 km(73 miles) from Kathmandu. The only way to reach the place is by roadway, either by public bus or private transport. <\/span><\/p><h3>Travel by Bus<\/span><\/h3>Buses leave early in the morning from Kathmandu. The trip takes 7 to 9 hours, depending on road conditions and traffic. Your ride takes you through the scenic views of the countryside along the terraced fields, quaint villages, and glimpses of the Himalayas. Although, public buses may lack comfort because of the crowd. <\/span><\/p>For a more comfortable experience, you can also go for the shared or private jeeps. However, these shared or private jeeps come at an extra price than buses. But the price is worth it for a quicker and more convenient ride, usually reducing travel time to about 6-7 hours. <\/span><\/p><h3>Tickets <\/span><\/h3>Bus tickets for the Kathmandu-Syabrubesi route cost around $12 per person. You can get the ticket from the bus station. But in the peak trekking season, you need to book early. <\/span><\/p>Meanwhile, the shared jeep costs around $150 per person that accommodates up to six passengers.<\/span><\/p><h3>Travel Time & Road Conditions<\/span><\/h3>The travel time to Syabrubesi depends on the chosen mode of transport and the condition of the roads. Buses take 7 to 9 hours, while jeeps cut the travel time to about 6-7 hours. <\/span><\/p>But the roads are challenging along with rough and winding sections, especially as you ascend into the mountainous terrain. Despite the bumpy ride, the journey is filled with appealing rewards and an introduction to Nepal's rugged beauty.<\/span><\/p><h2>Travel insurance for Langtang Trekking<\/span><\/h2>Travel insurance is non-negotiable for anyone planning to trek in the lap of the Himalayas in the Langtang Valley. It can be your way to get peace of mind for financial protection against unexpected events in a remote environment. Likewise, it protects against the potential risk of altitude sickness, injuries, or trip disruption. So, reliable travel insurance policies make sure you are prepared. But before you choose the travel insurance, you have to look out for<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Make sure you have at least USD 100,000 for medical emergencies and evacuation.<\/span><\/li><li>Covers treatment, hospitalization, and related costs during the trek.<\/span><\/li><li>Protection against cancellations due to illness or natural disasters.<\/span><\/li><li>Confirm coverage for trekking at altitudes up to 5,000 meters.<\/span><\/li><li>Carry a copy of the policy and emergency contacts, and share details with your group.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>Is Langtang Trek Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>Langtang Ultimate Trek falls under the unexplored gems of the Langtang region. But before your trek, there are lots of things you need to prepare for a successful and enjoyable trek. From the best time to logistics, every aspect plays an important role in the planning of the trek. So let us have a quick insight on this. <\/span><\/p><h3>Trek Difficulty<\/span><\/h3>The trail puts forward a mix of easy and moderate ways ideal for people of all ages with basic fitness levels. The path winds through the thick forest and picturesque local villages like Lama Hotel and Langtang Village.<\/span><\/p>Moreover, the path is not overly technical, as it has gradual ascents, steep climbs and easier stretches, bringing out the variety throughout the journey. The highest point you will reach is Tserko Ri at 4984m, where you get after 6 hours of trek involving climbing uphill, river crossing and manageable descents.<\/span><\/p>Although the trek does not reach the extreme altitudes, the gradual elevation gain is still a challenge. So, you will be acclimatizing at Kyanjin Ri to ensure you adjust to the altitude and prevent altitude sickness. <\/span><\/p><h3>Best Time to Trek<\/span><\/h3>To get the best experience of the Langtang Trek and immerse in its beauty, you need to plan your trek at the ideal time. While every season brings out some beauty in the trail, the best and most comfortable times to trek are spring and autumn.<\/span><\/p>Summer and winter seasons come with a handful of issues like bad trail conditions, unpredictable weather, and blur visibility that contribute to affecting your trekking experience.<\/span><\/p>Spring and autumn are the best for several reasons.<\/span><\/p><h4>Spring<\/span><\/h4>The cold breeze of winter fades away, and nature restores its beauty, converting the whole landscape into green beauty. Along with that comes the pleasant weather, clear visibility, and long days that allow you to enjoy every bit of your trekking journey.<\/span><\/p>Likewise, the season is also known to be active for the flora and fauna, so you are up to enjoy the diversity of Langtang National Park. Do not forget about the festivals of Lhosar and Buddha Jayanti celebrated by the Tamang people. Spring is the time for this festival, so you can immerse in their cultural artefacts and customs preserved for generations.<\/span><\/p>Since the end of the spring season is nearer to the monsoon season, you can face unpredictable rains. You have to prepare for the weather accordingly.<\/span><\/p><h4>Autumn <\/span><\/h4>Similar to the spring season, autumn has yet another magic in nature. The vibrant atmosphere, good trail conditions and clear weather are the characteristic features of the autumn season.<\/span><\/p>As you make your way to the colourful landscapes standing against the backdrop of majestic peaks, the views are just perfect to watch. Around the year, autumn is one of the peak seasons because it offers natural and cultural charm. It is better to book your trek early or at the end of the season to tackle the crowd.  <\/span><\/p><h3>Food & Accommodation Options<\/span><\/h3>The trails start from the countryside, so the accommodation is mostly tea houses run by local families, giving a cozy experience and a glimpse of their culture. Room quality can differ according to the altitude. Normally, there are private or shared rooms with attached bathrooms. Heating is generally unavailable, so you have to carry an extra sleeping bag just in case. But some tea houses offer hot showers charging a small price of $2-5.<\/span><\/p>Aside from that, meals are also served in tea houses where you have access to local food. Dal Bhat, Thukpa, thenduk, Sweet Potato, Tibetan Bread, Fried Rice, and MoMo are some of the foods served. Besides that, you also have access to Western food in some locations. Throughout the trail, you have vegetarian and vegan-friendly options to look out for.  <\/span><\/p><h3>Phone Charging Options<\/span><\/h3>The good news for all the trekkers is that the region of Langtang has good phone coverage due to its proximity to Kathmandu. Nepal Telecom is recommended for better reception in the region than Ncell. You can get the sim card in Kathmandu after arrival. <\/span><\/p><h3>Internet & Wi-Fi Availability<\/span><\/h3>Aside from the better network coverage, Tea House has access to WiFi. But they charge around 2-5$ for the connection. Yet, the connection can be unreliable due to weather or other issues. <\/span><\/p><h3>Porter <\/span><\/h3>For the trek along the higher elevation, a porter is a great help to support your luggage. One porter can carry 20kg of luggage throughout the day, which costs less than 20$. While it is not mandatory, the porter is the help recommended for the trek. If you want to plan to hire them, we are here to help you out.<\/span><\/p><h2>How to Ensure Safety and Altitude Sickness on the Langtang Trek?<\/span><\/h2>In the Langtang Ultimate Trek, you reach an altitude of more than 4000m, so altitude sickness is an issue. Nausea, Vomiting, Shortness of breath, and headache are some of the common symptoms of the trek. In severe cases, the condition can prolong to High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema and High Altitude Cerebral Edema. <\/span><\/p>There are different ways you can implement other measures to prevent this condition in your trekking journey. Here are specific tips from experienced guides on the Nepal Vision trek for managing altitude sickness.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Stay Hydrated<\/strong>: Drink 3-4 liters of water daily to keep yourself hydrated and combat altitude effects.<\/span><\/li><li>Eat Nutritious Meals<\/strong>: Focus on healthy, balanced meals and avoid junk food to maintain energy levels.<\/span><\/li><li>Pace Yourself<\/strong>: Walk at a steady, comfortable pace and take time to enjoy the journey.<\/span><\/li><li>Take Rest Days<\/strong>: Plan acclimatization days to help your body adjust to higher altitudes.<\/span><\/li><li>Use Medication if Needed<\/strong>: Consider taking Diamox to ease symptoms of altitude sickness.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Seek Medical Help if Necessary<\/strong>: If symptoms worsen or become severe, go for professional medical assistance immediately.<\/span><\/p><h2>Tips for First Time Langtang Trekkers<\/span><\/h2>While experienced trekkers can find the trail easier to navigate. Although, beginner trekkers can use some tips for an enjoyable trekking experience. Our team has gathered some trekking tips for first-time Langtang trekkers.<\/span><\/p><h3>Observe the Mountains and Culture<\/span><\/h3>Immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscapes and the vibrant culture along the trail. Enjoy stunning mountain views and engage with the warm and friendly Tamang people to immerse in their appealing traditions and lifestyle.<\/span><\/p><h3>Train Before Your Trek<\/span><\/h3>Start training at least three months before your trek. During the initial time, start by taking long walks and using a staircase just so the body can adapt to long walks. Later, include cardio and strength training in your routine to build endurance and stamina.<\/span><\/p><h3>Prepare Your Gear and Equipment<\/span><\/h3>Put the investment in high-quality trekking gear for a comfortable experience. And if you want to go for a budget-friendly option, you can rent equipment in Thamel, Kathmandu costing less than a dollar per day.<\/span><\/p><h3>Practice Breathing Techniques<\/span><\/h3>Use proper breathing techniques to improve your trekking experience at high altitudes. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth to regulate your breathing for steady oxygen flow.<\/span><\/p><h3>Avoid Junk Food<\/span><\/h3>Stick to a healthy and balanced diet during your trek. Avoid junk food because it causes energy crashes. Instead, focus on nutritious meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables for sustained energy. <\/span><\/p><h3>Pack Light<\/span><\/h3>Keep your backpack light by carrying only the essentials. Go for lightweight trekking gear and clothes. As a general guideline, your pack should weigh no more than 10-15% of your body weight for comfort on the trail.<\/span><\/p><h3>Stay Hydrated<\/span><\/h3>Hydration is necessary at high altitudes because you lose water in the form of sweat in excess amounts. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily and carry a reusable water bottle. Similarly, water purification tablets or a filtration system can be used to treat water from natural sources along the trail.<\/span><\/p><h2>Langtang Trek Extensions and Alternatives<\/span><\/h2>Langtang's ultimate trek is not just one version of exploring the natural and cultural region of Langtang. But the good news for trekkers is there are different extensions for you to wander and immerse in the beauty of the trek. <\/span><\/p><h3>Langtang-Gosaikunda Trek<\/span><\/h3>Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is among the iconic destinations taking you through the heart of Langtang region across Langtang Valley with the sacred Gosainkunda Lakes for stunning views and spiritual experience<\/span><\/p><h3>Tamang Heritage Trek<\/span><\/h3>If you are looking to get the raw experience of the Tamang heritage distributed throughout the region.

Waste management, and trail management are some of the ways to take care of your impacts. Aside from that you can also follow these tips to support your responsible trekking. <\/span><\/p><ul><li>You should support artifacts in the local community by hiring local guides who can make your experience better with their cultural and ecological knowledge.<\/span><\/li><li>Try to respect their culture and dress modestly in villages. Always ask for permission before taking photographs of people or their property.<\/span><\/li><li>You should support locally-owned lodges and purchase goods from local shops to support the economy of the region. <\/span><\/li><li>Besides, educate about the environmental challenges of high-altitude areas before trekking.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a couple of nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip.

So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

Depending on traffic, weather, and season, the cost can range from $100 to $130. <\/span><\/p><h2>Travel insurance for Annapurna Base Camp Trekking<\/span><\/h2>Travel insurance is your safety net when you start your trekking journey. It helps to protect you against loss, theft, medical emergencies, high-altitude evacuation, and adventure mishaps. However, with plenty of options for travel insurance, it can take time to choose the right policy. <\/span><\/p><h3>Key Points to Consider for Trekkers<\/span><\/h3><ul><li>High Altitude Coverage: Standard policies may cover treks up to 4,000m. But for high-altitude treks, you should ensure that your policy covers higher altitudes.<\/span><\/li><li>Medical Evacuation: See out for emergency medical evacuation coverage, especially for helicopter rescues in case of altitude sickness or accidents.<\/span><\/li><li>Trip Cancellation & Interruptions: Plan against unexpected cancellations or itinerary changes.<\/span><\/li><li>Lost or Stolen Belongings: Make sure your luggage and valuables are covered.<\/span><\/li><li>Personal Liability: Include liability coverage for accidental injuries to others or property damage.<\/span><\/li><li>24\/7 Emergency Assistance: Go for insurers giving round-the-clock support for emergencies and evacuations.<\/span><\/li><li>Activity-Specific Coverage: Verify that trekking and adventure activities are explicitly covered; consult your provider if needed.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the hidden gems wrapped in the arms of the Annapurna region. Yet there are many things to consider before deciding if the trek is proper for you. Many factors contribute to the decision, so let us find out which of these are.  <\/span><\/p><h3>Trek Difficulty<\/span><\/h3>The trails of the Annapurna Base Camp trek fall under the easiest trek in Nepal. The terrain follows the steep ascents, narrow paths, and some high-altitude challenges standing as the test for seasoned trekkers. Similarly, you are taken to an altitude above 4,000 meters, which is yet another challenge. <\/span><\/p>The higher elevation increases the potential risk of altitude sickness.  You must hike for 12 to 15 days across diverse landscapes to trek. Other difficulties include your ability to keep pace and handle the changing altitude. So, <\/span>maintaining<\/span> <\/span>your<\/span> <\/span>pace,<\/span> <\/span>being<\/span> <\/span>well-equipped,<\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> <\/span>staying hydrated <\/span>can help you navigate the trail. <\/span><\/p><h3>Altitude & Climate<\/span><\/h3>The walk to Annapurna Base Camp takes you to a height of 4130m, with alluring views of the Annapurna ranges standing at 8091 m. The prominent highlight places of the trail are Ghandruk (1,940m), Chhomrong (2,170m), and Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m).<\/span><\/p>Altitude sickness can be an obstacle, but acclimatization is the best way to prevent it. Nepal Vision Treks guides have first aid training to help you provide essential medication like Diamox to alleviate the condition.<\/span><\/p><h3>Best Time to Trek<\/span><\/h3>The four seasons in Nepal bring out the best of the natural beauty. However, spring and August are the best times to experience any trekking trail due to its comfortable surroundings. At the same time, summer and winter seasons can be an obstacle to completing your trekking trail journey.  <\/span><\/p><h4>Spring <\/span><\/h4>Spring is characterized by the cold breeze from the majestic Annapurna peaks and the charming aura of natural wonder. Moreover, the active flora and fauna in the Annapurna Conservation Area allow visitors to encounter a diverse range of endangered species.<\/span><\/p>The long walking days, comfortable weather, and good trail location are perfect for exploring the trail, making the season one of the peak times to trek.<\/span><\/p>It is also the festival period of Lhosar, Buddha Jayanti, and the celebrated  Gurung community so that you can immerse yourself in the cultural insight of this friendly community.<\/span><\/p>Remember that clouds might obstruct your views due to smoke gathered from burning dry crops by farmers in the lower region. Meanwhile, the monsoon starts at the end of the season, so you should plan your trek in the middle of the season.<\/span><\/p><h4>Autumn <\/span><\/h4>Finishing the rain and nature regaining its beauty transition into the vibrant atmosphere, comfortable weather, and good trail conditions in the autumn season. The verdant landscape and pink and red rhododendrons add allure to the natural beauty. Aside from that, cultural landmarks and festivals like Dashaina and Tihar give you an insight into the customs and lifestyles of the Aryan community.<\/span><\/p>It is one of the best times to explore the natural wonders, so you should book the trek in advance to tackle the crowd. But the harsh winter climate starts at the end of the season, so you should prepare accordingly. <\/span><\/p><h3>Food & Accommodation Options<\/span><\/h3>The trail of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek combines ancient beauty with modern services, so you won't have to worry about accommodation and food.<\/span><\/p>The quality of accommodation ranges from lower to higher elevations. At lower elevations, you have functional tea houses with electricity, Wi-Fi, bathrooms with hot showers, and Western toilets. As you ascend to the upper elevation, you can stay in a teahouse, a room with a shared bathroom.<\/span><\/p>In contrast, you can get ready to spill your taste buds for food. The options suit all tastes, including local food like Dal Bhat (with unlimited refills), MoMo dumplings, Thukpa, fried rice, sweet potato, think, dido, and many more. You can also get Western options like pasta, pizza, and pancakes.<\/span><\/p>If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know beforehand so we can help accommodate your diet accordingly.  <\/span><\/p><h3>Phone Charging Options<\/span><\/h3>Since the trek is in the remote part of the Himalayas, most of the tea houses have access to electricity or solar power. But it depends on the tea house if you can charge your devices in your rooms. You also have an option to pay around $3-4$ to charge your battery in the main dining hall. Carrying your power bank during your trek in the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is better.<\/span><\/p><h3>Internet & Wi-Fi Availability<\/span><\/h3>Many villages have access to different phone services and mobile reception, but it is unpredictable. NCELL and Nepal Telecom are the two major local SIM card providers. You can get them in the stores in Thamel or Pokhara. Moreover, many tea houses charge 2-4$ for internet per night, depending on the altitude. <\/span><\/p><h3>Porter <\/span><\/h3>Whilst the porter is unnecessary for your trekking journey, the guide can greatly impact your trip and make it smooth and comfortable. If you are a beginner at the Nepalese trekking trail, you are advised to hire one porter for the Annapurna Base Camp trek. One porter can carry 20kg, depending on the terrain. But the decision to hire a guide depends on your needs and preferences. <\/span><\/p><h2>How to Ensure Safety and Altitude Sickness on the Annapurna Trek?<\/span><\/h2>Altitude sickness is a major concern in high-elevation trekking over 4000m. Here are specific tips from experienced guides on the Nepal Vision trek for managing altitude sickness.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Drink plenty of water (3-4 liters daily) and stay hydrated.<\/span><\/li><li>Eat healthy, nutritious meals and avoid junk food.<\/span><\/li><li>Walk slowly and enjoy the journey.<\/span><\/li><li>Take rest days to adjust to the altitude.<\/span><\/li><li>Use Diamox to reduce symptoms like nausea or shortness of breath.<\/span><\/li><li>Get medical help if symptoms become severe.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>Tips for First-Time Annapurna Base Camp Trekkers<\/span><\/h2>We have gathered bundles of tips to help you prepare for your trekking journey. <\/span><\/p><h3>Train Before Trek<\/span><\/h3>You should prepare physically before 3 months for a successful experience. Initially, you should start taking the staircase and, on the weekend, go for a long walk and bike ride. Later, focus on including cardiovascular and strength training in workouts for endurance and stamina.<\/span><\/p><h3>Prepare Gear & Equipment<\/span><\/h3>Plan to pack the proper gear for a comfortable trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Put out your investment for high-quality gear and pack wisely. If you want a budget-friendly option, rent gear from Thamel, which costs less than a dollar a day.<\/span><\/p><h3>Inhale With Nose, Exhale with Mouth<\/span><\/h3>Breathing techniques are best for making your trekking experience unforgettable at high altitudes. Practice inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. This method is perfect for regulating breathing and maintaining a steady oxygen flow.<\/span><\/p><h3>Observe the Mountains & Tibetan Culture<\/span><\/h3>Take time to appreciate the stunning landscapes and culture along the trail. Alongside the cheering white smiles of towering peaks, you will be accompanied by the friendly Gurung people, who will highlight their culture and customs, giving valuable insights into their way of life and traditions.<\/span><\/p><h3>Don\u2019t Eat Junk Food<\/span><\/h3>Try to eat a healthy diet during your trek. Avoid junk food, as it can cause energy crashes. Eat a balanced meal for muscle repair and plenty of fruits and vegetables for vitamins.  <\/span><\/p><h3>Pack Light<\/span><\/h3>Pack light during your journey, aiming to carry only the essentials in your backpack. Consider using lightweight gear and clothes specifically for trekking. For comfort on the trail, a good rule of thumb is to keep your pack weight under 10-15% of your body weight.<\/span><\/p><h3>Stay Hydrated<\/span><\/h3>Staying hydrated is vital during the trek, as high altitudes can lead to dehydration more quickly than at sea level. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day and carry a reusable water bottle. Besides, water purification tablets should be used when refilling from natural sources along the trail.<\/span><\/p>","page_title":"Annapurna Base Camp Trek | Itinerary & Cost - 10 Days | Nepal Vision Treks","meta_author":"Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keywords":"annapurna base camp trek","meta_description":"A thrilling tour that seamlessly includes all of the characteristics and aspects of the Annapurna Area in a 10-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp.","routemap":"upload\/package\/roadmap\/475619911Annapurna Base Camp - 10 Dayswebp","rating":"5","trip_code":null,"trip_start":null,"trip_end":null,"important_notes":null,"physical_condition":null,"additional_info":null,"slogan":null,"banner":"upload\/6746cdbdf32551732693437.webp","thumbnail":"upload\/6746cdbfd0d5d1732693439.webp","arrival":"Kathmandu","departure_from":"Kathmandu","fitness_level":"Moderate to Strenuous","faq":"<h2>Frequently asked questions:<\/h2>#@#<\/strong>What makes the Annapurna Base Camp hike special?<\/strong><\/span> #@#The trek offers incredible 360-degree views<\/strong> of the Annapurna range, including famous peaks like Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Himchuli, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain), and many more.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend two nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days before arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days before your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

The trek goes completely through the culturally Tibetan region, situated in the Trans-Himalaya of Nepal, bordering Tibet (China) in the north. A major part of Dolpo lies in Shey Phoksundo National Park, and hence, falls under the protection. Despite being the name \u00e2\u0080\u0098lower\u00e2\u0080\u0099 Dolpo, the region lies at a higher altitude with a dry atmosphere. You get a great journey exploring the natural beauty with the ethnic lifestyle of the local tribes of the people of the region. <\/p>The trek offers an exquisite adventure-travel experience of the remote and rugged mountain terrains of Nepal. The trail passes through ancient Tibetan villages, along with high-altitude passes, lakes, and Buddhist monasteries. The sighting of a variety of wildlife inhabiting the region, including Blue mountain sheep, Mountain Goats, Jackals, Wolf, and Snow Leopards, makes this trip even more exotic. The Lower Dolpo region is an unexplored region that still remains truly isolated from its neighboring regions. One can feel like time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants continue to sustain their livelihood and lifestyle in their traditional manners. The trek can be one of the best adventure, historical and cultural tours in Nepal.<\/p>The trek is also considered one of the strenuous journeys through the higher and windy paths, long hikes throughout the day, and might need some physical exercise. The trek is highly recommended for experienced and fit hikers. The trek rewards you with the clear blueness of the 'Shey Phoksundo Lake (3,611m), unique flora and fauna, a region rich in religion and diverse culture, and challenging passes.   <\/p>","offer":"","include_exclude":"<h2>Trip Cost Includes:<\/h2>\u2705 All airport and hotel transportation by private vehicle in Kathmandu per the suggested itinerary. \u2705 Deluxe twin-sharing accommodation in Kathmandu with breakfast \u2705 Farewell dinner in Kathmandu (Alcoholic beverages are excluded) \u2705 Kathmandu to Nepalgunj to Kathmandu by flight \u2705 Full board meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea & coffee) during the trek \u2705 Seasonal fruits during the trek are provided \u2705 Comfortable & clean accommodation on teahouse\/lodge\/tent during the trek \u2705 Government Registered Trek guide (English speaking, First Aid and eco trained), Sherpa porter (one porter for two trekkers) \u2705 All necessary paper works, entry fee, and permits & TIMS card \u2705 Four seasonal sleeping bags, Nepal Vision Treks duffel bag,  and trekking map (sleeping bag  to be returned after trip completion) \u2705 First aid exclusive medical kit bag \u2705 All government and local taxes<\/p>","trip_excludes":"<h2>Trip Cost Excludes:<\/h2>\u274c Visa fees (You can obtain a visa easily upon your arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu so (bring accurate USD cash and two passport photographs)) International airfare to and from Kathmandu \u274c Lunch and dinner except for welcome & fare well dinner (and also in the case of early return from the mountain than the scheduled plan) \u274c Any extra night accommodation in Kathmandu because of early arrival, late departure, and early return from the mountain (due to any reason) than the scheduled itinerary plan \u274c Travel and rescue insurance  <\/p>","page_title":"Lower Dolpo Trek Itinerary & Cost - 22 Days | Nepal Vision Treks 2024","meta_author":"Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keywords":"Adventure, Mountain, Wildlife","meta_description":"The Lower Dolpo Trek offers an exquisite adventure-travel experience of the remote and rugged mountain terrains of Nepal.","routemap":"upload\/package\/roadmap\/1192628364Lower Dolpo Trekwebp","rating":"5","trip_code":null,"trip_start":null,"trip_end":null,"important_notes":null,"physical_condition":null,"additional_info":null,"slogan":null,"banner":"upload\/package\/banner\/1728718272Lower Dolpo Trekjpg","thumbnail":"upload\/package\/thumbnail\/1605807930Lower Dolpo Trekjpg","arrival":"Kathmandu","departure_from":"Kathmandu","fitness_level":"Adventurous","faq":"#@#How long is Lower Dolpo Trek?<\/strong> #@#The Lower Dolpo trek is 18 days long.

At Nepalgunj, we will have few spare time in the late afternoon or evening to have a look around the town which is situated on the southern Nepal border with India.

On arriving at Juphal our trekking staff will receive you, who have walked all the way from Nepalgunj with the camping gear and food supply taking 5-6 days. At Juphal, a short 2-3 hrs walk from the airstrip will lead us to our overnight camp at Dunai village. Our first-day adventure will then begin with an hour downhill walk through the village below the airstrip, leading us through the terraced fields to the Bheri River. We will then reach the narrow gorge taking 2-3 hours to camp at Dunai. This is a much larger village or small township, with a new hospital in the administrated headquarters of the Dolpo region. Here, we will also have ample time for leisurely walks around the village.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 05: Trek to Tarakot (2,850m\/9,348ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our trek will lead us through many small streams on this day. We will follow the Bheri and Barbung river in a tremendous gorge with pine trees and an ingenious path built about seven meters above the river. After a good walk, we will reach Tarakot, where colorful terraced fields greet us. Tarakot is an old fortress town built by the local people as Dzong or fort. Tarakot was the capital before the Gorkha dynasty. The famed Sandul Gompa lies farther east of Tarakot and at the junction of Barbung khola and Tarup chu (river). The village stands on a hillock to the south of the Bheri River at one time supervised the collection of tolls for the trading caravans. We will have the overnight camp made by the river about 150 m below the village, near the police post.  We can also climb a steep ridge for an hour to the village on a spur, where there are chorten in a Gompa on the edge of a grassy plateau, with a solitary tree. We will settle camp overnight.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 06: Trek to Khani Gaon (2,543m\/8,341ft), 3-4 hrs walks<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Our route from Tarakot will follow the Tarap chu river upstream. We will be crossing the same river twice. The path will lead through the farm terraces and rural villages of Sahartera. The path will wind gradually towards a small settlement of Kola after 3-4 hrs of good morning walk. From this place, we will descend with a few ups to reach our overnight camp at Khani gaon with another 2 hours of trek. We will have the overnight camp near the village's backyard.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 07: Trek to Tarap Khola (3,450m\/11,316ft), 4-5 hrs walks<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">The trek continues walking up the gorge of the Tarap River, at times alongside it, at others rising high above on a trail built out from steep slopes. On the way we are likely to encounter people from Dolpo herding their flocks of sheep and goats to lower pasture for the winter. En-route there is many possible campsites by the river. The walk is quite exciting, as the valley becomes narrow gorge that in some places you can jump from one side to another. Sometimes the path vanishes for a while, making our own path across stone slabs fitted on logs in between the walls which act as a bridge. The gorge also provides unexpected adventure and thrills. In some places, the bridges are either damaged or washed by the monsoon flood, and we may opt to cross the cold torrent on foot and overnight at camp by the river near before Kamattarka village.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 08: Trek to Yak Kharka (3800m\/12,464ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Today, as our continuing our journey we start our walk pleasantly and with most scenic landscapes and will reach at Yak Kharka.

After few hours of good morning walk leaving the narrow gorge, from here the path leads just above tree lines for juniper bush and wild rose, typical of dry inner Himlayan valleys. Another 3 hours or more walk brings us to the village of Dho Tarap surrounded by an irregular stone wall. At Dho, thirty -four houses are divided into three groups and built in a randomly way. In this Valley both Bon Po and Chaiba sects reside together.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 10: Rest Day at Dho Tarap for acclimatization<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Well-deserved rest day free from the hassle of packing today and chance to make friends with the locals who have hardly seen westerners for ages. The Dolpo people wear home spun clothing that is sometimes dyed maroon and they favour Tibetan style somba or dhocha (boots with upturned toes) for foot wear. Both men and women often wear religious amulets and strings of coral, amber and turquoise. The people of the region are both Bon po and Nyingmapa of Buddhist sect. The Buddhist Gompa is nearby to the camp while the Bon Gompa (pre Buddhist) is about half an hour's walk.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 11: Trek to Tokyu Gaun (4200m\/13776ft), 5-6 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">After a wonderful time here at Dho Tarap, our journey continues towards upper Tarap valley, the walk follows in this plain valley with patched of lush verdant grass on both sides of the river, which is completely different from other parts of inner Dolpo. The trek on this pleasant track leads by the Tarap chu upstream all the way. Tarap is certainly a dream valley with vast plains in high mountains extending twenty kilo meters along the river Tarap Chu, having ten villages with cultivated fields of barley, buck wheat, wheat and potato. After 3-4 hrs of good walk in this perfect tranquillity coming to the village of Tokyu, it has a monastery belonging to the Chiba sect. After a break here our walk continues farther up this valley climbing up the rough track for almost another three hours to reach our overnight camp beneath the Numa-la and overnight camp on the pasture field.<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\"> <\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Day 12: Trek below Numala pass (4665m\/15301ft), 4-5 hrs walk<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Today, we start our trek after breakfast with scenic view but gaining high altitudes and feel short breathing.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

The inhabitants of Dolpo region are mainly Tibetans, therefore, the region is rich in ethnic Tibetan culture and arts. The Upper Dolpo trekking initiates at the north-west region behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. The abundance of Himalayan wildlife, including, Musk Deer, Himalayan Blue Sheep and rare Snow Leopard, makes it an Eco-trek destination as well.<\/p>Chosen as the prime location for the 1999 Oscar Nominated film Himalaya, it is one of the remotest and least exposed areas of northern Nepal. It offers rare opportunities to explore many unseen parts of the region. Referred as \"The Forbidden Kingdom\" in its own term, it happened to be closed for foreigners. It is now only possible to enter Dolpo through an expensive and restricted area permit.<\/p>Upper Dolpo has been mentioned by David Snelgrove in his book titled \"Himalayan Pilgrimage,\" more recently by Peter Matthiessen in \"The Snow Leopard\" and in \"Stones of Silence\" by George Schaller.<\/p>Upper Dolpo trekking begins from Juphal (2,285m\/7496ft). The trail passes though numerous gigantic mountain ranges, over the Numa La pass (5,190m\/17,028ft), till you reach Phoksundo lake at Ringmo village inside the Phoksundo National Park. After a day rest, one can continue on the trail crossing different passes to Jumla -where the trek concedes.<\/p>","offer":"","include_exclude":"<h2>Trip Cost Includes:<\/h2><span class=\"cqiun4t2

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes.

The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style='margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;'>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for

nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for

for entry into Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip.

So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip.

So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2 style=\"margin-left:0px;text-align:justify;\">More Info:<\/strong><\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly.

All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue.

You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend five nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants.

Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly.

You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/strong><\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

However, the first 10 days include trekking to the base camp of the peak. The climbing officially starts on the 10th day and continues till day 22. A total of 13 days are separated as the climbing session in this expedition, which includes the days you will be climbing to the summit of the peak and getting back to the base camp.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>#@#Can I adjust the itinerary?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The routes decided for the Ama Dablam Expedition-27 days have been decided by professional guides with the team.

The Ama Dablam Expedition is a thrilling climb for the experts who has proper technical skills and has faced harsh climbing sessions.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>#@#What are the difficulties faced during the Ama Dablam Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#Ama Dablam is a technical climb that lasts for almost a month. There are some difficulties you will face during the expedition. Some of the basic difficulties you may face during this expedition are:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Chances of altitude sickness due to the high altitude gain.<\/span><\/li><li>Unexpected weather plays a difficulty during your climb<\/span><\/li><li>Difficult technical sessions <\/span><\/li><\/ul>#@#Do you need prior experience and training for the Ama Dablam Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#Having prior knowledge and experience regarding the use of the equipment and climbing peaks is a must for Ama Dablam. The difficulty of the peak and the high altitude at 6,812m is the main reason that makes the peak a bad choice for beginners. The technical sections during the climb are quite difficult and require some experience in the field to complete the summit.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>#@# How are the routes of the Ama Dablam Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The Ama Dablam Expedition routes start just like the Everest Base Camp trek routes in the famous Khumbu trekking region. Beginners can easily ascend the trekking routes. However, reaching the base camp of Ama Dablam Peak is where the difficult route begins. From the Base Camp to Camp I is one of the most challenging climbing routes. The technical sections are not beginner-level. The route, however, slowly gets easier as you reach the top.<\/span>  <\/p>#@# Is Ama Dablam a technical climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#Yes, Ama Dablam is mostly a technical climb. It is a challenging climb from the base camp to the first camp which will require a lot of technical skills. The climb to the next camp will be comparatively little easier which will still require some technical skills.<\/span>  <\/p>#@#Will we need oxygen cylinders during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#As the Ama Dablam expedition takes you to an altitude of 6812 meters, the oxygen gets thinner at a higher altitude. For this reason, you will require oxygen cylinders.<\/span>  <\/p>#@# What is the best time for the Ama Dablam Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The best time for the Expedition is during the Autumn Season in the months of September to November and the spring season from March to May.<\/span>  <\/p>#@#Is travel insurance necessary?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#Yes, you must take travel insurance when you are traveling to high-altitude regions. If you are going mountaineering to peaks above 5000 meters, you must take your travel insurance and climbing insurance. Your travel insurance will pay for your rescue in case of emergencies.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>#@# What are the essential gears and equipment for the Ama Dablam Expedition?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#You will need proper gear and equipment for the Ama Dablam expedition. Climbing a portion of the trip is comparatively challenging and requires some professional skills or prior experience. So using the equipment and gears properly is a must. Basic climbing equipment like a pickaxe, carabiners, fixed rope, climbing boots, helmets, crampons, harness ice screws, etc is a must.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>#@# What is the total Ama Dablam expedition cost?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The cost of the Ama Dablam expedition depends on your preferences and expenses. The standard Ama Dablam expedition for 27 days will cost around USD 7555 per person which will cover everything from your food to accommodation along with staff and transportation during your trip.<\/span>  <\/p>#@#Do I need to buy all the climbing gear and equipment?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#If you want, you can buy climbing gear and equipment for personal use in the future. But if you choose not to buy the gears, you can always rent the gears and equipment from the<\/span><\/p>company.<\/span>  <\/p>#@#Will I get altitude sickness during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#There is a high chance of altitude sickness during your Ama Dablam Climb. The altitude gain during the climb is fast till we reach the altitude of 6,812m. This causes your body to get altitude sickness. You can take proper breaks during your climb to prevent altitude sickness. Also, during the climb, you must acclimatize after reaching each camp to avoid any altitude sickness. This will help prevent symptoms. But you should always carry some medicines to counter the symptoms just in case.<\/span>  <\/p>#@# How much do I tip the staff during the climb?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The staff does expect you to tip them for their service. However, you should feel pressured. You should tip them 10 percent of their charge for their service.<\/span>  <\/p>#@#What are the accommodations during the climbing period?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#The accommodations during the trekking part of the expedition are mostly in the tea houses and lodges. Once you get to the base camp of the peak, your accommodation will change into the tented camps. Make sure you bring warm clothes along with warm sleeping bags on the nights so that you won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t get very cold at high altitudes.<\/span>  <\/p>#@# What happens in case of emergencies?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>#@#In case of any emergencies, you have to communicate with your trekking or climbing guide so that you get help from professionals as they will know exactly what to do in any situation.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

We will be moving for about five to six hours to finally reach the Baruntse Base Camp. The walk will be just about a couple of hours, taking frequent rests in between. The trek might get intense as the altitude rises to 5,300m. We have to move to keep in mind the altitude sickness and the decreasing temperature. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll stay for the night in a tent.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 13-27: Mount Baruntse(7,129 m) Climbing period, 14 days<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>As we move on to the higher altitudes, the trek gets hard after Baruntse Base Camp. We'll be ascending and descending the trail to acclimatize and avoid acute mountain sickness for most of the following days. We'll follow the professionals, guides, and Sherpas, who'll help us get through the snowy ridge by putting ropes and setting camps. We will begin our summit as soon as we complete the rituals. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll make our way taking the inclined slope and Hinku Glacier. We should use the ladders and the equipment. <\/span><\/span><\/p> After arrival at the high camp, the trail gets a bit steeper and exposed to snow slopes. It won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be much difficult to climb but still,  we'll have to be careful of the high snowstorms that continuously hit the mountain. Precautions are very important in the trek. After the successful summit, the mesmerizing view of Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and other peaks takes all of your tiredness.  We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll gently move towards the base camp.

After walking for a maximum of five to six hours, our trail for the day ends at Seto Pokhari. We'll set our camp to spend the night.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Day 29: Trek back to Mera La(5,350 m),5-6 hrs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>As soon as we take our breakfast, we'll return to the trail taking us from the Seto Pokhari to Mera La. The trail for the day will be much steep as compared to the trails of the day before. There are very less settlements in the area as the area is the most remote area of the Khumbu region.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants.

Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels.

The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost.

Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2><p style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6rem;margin:0px 0px 10px;orphans:2;text-align:justify;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\">Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2><p style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6rem;margin:0px 0px 10px;orphans:2;text-align:justify;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\">Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

We will spend the day touring around the valley. The Valley is home to multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites. The beautiful Hindu Pilgrimage, Pashupatinath Temple is one of the most sacred places in the world.

The hike for the day will tram over the Soti khola that will thoroughly pass through the checkpoints for security reasons and permits. The long trek of about six to seven hours from the the confluence of Nar and Marshyangdi rivers will eventually lead us to Meta where we\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll stay at the lodge for the overnight.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 6: Trek from Meta to Kyang (3,740m\/ 12,267ft) (6-7 hours walk)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>On the sixth day of the trip, we will head forward from the seasonal settlement of Meta.

Our trail will follow the riverbed for a while and then cross an antique wooden bridge to join the side of the trail. After here, the trail becomes steep moving through an abandoned village and a suspension bridge. We will then pass very old chortens and mani walls along the way. We will spend the overnight at the lodge in Phu Valley.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 8: Acclimatization day at Phu Village<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>We will start the morning with a warm breakfast, and prepare ourselves to take in the magnificent view of Himlung Himal. After spending some time exploring the Himalayas, we\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll leave the village and move forward to explore the Phu Valley. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll go on a short hike to adapt ourselves to the temperature at higher elevations. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll walk through the ancient village of Phu in the afternoon. We will then discover Samdu and Cholang monasteries. You can spend your time visiting other small monasteries and chortens in the village. Overnight.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 9: Trek from Phu to Himlung Base Camp(4,900m\/16,076ft)(4-5 hours walk)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>After taking a day off for acclimatization, we will move towards the Himlung Base Camp. We will get on the trail that leads to the Himlung base camp packing our bags and gears. The trek will then start taking a continuous ascent up the hill. We will pass through the deserted moraines before following the yak trails. The yak trails will then take us to the Kari Koblar base camp. Following the trail, we will reach a grassy slope before crossing the Pangir Glacier. We will pass through a relatively more challenging trail full of boulders. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll arrive at Himlung Base Camp after about four to five hours of trek. We will set up our tent to stay the night.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 10: Rest and Acclimatization at Himlung Base Camp<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>As the altitude is increasing, the chances of altitude sickness might get increased. Hence, we will have to take day acclimatization in higher altitude places to make our bodies familiar with the height. We will spend the day exploring the surrounding mountains, taking in the majestic views of the surrounding peaks, and exploring the Himalayas. If you want, you can also choose to go for a short hike around the place to explore the nearby areas. Overnight at the base camp. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 11- 22: Climbing Period and return to the base camp<\/strong><\/span><\/span> We will start our climbing day on the eleventh day of the trip.

We will take a rest day at the base camp to make sure we can take the climb down easily. We have to retrace back our steps after we have completely ascended the beautiful mountains. We will stay in the camp set at the base camp. We can rest the whole time or spend time exploring unexplored areas. Overnight at the tent.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 24: Trek back to Phu(4,050 m\/ 13,284 ft)(3-4 hours walk)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>We will move back to Phu after taking a day's rest at the base camp of the Himlung Himal. We will have an early breakfast and leave early from the base camp, descending the trail to the Phu Village. During the trek of the day, we will lose most of the elevation we gained from the previous day. The trek moves mostly downhill taking about 5 to 6 hours to finish the trek. We will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the beautiful towering mountains and lush green hills. Overnight at the Phu Village.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 25: Trek back from Phu to Meta (3,560 m\/11,678 ft)(5-6 hours walk)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>As the walkway from the base camp will be sloping downward, we must maintain balance and not let our bodies get too tired and too fast. The trek will be a lot easier than ever compared to the trek before days. We have to move step by step climbing down from Phu to the downward villages. We will be crossing a suspension bridge, follow a sequence and chortens. We pass Kyang, multiple moraines, and Murju Khola, and climb down the trail. After about 5-6 hours, we reach Meta for the overnight stay.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 26: Trek from Meta to Koto (2,675 m\/ 8,774 ft)(5-6 hours walk)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>We will be trekking down to Koto walking for about six hours on average. We have to follow a rough stony route that will take us from a steep land to the base of the valley passing through Singenge\u00e2\u0080\u0099s stone. We follow the path which will take us to a forest close to a suspension bridge over the Seti Khola. After crossing the bridge, we scale up further to the hills and pass the river for the second time. A little more miles away is the small village, Koto. We will stay in a lodge in Koto.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 27: Drive to Besi Sahar<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Finally, after about a month, our walk comes to an end. Now, we will take our remaining trip back in a private vehicle. We will drive back to Besisahar leaving behind the beautiful Himlung Himal back of us. We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll celebrate the successful excursion of Himlung Himal. Taking a short drive, we reach the roadways taking us along the Prithivi Highway. The route rewards us with the beauty of lush green forests, traditional Nepalese villages, and majestic landscapes. Overnight in one of the guest houses in Besisahar. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 28: Drive from Besi Shar to Kathmandu(1,300 m\/4,265 ft)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>We move forward towards the capital city, Kathmandu. We take our breakfast and walk off from Besisahar. We will take the route through the hilly road taking the terrace farms, and forests full of pines. We can witness the shimmering Manaslu and Ganesh Himal from the jeep on the way back to Kathmandu if we are traveling in the Spring or Autumn season. We will drop you to the hotel where you can rest and freshen up. Overnight in Kathmandu.<\/span><\/span>  <\/p>Day 29: Leisure Day at Kathmandu<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>After taking a life-changing experience in the trails of Himlung, ripping through the wild forests and sloppy glaciers, we return to the crowded city. Here, you can treat yourself to pleasurable and recreational activities. You can also choose to explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites that were left unexplored last time. You can plan a trip to Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur, or Patan. You can also go shopping around the streets of Kathmandu. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Day 30: Departure back to the homeland<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Finally, our beautiful Himlung Expedition comes to an end.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2><p style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6rem;margin:0px 0px 10px;orphans:2;text-align:justify;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\">Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><li> <\/li><\/ul>  <\/p>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend a few nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Details:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":1190,"destination_id":"8","category_destination_id":1,"status":1,"duration":"11 Days","max_altitude":"4,380 m | 14370 ft","url":"hidden-lake-trek-11-days","difficulty":null,"activity":"Trekking","route_detail":null,"best_month":"March to May & September to December","room":"Hotel accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara, teahouses\/tent during the trek\/climb","transport":"Private Vehicle","operation":null,"meals":"Breakfast in Kathmandu and all meals during the trek","group_size":"2+","overview":"Hidden Lake Trek is an amazing off beaten trek in the scenic Annapurna Region.

With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":2040,"destination_id":"9","category_destination_id":8,"status":1,"duration":"13 days","max_altitude":"Leisure Tour","url":"india-panoromic-circuit-via-nepal","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":"Delhi-Jaipur-Agra-Varanasi-Lumbini-Kathmandu","best_month":"Throughout the year","room":"Hotel\/Lodge","transport":null,"operation":"Hotel & Lodge","meals":"Bed & Breakfast plan","group_size":"2+","overview":"TRIP INTRODUCTION:<\/strong> India Panoramic Circuit via Nepal <\/strong>is a great trip for you if you are planning to visit Nepal and India.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":795,"destination_id":"9","category_destination_id":8,"status":1,"duration":"5 days","max_altitude":null,"url":"golden-triangle-tour-india","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":null,"best_month":null,"room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":null,"overview":"<div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">Trip Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;\">The Golden Triangle Tour India<\/strong> includes a tour of the three prominent and culturally magnificent towns of India - Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs.

On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":3150,"destination_id":"10","category_destination_id":9,"status":1,"duration":"10 days","max_altitude":"5,150m\/16,892ft at Everest Base Camp","url":"north-everest-base-camp-tour-via-lhasa","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":null,"best_month":null,"room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":null,"overview":"<div>Trip Introduction:<\/strong><\/div><div>North Everest Base Camp Tour via Lhasa <\/strong>is a trip that combines several elements to give you a memorable trip of a lifetime.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus.

The trek will take us traveling across Tibet from Lhasa through the main site of central Tibet such as Gyantse and Shigatse. The Kangshung Face (3,350m\/11,000ft) of Everest is a mesmerizing journey to the unique side of Mt. Everest which is the bucket list for many trekkers. We will travel from its base to the summit of Kangshung Glacier is the East Face of Mount Everest, located on the Tibetan side.<\/p>The trek follows the footsteps of Mallory & Irvine to the Rongbuk Glacier. The trek starts from Gongkar, followed by a drive to Lhasa passing along the highest river in the world, Yalung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra). An enjoyable two days will be spent in Lhasa enjoying the revered and historical monuments of Potala Palace (Winter Palace) and Norbulingka (Sumer Palace), Jokhang temple, Barkhor Bazaar, and the monasteries of Drepung and Sera. We will spend the next few days driving to Kharta via Gyantse, Shigatse, and Shegar. The actual walking begins from Kharta, where Yaks can be organized if required. Apart from the few arid ridges of the Dzakar Chu Valley, this region is fairly green due to rainfall received from Nepal's monsoon.<\/p>The forest of scrub, juniper, dwarf rhododendron, and birch covers the higher ridges. The most frequented route used by climbing expedition teams to reach the Kangshung face Base Camp takes 4 to 5 days over Langma La Pass (5240m\/17,191ft). This spectacular pass, if weather permits, reveals some of the grandest Himalayan sceneries of the entire range. An alternative and extended trek to the base camp passes over the Shao La Pass (4,790m\/15,715), a lower pass to the southeast of Langma La that approaches the base camp via the Karma Tsangpo Valley.<\/p>","offer":null,"include_exclude":"<h2 style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(33, 37, 41);font-family:Rubik,

Overnight at a hotel.<\/p>Day 02: Thimpu Sightseeing (2,350m \/ 7708ft)<\/strong> Thimpu, the capital city of Bhutan, is a beautiful valley in the heart of the Himalayas. Because Bhutan adopts a strict development policy that incorporates traditional and cultural essence with infrastructure development, Thimpu exudes a traditional Bhutanese lifestyle. This quiet capital city of Bhutan has many Dzongs, the oldest of which is the Sirntokha Dzong. One of the main attractions of the day will be visiting the Tashicchodzong, which leaves an impression from the banks of Wangchu, the Thimpu River.<\/p>Day 03: Thimphu to Punakha (3,050m\/10004ft)<\/strong> After breakfast, we will drive to Punakha.

We will take a car to Paro from where we will start our hike by heading towards the Temple of Fertility, which was built by a controversial monk called Lama Drukpa Kuenley in the 15th century. He believed that salvation could be attained through sex. Over time, the belief that the temple blesses fertility became popular which eventually helped the temple\u00e2\u0080\u0099s popularity.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":2675,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"5 days","max_altitude":"2300m\/7544ft","url":"druk-yul-journey-to-bhutan","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":"Paro-Thimpu-Punakha-Bumthang-Trongsa-Gangtey-Paro","best_month":"March- May & August -Dec","room":"Deluxe Hotels","transport":null,"operation":"","meals":"Meals in Full Board","group_size":"2 Minimum","overview":"<div>Trip Intraduction:<\/strong><\/div><div>Druk Yul Trek is a short trip that starts with a splendid view of the pristine beauty of the Dragon kingdom of Bhutan<\/i>.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":4535,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":18,"status":1,"duration":"10 days","max_altitude":"2,900m\/9,514ft at Ngang Lhakhang","url":"bumthang-cultural-tours-treks","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":"Paro-Thimpu-Punakha-Bumthang-Gangtey-Paro","best_month":"March- May & August -Dec","room":"Deluxe Hotels","transport":null,"operation":"","meals":"Meals in Full Board","group_size":"2+","overview":"Trip Introduction: <\/strong><\/p>Bumthang Cultural Tours & Treks <\/strong>is the best opportunity to explore Bumthang and its cultures through major tours and treks.  Bumthang is one of the twenty districts of Bhutan that takes you through the tour through the beautiful cultural aspects of the tour.

After breakfast, we will take a short drive that will further take us to Ramthangkha. From there, we will take a 2-hour hike to the viewpoint of the monastery. The trail will climb through a beautiful pine forest, where many of the trees festooned with Spanish moss and an occasional grove of fluttering prayer flags. We will stop for a rest and light refreshments at the Taktsang Jakhang (cafeteria). We will then take a walk in short distance until we see, clearly and seemingly within reach, Taktsang monastery.  The monastery was built in the 1600s that clings to the edge of a sheer rock cliff that plunges 900 m into the valley below. Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava, the tantric mystic who brought Buddhism to Bhutan, landed here on the back of a flying tiger. You will be stopping for the lunch at the cafeteria. We will be then followed by a short walk to Ramthangkha. We will then take a drive to visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan built in the 7th century.

We leave Thimphu and then the road climbs steeply through a forest of pine and cedar, festooned with hanging lichen high up near Dochula pass (3,050 m). This pass often offers panoramic views of the Himalayan mountain ranges. After stopping for tea and the view, we will descend along a series of hairpin bends to the fertile valley of Wangdue, one of the major towns and district headquarters of Western Bhutan where we make a short stop to view the Wangdiphodrang Dzong dramatically located on the spur of a hill at the confluence of the Tsang Chu and Dang Chu rivers. We will then drive to visit Punakha Dzong, the winter seat of the Je Khenpo, and the Monk Body, which is remarkably located between the rivers of the Mo (Female) Chu and Pho (Male) Chu.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes.

The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong.

Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":5995,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":18,"status":1,"duration":"15","max_altitude":"Nyele-La Pass (4,700m)","url":"jomolhari-trek-in-bhutan","difficulty":null,"activity":"Cultural Tours, Trekking in Bhutan","route_detail":null,"best_month":"Sep to Nov & March to May","room":"Hotels\/ Lodge\/ Tents","transport":"Deluxe Vehicle- Private","operation":null,"meals":"All Meals Included","group_size":"Min 2","overview":"Jomolhari trek is one of the most popular trekking in Bhutan, that is full of nature, landscapes trek with great views of the Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari Basecamp (Jangothang).

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":3375,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"8 Days 7 Nights","max_altitude":"3,780m","url":"journey-to-the-dragon-kingdom","difficulty":null,"activity":"Trekking & Sightseeing","route_detail":null,"best_month":"March-April-May, Sept-Oct-Nov","room":"Deluxe","transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":"Meals on Full Board","group_size":"2+","overview":"Bhutan, a tiny Buddhist Kingdom in the Himalayas is unsurpassed in its scenic majesty and vibrant culture.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":2635,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"6 DAYS, 5 NIGHTS","max_altitude":null,"url":"bhutan-trip-6-days-5-nights","difficulty":null,"activity":null,"route_detail":null,"best_month":"March-April-May, Sept-Oct-Nov","room":"Deluxe","transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":"2-10 persons","overview":"The Bhutan Trip- 6 Days, 5 Nights <\/strong>can be a quick introduction tour to Bhutan for you.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

The season and weather conditions vary, but the ideal weather is spring and autumn.  However, summer and winter also have a lot to offer. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Spring (March to May)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Bhutan experiences a relatively short spring season, typically from early March to mid-April, coinciding with the onset of summer rains. During this time, the weather is pleasant, with mild temperatures and the emergence of beautiful wildflowers adorning the hillsides.<\/p>The humidity and rainfall levels are generally low, creating favorable conditions for outdoor activities. One of the highlights of visiting Bhutan in spring is the remarkable clarity of the views, particularly at higher elevations, where you can witness breathtaking Himalayan panoramas that are truly awe-inspiring.<\/p>Summer (June to August)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>From late June onwards, Bhutan encounters its most substantial rainfall, with frequent monsoons causing intense downpours, particularly in the southern areas. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>The period also brings a potential danger of flash floods that can affect rural communities, road transportation, and domestic air travel. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Despite the high humidity levels, there can be noticeable decreases in temperature after sunset, especially in the northern regions. In July, Bhutan's warmest month, the eastern part of the country can experience temperatures as high as 31.5\u00c2\u00b0C, while the capital city sees average highs of approximately 26\u00c2\u00b0C.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Autumn (September to November)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>Autumn in Bhutan begins in late September or early October, characterized by refreshing, sunny days and pleasantly crisp air. The season is known for its vibrant colors and clear skies, making it another popular time to visit. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Likewise, the views during autumn are often breathtaking, attracting many visitors to experience the beauty of the landscapes. In the northern regions of higher elevations, early snowfall is possible. As the autumn months progress, it adds charm to the scenery.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Winter (December to February)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>The <\/span><\/span>areas above 3,000 meters experience heavy snowfall, and frost is observed nationwide. <\/span><\/span><\/p> During this season, powerful gusts of wind sweep through the highest mountain passes, creating a formidable atmosphere that has earned Bhutan the moniker of the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon'. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Remote villages, temples, and monasteries may become isolated, and road conditions can be challenging, particularly in the eastern regions. However, the central highlands and southern areas remain relatively warmer and provide excellent hiking opportunities. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>For instance, in January, the town of Paro in the western part of the country can experience temperatures as low as -6\u00c2\u00b0C. Nonetheless, conditions in the southern and eastern regions tend to be significantly milder during this time.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa to enter Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure, but you must be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. <\/p>Travel insurance is a safety net for your adventure if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed, along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us and provide you with complete cover for anything that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience a vast array of wonderful mountain food. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine, served and soup, along with some Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu, where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> We will spend four nights in Kathmandu during this trip at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House combines a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities, while some may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>A large dining room, more like the lounge, is warmed by an iron cylinder fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role in ensuring all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share many cultural insights not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, the air pressure becomes low if the indicated altitude is high. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One average effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs must work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) oxygen supplies and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude, but for most people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down); additionally, one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Hydrate yourself and drink at least 2 litres a day. <\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms apparent.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or worsen.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must, but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, cold beverages, mineral water, extra meals, drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities, so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu, where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc., to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days before arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days before your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. If you are entering through the land border, you must do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> You need to know a few essential things before traveling to Nepal to have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will greatly help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while photographing, as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, temples, and other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR, which will be available at banks or exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but carrying some fleece cash is better. Ensure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":2625,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"5 days","max_altitude":"3180m","url":"glimpses-of-bhutan","difficulty":null,"activity":"Cultural and Historical Tour","route_detail":null,"best_month":"March, April, May- Sept, Oct, Nov","room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":null,"overview":"<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the enchanting kingdom of Bhutan within a limited period?

Here are the details of each season in Bhutan:<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Spring (March to May)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>The spring season is the ideal time to visit Bhutan, from March to May. <\/span><\/span><\/p> The alluring landscapes, with lush green fields, verdant mountain slopes, and blooming valleys, attract visitors in spring. It is considered the peak season due to the pleasant weather and reasonably dry climate. The temperature is comfortable, with hot days ranging from 2\u00c2\u00b0C to 26\u00c2\u00b0C and cool nights. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Sometimes the seasons also welcome the rain shower at the end. Popular destinations to visit during spring include Thimphu, Paro, Bumthang Valley, Punakha, and Wangdue Phodrang, known for their bright blue skies and fresh air. <\/span><\/span><\/p> Spring is also an excellent time for high-altitude hiking, with treks like Jhomolhari and Druk Path offering blooming rhododendrons, wildflowers and the chance to spot wildlife emerging from hibernation after winter.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Autumn (September to November)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> The fall in Bhutan has a pleasant, calm, mild climate with clear blue skies. The average temperature ranges from 6 to 24\u00c2\u00b0C with slight rainfall. Besides, there are approximately 10 hours of daily sunshine, with dry and warm periods. <\/span><\/span><\/p> In October, the northern mountainous regions experience a significant drop in temperature, leading to snowy weather in November.<\/span><\/span><\/p> In the season, trekking through diverse terrains allows visitors to witness the natural wonders of Bhutan, also known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Summer (June to August)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> Early July to early September marks the southeast monsoon season in Bhutan, characterized by hot and rainy weather. This period is considered the off-peak season, making it an excellent time to visit if you prefer to avoid crowds of tourists.<\/span><\/span><\/p> During summer in Bhutan, you can expect high humidity and heavy rainfall. While hiking might not be ideal due to the wet conditions, summer in Bhutan is suitable for sightseeing. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>The valleys in Central Bhutan, which receive less rainfall than the southern regions, are still worth exploring. Locations like Haa Valley and Trongsa are attractive destinations during the monsoon season.<\/span><\/span><\/p> The land becomes more fertile in summer, and locals pick mushrooms. If you visit Bhutan during this season, consider visiting the Ura and Genekha regions, which offer opportunities to participate in this activity and experience the local culture.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Winter (December to February)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> The winter season welcomes heavy snowfall and is the best time to visit the western region. The period is considered the off-peak season in West Bhutan, resulting in lower hotel prices and fewer crowds.<\/span><\/span><\/p> During winter in Bhutan, the average temperature ranges from -1 to 11\u00c2\u00b0C (30 to 52\u00c2\u00b0F. Snow and frost are common, especially in January and December. The nights in Paro and Thimphu can drop below freezing, and there are strong winds. <\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>However, the southern part of the country remains warm and offers excellent hiking opportunities.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Paro Valley is a must-visit destination in Bhutan during winter. The valley transforms into a winter wonderland covered in a blanket of snow. While in Paro, take the chance to visit the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery (Tksn hag).<\/span><\/span><\/p> Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa to enter Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any primary currency but NOT traveller's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is fun and adventure, but you must be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. <\/p>Travel insurance is a safety net for your adventure if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed, along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so every traveller must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & travelling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance guarantees you peace of mind while you travel with us and provides complete cover for anything that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of travelling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience a vast array of wonderful mountain food. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine, served and soup, along with some Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu, where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> We will spend four nights in Kathmandu during this trip at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House combines a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities, while some may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>A large dining room, more like the lounge, is warmed by an iron cylinder fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role in ensuring all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share many cultural insights not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, the air pressure decreases if the indicated altitude is high. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One average effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs must work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring additional (extra) oxygen supplies and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude, but a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects for most people. Acclimatizing takes time, and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to treating altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down); additionally, one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Hydrate yourself and drink at least 2 litres a day. <\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days or the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms are apparent.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially at night.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or worsen.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, significant hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are travelling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please ensure you have travel insurance covering emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously, and we conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to develop a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while travelling to prevent possible diseases. For travelling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must, but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, cold beverages, mineral water, extra meals, drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities, so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu, where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc., to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travellers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days before arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days before your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. If entering through the land border, you must do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> You need to know a few essential things before travelling to Nepal to have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will significantly help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while photographing, as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, temples, and other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and ask for a sum of penalties for drug offences.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR, which will be available at banks or exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centres. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but carrying some fleece cash is better. Ensure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travellers, so consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":3475,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"9 days","max_altitude":null,"url":"central-bhutan-cultural-tour","difficulty":null,"activity":"Cultural and Historical Tour","route_detail":null,"best_month":"March, April, May- Sept, Oct, Nov","room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":"2-10","overview":"Central Bhutan Cultural Tour<\/strong> is your opportunity to enter the forbidden kingdom of Bhutan, a land of untouched beauty.  <\/p>Bhutan blends rich culture, majestic landscapes, and warm hospitality.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any primary currency but NOT traveller's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is fun and adventure, but you must be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. <\/p>Travel insurance is a safety net for your adventure if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed, along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so every traveller must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & travelling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Good travel insurance guarantees you peace of mind while you travel with us and provides complete cover for anything that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of travelling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience a vast array of wonderful mountain food. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine, served and soup, along with some Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu, where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> We will spend four nights in Kathmandu during this trip at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House combines a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities, while some may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>A large dining room, more like the lounge, is warmed by an iron cylinder fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role in ensuring all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share many cultural insights not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, the air pressure decreases if the indicated altitude is high. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One average effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs must work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring additional (extra) oxygen supplies and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude, but a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects for most people. Acclimatizing takes time, and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to treating altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down); additionally, one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Hydrate yourself and drink at least 2 litres a day. <\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days or the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms are apparent.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially at night.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or worsen.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, significant hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are travelling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please ensure you have travel insurance covering emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously, and we conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to develop a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while travelling to prevent possible diseases. For travelling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must, but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, cold beverages, mineral water, extra meals, drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities, so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu, where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc., to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travellers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days before arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days before your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. If entering through the land border, you must do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> You need to know a few essential things before travelling to Nepal to have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will significantly help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while photographing, as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, temples, and other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and ask for a sum of penalties for drug offences.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR, which will be available at banks or exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centres. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but carrying some fleece cash is better. Ensure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travellers, so consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":4795,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"11 Days","max_altitude":null,"url":"splendors-of-bhutan","difficulty":null,"activity":"Cultural and Historical Tour","route_detail":null,"best_month":"March, April, May- Sept, Oct, Nov","room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":null,"overview":"The Splendors of Bhutan is a fascinating tour that takes you to a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and spiritual enlightenment. <\/p>However, are you looking forward to exploring and immersing in and exploring the forbidden kingdom of Bhutan? <\/p>Our immersive 10-day itinerary takes you through the highlights of this enchanting country.

The temperatures gradually rise in March, with daytime averages around six \u00c2\u00b0C (43 \u00c2\u00b0F). As the season progresses, temperatures in April and May range from 12-16 \u00c2\u00b0C (53-61 \u00c2\u00b0F) during the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p> While the southern plains become hot and humid, the mountainous areas maintain a cooler climate. Spring is an excellent time to witness the vibrant flora, including rhododendrons and magnolias, painting the landscape in vivid colors. It is also a good season for trekking and enjoying outdoor activities.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Summer (June to August)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Summer in Bhutan comes along with the monsoon season. During this period, the southern regions experience heavy rainfall, creating lush green valleys and nourishing agriculture. <\/span><\/span><\/p> The temperatures range from 20 \u00c2\u00b0C (68 \u00c2\u00b0F) to 30 \u00c2\u00b0C (86 \u00c2\u00b0F), with warm throughout the year. In contrast, the mountainous areas remain relatively more relaxed, with average temperatures ranging between 13-15 \u00c2\u00b0C (55-59 \u00c2\u00b0F) during the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p> While the monsoon showers can be frequent, they often occur in the form of intermittent rain, allowing for occasional breaks to explore the country's cultural sites and scenic landscapes.<\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Autumn (September to November)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p> <\/p>Fall in Bhutan is characterized by clear blue skies, pleasant temperatures, and stunning landscapes. September retains summer-like weather, with average temperatures around seven \u00c2\u00b0C (44 \u00c2\u00b0F) during the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p> As the season progresses into October and November, temperatures gradually decrease, particularly in the mountainous regions.

December marks the beginning of winter, with average temperatures ranging from 0 \u00c2\u00b0C (32 \u00c2\u00b0F) in the mountains to mild temperatures in the southern plains. <\/span><\/span><\/p> The mountainous regions often experience snowfall, making it a picturesque time to visit and enjoy winter sports such as skiing. The western districts of Paro, Wangdue, Punakha, Thimphu, and Haa are especially favorable to explore during this season.<\/span><\/span><\/p> The east-west highway may occasionally be affected by snow, so checking road conditions before traveling is essential. Despite the cold, the clear skies and fewer tourists create a tranquil atmosphere.<\/span><\/span><\/p> Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa to enter Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any primary currency but NOT traveller's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is fun and adventure, but you must be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. <\/p>Travel insurance is a safety net for your adventure if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed, along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Good travel insurance guarantees you peace of mind while you travel with us and provides complete cover for anything that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience a vast array of wonderful mountain food. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine, served and soup, along with some Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu, where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House combines a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities, while some may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>A large dining room, more like the lounge, is warmed by an iron cylinder fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role in ensuring all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share many cultural insights not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, the air pressure decreases if the indicated altitude is high. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One average effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs must work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring additional (extra) oxygen supplies and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude, but a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects for most people. Acclimatizing takes time, and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to treating altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down); additionally, one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Hydrate yourself and drink at least 2 liters a day. <\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days or the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms are apparent.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially at night.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or worsen.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, significant hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are travelling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance.

Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will significantly help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while photographing, as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, temples, and other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR, which will be available at banks or exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but carrying some fleece cash is better. Ensure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travellers, so consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":2735,"destination_id":"11","category_destination_id":19,"status":1,"duration":"6 days","max_altitude":null,"url":"bhutan-tour-six-days","difficulty":null,"activity":"Cultural and Historical Tour","route_detail":null,"best_month":null,"room":null,"transport":null,"operation":null,"meals":null,"group_size":"2-10","overview":"<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>Our Bhutan Six Days Tour is an immersive journey with a glimpse into this mystical land's cultural treasures and breathtaking landscapes.

The monsoon season in Nepal starts from June to August, and it is not suitable for trekking in higher altitudes due to heavy rainfall and the chances of landslides. The winter months from December to February are usually too cold and covered in snow, making it challenging to climb but still, you can trek to the places like Kathmandu which don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t face any snowfall.<\/span><\/span><\/p>","status":1,"created_at":"2018-06-21T17:20:49.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-12-17T17:53:24.000000Z","url":"short-treks","meta_title":"8 Best Short Treks in Nepal (2024) | Nepal Vision Treks","meta_keyword":"Short Treks","meta_description":"Find the best short trek packages at Nepal Vision Treks and explore the beautiful places of Nepal.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

We wish you a wonderful Himalayan adventure with us!<\/div>","useful_info":"Passport and Visa Requirements<\/strong> All foreigners require a visa for entry into Nepal (except Indian nationals). It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Lightheadedness<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\">Use the registered taxis.

Lhasa is also known as The Forbidden City. The long-kept discreet and away from foreign intrusion is one of the greatest attractions of Tibet. It is also a spiritual and cultural hub of the region.<\/p>Mt. Kailash, situated in the western region of Tibet, is another major attraction of the trip.

Locked away at the higher-altitude and from curious eyes, it has long excited the Western world and media for exploration and discoveries.<\/p>Tibetans, the Butter-tea fanatics, have managed to keep their tradition alive for centuries. Lhasa (3,650 m\/11,975ft), also known as \"The Forbidden City\", is the spiritual and political capital of Tibet.

It is your responsibility to obtain an entry visa. You can get it from a Nepalese embassy overseas or on arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most people will obtain their visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will need two passport photos and the following fees in US Dollar cash (this is payable in any major currency but NOT traveler's cheque) dependent upon the duration of the multiple entry visas:<\/p><ol><li>Multiple entries 15 days US$ 30 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 30 days US$ 50 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><li>Multiple entries 90 days US$ 125 or equivalent convertible currency<\/span><\/li><\/ol>Travel Insurance: <\/strong> Travel Insurance is mandatory for booking any of Himalayas Nepal Vision\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Adventure packages. Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend four nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now also have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking. Nepal Vision trained its guide\/trekking staff on the following course:<\/p><ul><li>Intensive Wilderness First Aid<\/span><\/li><li>Trekking Guide Training<\/span><\/li><li>Eco Trekking Workshop and Adventure Meet<\/span><\/li><li>English Language<\/span><\/li><li>Conservation and Biodiversity<\/span><\/li><li>Rock Climbing, Ice Climbing, and Mountaineering (For expedition leaders)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Altitude Information<\/strong> What is Altitude? <\/strong> Altitude is known as elevation, and it is often used to refer to the height above sea level. Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Diamox\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider Stemeti\u00e2\u0084\u00a2l (or other anti-vomiting medication) for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":null,"price":325,"destination_id":"8","category_destination_id":7,"status":1,"duration":"3 Days","max_altitude":"400m\/1300ft at chitwan","url":"chitwan-national-park-wildlife-tour","difficulty":null,"activity":"Jungle Safari","route_detail":"Kathmandu-Chitwan-Kathmandu","best_month":"February-May & September-December","room":"Resort Accommodation","transport":"Private Vehicle","operation":"Willdlif Safari in Chitwan National Park","meals":"Full board meals in Resort","group_size":"1+","overview":"Chitwan National Park Wildlife Tour<\/strong> is a tour to explore the nature and wildlife of Nepal. <\/strong>Chitwan National Park is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

With Mount Everest 8,848 m (29,029 ft) standing tall in Nepal, mountaineering enthusiasts are keen to explore this region at least once in their lifetime. By the end of 2010, there had been 5,104 ascents to the Everest summit by about 3,142 individuals, with 77% of these ascents being accomplished since 2,000.<\/p>After Nepal Mountaineering Association opened access to various small peaks for climbing, mountaineering enthusiasts, amateur and experienced alike, are attracted by Nepal's beautifully challenging climbing peaks. Peak climbing in Nepal gives you the experience of both trekking and mountaineering. The trekking peaks or climbing peaks, whatever you please call them, offer mountaineering challenges of varying degrees.<\/p>The increasing popularity of the trekking peaks in Nepal is down to the fact that visitors not only get to trek some of the world's popular trails but also experience the thrills of mountaineering. Nepal opened its peaks for mountaineers worldwide in 1949. Ever since it continues to ignite the imagination of mountaineering and climbing enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>Although there are many climbing peaks in Nepal, some are evidently more popular than others. Some of the most popular trekking peaks are Island Peak, Mera Peak, Lobuche, Kyajo Ri, Nayakanga, Pisang Peak, Singuchuli Peak, and Tharpu Chuli. Depending upon the amount of time and climbing experience you have, you can choose a peak that best suits you.<\/p>Nepal Vision Treks & Expedition has an impressive record of organizing successful climbing and mountaineering expeditions.

Trekking in the Himalayas is full of fun and adventure but you have to be prepared for risk management. While you are in High Altitude region, there are higher risks of difficulties. You may suffer from various health problems, injuries, and illnesses. Even High altitude sickness can tear up your perfect itinerary. And that\u00e2\u0080\u0099s where travel insurance can save you from distress or at least from some of the costs, depending on the policy you buy. For your adventure, Travel insurance is a safety net if things go wrong. At times, even a helicopter may be needed along with a rescue team, for ground evacuation, so, every traveler must have rescue insurance covered against personal accidents, medical expenses, emergency air ambulance\/helicopter rescue service accidents, and personal liability. Start your trip with all the necessary health & traveling insurance for your safety.<\/p>Having good travel insurance will not only guarantee you peace of mind while you travel with us but also provide you with complete cover for anything things that may go wrong.<\/p>Trip Meal Plan <\/strong> Eating is a big part of traveling. With Nepal Vision, you will experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available in the Mountains. Nepal Vision will provide Traveling Mountains meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that crews require on the trail. On this trip, you can enjoy both traditional Nepalese three-time served as Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as vegetables, noodles, potatoes cuisine served and soup along with some, Nepali versions of western food such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or lodge menu where we will spend the night. Lunch will be eaten at one of the trailside restaurants. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner, and breakfasts will be served during our stay in Kathmandu.<\/p>When an individual is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs, we will arrange it as per your requirements on request. Also, the crew will carry fresh, fruit supplies at a time along the trail. Our guides will carefully be checked for the quality and quantity of the food in every teahouse. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food for your convenience.<\/p>Trip Accommodation <\/strong> During this trip, we will spend three nights in Kathmandu at four-star standard hotels. We will spend the nights at standard mountain teahouses. A Tea House is a combination of a guesthouse, restaurant, and social hang-out. Private rooms are available in most tea houses. The lodges are fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. Most bathrooms are shared and toilets are the Western version. Most of the Teahouses have running water facilities while some of them may also have hot water available for bathing at an additional cost. It is advisable to carry wet wipes as an alternative.<\/p>There is a large dining room more like the lounge, warmed by an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lit. Most teahouses now have electricity for charging small appliances, mobile phones, and cameras. Some might charge a small amount for this.<\/p>Best time to visit Nepal <\/strong> Nepal is for all seasons! But because of the huge range in altitude and landscape, the climate of Nepal differs significantly throughout the country. The most recommended seasons for trekking are autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) and spring (March, April, and May). In these seasons you will be rewarded with good weather, sunny and warm with clear skies and outstanding views. During monsoons (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, the issue could be less visibility and rain. For the student of botanicals, a monsoon is a blessing as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can also trek in winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only, the issue will be cold weather with snowfall at higher elevations.<\/p>The trekking routes are filled with trekkers during spring and autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and you could enjoy rather the best of nature. However, because of the effects of global warming, the climate is changing worldwide and there could always be the possibility of exceptions in these weather patterns. There could be a hoax of bad weather and sometimes even in adverse months during the best seasons too. <\/p>Leader(s) & Staff <\/strong> The Trek Leader of your group has a role to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. Our guides are intimately familiar with all local castes and customs along the trails and will share with you many cultural insights that are not covered in any guidebook. You will have a good chance to learn Nepali phrases, cultural things, and more on your trekking.

Altitude is related to air pressure. Trekkers and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. As the altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure becomes low. The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure. To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the 'high elevation'.<\/p>Acclimatization <\/strong> We are experts at operating adventure trips at high-altitude destinations. Every trip we run has a realistic acclimatization program. Our treks are designed to allow gradual height gain, spread over several days. There is no way of predicting who will suffer from altitude but, for the vast majority of people, a slow ascent to height will produce minimal effects. Acclimatizing takes time and there are no safe shortcuts. All trips to altitudes over 3,000 meters carry medicines essential to the treatment of altitude illness, and our leaders are trained to administer them and to know the symptoms.<\/p>Symptoms & signs of Acute Mountain Sickness<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Headache (typically throbbing, often worse for bending over or lying down), Additionally one or more of the following symptoms might be seen:<\/span><\/li><li>Tiredness, weakness<\/span><\/li><li>Lightheadedness<\/span><\/li><li>Loss of appetite, nausea (or vomiting)<\/span><\/li><li>Insomnia, disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li><li>Dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, heavy legs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Treatment<\/strong>  The only cure for mountain sickness is either acclimatization or descent to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with a descent to the lowest possible height.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Rest (avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible) at the same (or lower) altitude until the symptoms clear (up to 4 days)<\/span><\/li><li>Drink enough to keep your urine pale and plentiful<\/span><\/li><li>Use ibuprofen or paracetamol for headache<\/span><\/li><li>Consider anti-altitude medication (125 to 250 mg 12-hourly) for 3 days, or for the rest of the time at altitude if symptoms return<\/span><\/li><li>Consider anti-vomiting medication for persistent nausea\/vomiting<\/span><\/li><li>If AMS symptoms are severe, give oxygen (1 to 2 L\/min) OR use a pressure bag until symptoms clear<\/span><\/li><li>Check the victim regularly for signs of HAPE and HACE, especially during the night<\/span><\/li><li>Descend far enough to clear symptoms (at least 500m\/1640ft) if symptoms of AMS do not improve or get worse<\/span><\/li><\/ul>What do we do if we are affected by Altitude Sickness? <\/strong> Sometimes trekkers might suffer from ailments like altitude sickness, heart problems, dysentery, or fracture while trekking in the Himalayas. While there are clinics at some places for minor ailments, major hospitals are days away from most of the trekking trails. So, a client\u00e2\u0080\u0099s life could be at risk if he\/she is not rescued immediately. If you find yourself ill or injured in the mountains, Nepal Vision Treks will arrange rescue and evacuation services for our clients.<\/p>Helicopter rescue services will rarely come to your aid without you either making a cash deposit or a promise in Kathmandu. While you are traveling with us, we can become the guarantor for the helicopter operators, make the initial payments, and send a helicopter for your rescue. We claim the amount later from you or your insurance. Please make sure you have travel insurance that covers emergency helicopter services for rescue to avail of this service.<\/p>Our expert and trained guides are very experienced in dealing with the effects of higher altitudes. They are equipped with necessary first-aid medical supplies and will assist with basic first-aid treatment. The safety of our clients is taken very seriously and conducted the operation swiftly and didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t panic for a second to come up with a proper operation.  <\/p>Vaccination:<\/strong>  Vaccination is the most important thing to consider while traveling to prevent possible diseases. For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you take vaccines against Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, etc. However, it is not a must to have but it is recommended. You should check up with your doctor before the departure of your trip. Your doctor will have access to the most up-to-date information on the required vaccinations for the country you will be visiting.<\/p>Extra Expenses Information<\/strong> You are responsible for your expenses, a cold beverage, mineral water, extra meals, and drinks (more than 3 meals a day), and other services which are not mentioned in our service Includes column. So you should be planning to bring at least US$20 to US$30 per day for these expenses. It is not necessary to obtain local money before departure. Nepal has modern banking facilities so you can use ATMS in Kathmandu where you can easily use your credit card, Debit card, Master card, Visa card, etc. to withdraw local currency.<\/p>COVID Precautions<\/strong> Fully vaccinated travelers don't require a pre-departure PCR test for COVID-19 to enter Nepal. You must bring the vaccination certificate completed at least 14 days prior to arrival at the Airport. In case you are not fully vaccinated or have not completed a full dose of vaccination at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Nepal, you have to bring a COVID-19 test report which can be either RT-PCR, Gene Experr, True NAAT, or WHO accredited test that shows the negative result done within the last 72 hours of boarding from the first airport. In case you are entering through the land border, you will need to do the test within 72 hours before entry. The provision will not be accepted for children below 5 years.<\/p>Things to Consider<\/strong> There are a few important things you need to know before traveling to Nepal so that you can have a smooth journey to Nepal.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Be prepared for major emergencies. Nepal experiences natural calamities like Earthquakes, Landslides, floods, and several others. Carrying an emergency kit with necessary first aid supplies and bottled water will be a great help. <\/span><\/li><li>Take care while you photograph as it's illegal to photograph army barracks, checkpoints, many temples, and many other areas. <\/span><\/li><li>Don't use any illegal drugs. The government of Nepal might take this as a severe charge and also might ask for a sum of penalties for drug offenses.<\/span><\/li><li>Check with your intended tour provider despite Nepal issuing trekking and mountaineering permits. <\/span><\/li><li>Exchange foreign currencies for NPR which will be available at banks or any exchange bureaus. Those can be found in major centers. Most hotels and restaurants accept credit cards but it's better to carry some fleece cash. Make sure you carry enough cash to cover your needs because not all areas have ATMs. <\/span><\/li><li>Use the registered taxis. Some taxi drivers may take ask for higher amounts by fooling novice travelers, so make sure you consider checking for prices. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>","equipment":"<h2>More Info:<\/h2>Clothing & Packing Information<\/strong> Correct Clothing & Equipment\u00e2\u0080\u0099s are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

With Mount Everest 8,848 m (29,029 ft) standing tall in Nepal, mountaineering enthusiasts are keen to explore this region at least once in their lifetime. By the end of 2010, there had been 5,104 ascents to the Everest summit by about 3,142 individuals, with 77% of these ascents being accomplished since 2,000.<\/p>After Nepal Mountaineering Association opened access to various small peaks for climbing, mountaineering enthusiasts, amateur and experienced alike, are attracted by Nepal's beautifully challenging climbing peaks. Peak climbing in Nepal gives you the experience of both trekking and mountaineering. The trekking peaks or climbing peaks, whatever you please call them, offer mountaineering challenges of varying degrees.<\/p>The increasing popularity of the trekking peaks in Nepal is down to the fact that visitors not only get to trek some of the world's popular trails but also experience the thrills of mountaineering. Nepal opened its peaks for mountaineers worldwide in 1949. Ever since it continues to ignite the imagination of mountaineering and climbing enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>Although there are many climbing peaks in Nepal, some are evidently more popular than others. Some of the most popular trekking peaks are Island Peak, Mera Peak, Lobuche, Kyajo Ri, Nayakanga, Pisang Peak, Singuchuli Peak, and Tharpu Chuli. Depending upon the amount of time and climbing experience you have, you can choose a peak that best suits you.<\/p>Nepal Vision Treks & Expedition has an impressive record of organizing successful climbing and mountaineering expeditions. In that we have worked in the business for the last 30 years, we have accumulated invaluable know-how when it comes to organizing expeditions.

It was not just for the promise of snow-capped peaks and rhododendron forests but also the challenge and sense of perspective such a trek can bring.<\/span><\/p>Despite my research and my imagination of what my day would look like, I was wrong, as the walk in the lap of the Himalayas alongside the natural and cultural gems of Annapurna was magical. <\/span><\/p>But today I am here to share more of the things I really wish I\u2019d known before starting the trek\u2014the kind of details that rarely show up in glossy travel write-ups but can make or break your experience out on the trail.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"raw-html-embed\"><\/div><h3>Annapurna Base Camp Trek Overview at a Glance<\/span><\/h3>Annapurna Base Camp is located in the heart of the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ntb.gov.np\/annapurnaregion\"> Annapurna region<\/u><\/span><\/a>, passing by appealing views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre ranges. It will satisfy your heartfelt curiosity about the flapping chorten, spinning prayer wheel, and scattered small monasteries. <\/span><\/p>My journey begins in early October, as it is considered to be the best time to explore the alluring beauty of the trek. Alongside the great weather, comfortable temperature, and cultural highlights of the region, my 10-day journey includes nearly 61 miles of trail, 20,000 feet of elevation gain, and close to 30,000 relentless stone stairs. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is anything but a walk in the park.<\/span><\/p>The initial days started in the valley of Pokhara, where I immersed myself in the alluring beauty of the surrounding Machhapuchhre. Now begins your official trek as you gain elevation with the first clear look of the majestic Annapurna South and the Himchuli range.<\/span><\/p>In the upcoming days, you mark your way to the Deurali and then MBC (Machapuchare Base Camp). As you climb, Annapurna I and Annapurna South tower over you.<\/span><\/p>I was fortunate to encounter rare endangered species in the Annapurna Conservation Area, such as the elusive Himalayan tahr and the snow leopard.<\/span><\/p>The finale comes when you reach the Base Camp, surrounded by the Annapurna II, III, IV, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre, and feel the sense of accomplishment of those physical challenges encountered throughout the trek. <\/span><\/p>But I did something different. I decided to skip the Poon Hill excursion, which is often added to the ABC trek, especially for sunrise views. While I was disappointed to miss the chance to see the iconic sunrise over the mountains, my body was starting to feel the strain from the stairs, and I needed to pace myself.<\/span><\/p>The Poon Hill detour would have added about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) and an additional 1200 feet (365 meters) of elevation to Day 3.<\/span><\/p>Given my exhaustion after Day 2\u2019s intense climb, I chose to rest and adjust my pace. Still, if you\u2019re feeling good, it\u2019s a fantastic addition for some unforgettable sunrise views of Dhaulagiri, Machapuchare, and the surrounding peaks.<\/span><\/p><h4>The Stairs Are No Joke<\/span><\/h4>One of the biggest physical challenges of the Annapurna Base Camp trek is the crazy number of stairs. Every single day, I climbed thousands of stone steps, uphill, downhill, and everything in between. At times, it felt like I was stuck on an endless staircase winding through the mountains.<\/span><\/p>I read several resources and blogs beforehand, but very few mentioned the stairs or gave them the attention they truly deserve.<\/span><\/p>Believe me, they\u2019re one of the most complex parts of the whole trek. Your legs will burn, and your knees will definitely feel it. By Day 3, I was already reaching for ibuprofen just to keep going. So if you have knee problems or joint issues, this is something you really need to think about in advance.<\/span><\/p>The constant stepping up and down is way more demanding than walking on flat ground or gentle trails. But if you go in mentally prepared and pace yourself, it\u2019s totally doable.<\/span><\/p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/d2i9o55ouvfvau.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/3GQ4erClZ9BkOiHUicBHH9ceJ4l2n9TEfwC2cqW4.webp\"><\/figure><h3>Physical Fitness Training <\/span><\/h3>My journey would have been even more challenging without my guide, Pushkar Basnet<\/strong>, who encouraged me to start training a month before the trek began.<\/span><\/p>For my physical preparation, I started by simply walking more and taking the stairs whenever I could. I also consulted with my trainer, who helped me create a routine that combined cardio, strength training, and flexibility workouts<\/strong>. For that month, I could really feel the difference in my stamina and strength.<\/span><\/p>I also joined a local rock climbing arcade, which was a fun way to build both physical and mental endurance. At the gym, I used the stair-climbing machine, which was especially helpful\u2014it felt just like the long uphill stretches of the trek. Thanks to all of this, I was able to handle the physical challenges much better than I expected.<\/span><\/p><h4>Mental Strength Matters More Than Physical Fitness<\/span><\/h4>Before I started the Annapurna Base Camp trek, I had to be really athletic to make it through. But after doing it, I realized something surprising: being mentally strong was more important than being in top physical shape.<\/span><\/p>Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014being active helps. But what really got me through the hardest days wasn\u2019t big muscles or a running habit. It was stubbornness. I just kept telling myself, \u201cOne step at a time. Keep going.\u201d<\/i> That mindset helped me more than anything else.<\/span><\/p>There were moments when I was sore, tired, and out of breath\u2014but instead of pushing too hard, I learned to pace myself. Taking it slow, resting when needed, and staying positive helped me build endurance as the days went on. You don\u2019t need to rush or prove anything. The goal is to finish strong, not fast.<\/span><\/p>So if you\u2019re someone who hasn\u2019t trained like an athlete but really wants to do this trek, you absolutely can. As long as you're healthy, prepared, and mentally committed, your determination can carry you far, even through thousands of stairs and long days of walking.<\/span><\/p><h4>What I Would Do Differently<\/span><\/h4><ul><li>Pace myself better from the start.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul> I would avoid pushing too hard on the first few days and take more breaks to save energy for the longer climbs ahead.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Do more prep for knees and joints.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul>To handle the stairs better, I\u2019d add more joint-friendly exercises like squats, lunges, and stair training before the trek.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Bring better gear for support.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul>A good pair of trekking poles and well-fitted knee support would have made a big difference on the steep descents.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Stick to my own pace and listen to my body.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul>Skipping the Poon Hill side trip was a smart move for me. Don\u2019t be afraid to rest when your body needs it.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Train smarter, not harder.<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul> I learned that training doesn\u2019t mean exhausting yourself\u2014it means consistently preparing, being balanced, and being kind to your body.<\/span><\/p><h3>Final Thoughts: Why It Was Still Worth It<\/span><\/h3>The final wordings of my whole journey is that despite those sore legs, steep stairs, and long days, the moment of the Annapurna Base Camp trek was all worth it. The alluring mountain views, the friendship built along the trail, and the observation of those cultural and natural gems were all magical.<\/span><\/p>If you want a trusted team to guide you, I highly recommend <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepalvisiontreks.com\/\">Nepal Vision Treks<\/u><\/span><\/a>.

But what about those with family? Well, after decades of successful trekking experience in the remote laps of the Himalayas, we can say that the appealing cultural gems and alluring natural heritages are for sure to be a wonderful experience for families.<\/span><\/p>Besides the towering peaks, cultural artefacts alongside the tumbling waterfalls and glaciers from these peaks, and encountering rare and exotic wildlife, the trek in Nepal can offer a variety of experiences you might not have had until now.

First, we will guide you to take a small step and pick the right trek, especially for the kids, to enjoy every ounce of the beauty in the adventure.<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Your child\u2019s age and experience: Younger kids might enjoy shorter and easier walks. Older children or teens may be ready for longer treks, especially if they\u2019ve hiked before.<\/span><\/li><li>How long your family can walk: Choose a trek based on how many hours a day your kids (and you!) are happy walking. Some treks are just 2\u20133 hours a day, while others are longer.<\/span><\/li><li>Altitude safety: Higher places have thinner air, which can make people feel sick. For families, it\u2019s best to start with lower-altitude treks unless you\u2019ve done high-altitude trips before.<\/span><\/li><li>Fitness level of parents: Be honest about how fit you are. If you\u2019re active and used to walking, you\u2019ll have more trekking options. If not, no worries, there are still great, easy treks for you.<\/span><\/li><li>What your family enjoys: Do you love mountain views? Animals? Meeting local people and learning about their culture? Choose a trek that matches your family\u2019s interests so everyone has fun.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Best Family-Friendly Treks in Nepal<\/span><\/h3>You might have found dozens of treks in Nepal for families, as the place has a lot to offer.

It turned out to be a doorway into the hidden customs and centuries-old traditions of the Tibetan communities, who have preserved their way of life high in these Himalayan valleys.<\/span><\/p>That year, I was beyond thrilled to be joining a group trek with my friends\u2014an adventure we\u2019d been planning for months. We landed in Kathmandu in September, greeted by Nepal\u2019s vibrant energy and our friendly local guide, who met us with a warm smile and helped us settle into our hotel in the buzzing heart of Thamel.<\/span><\/p>Two days later, our journey began. I had expected solitude, steep ascents, high passes, and that crisp sense of clarity that only altitude can give you. I expected the aching calves, starlit skies, and the slow burn of yak butter tea in chilly mountain air.<\/span><\/p>But what truly shaped my experience was stumbling into Kumje\u2014a festival bursting with celebration, music, laughter, and ancient rituals. Kumje wasn\u2019t on my itinerary, but it cracked something open\u2014something soft and curious.

But what is even better is to document your journey and share it with other travellers and those who are willing to be part of such a journey.<\/span><\/p>Take an example, when a trekker shares their part of the majestic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepalvisiontreks.com\/package-detail\/everest-base-camp-trek-14-days\">Everest Base Camp trek<\/u><\/span><\/a> or the unexplored gems of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepalvisiontreks.com\/package-detail\/kanchenjunga-base-camp-trek\">Kanchenjunga trek<\/u><\/span><\/a>, with its alluring cultures, appealing landscapes, and kind, friendly people, making every part of the trek better. Well, that's the kind of content we enjoy, right?<\/span><\/p>Thus, documenting your journey in the age of social media is not just about remembering where you went, but also about capturing the feelings of those wonderful moments, what you learned from them, and how they changed you.<\/span><\/p>That being said, how about we learn a few exciting things about documenting your trekking story so you can invite others into that experience, to inspire, connect, and maybe even set out on their own path?<\/span><\/p><h2>The Role of Visual and Written Stories in Inspiring Others<\/span><\/h2>The idea of sharing your trekking story is a great way to bring a shine to your memories and provide the best inspiration for others, too. When you reflect on the ups and downs, the physical struggles you went through, the magnificent rewards, the people you met, and the places you saw. Even if they have never been to the mountain, the power of imagination will help them to understand your story.<\/span><\/p>Both visual and written stories, regardless of their source, are sufficient to create a human connection that extends beyond just photos or words. They get to see the beauty of the Himalayas, hear about the traditions of mountain villages, and understand a lifestyle very different from their own. It builds curiosity and respect for other cultures.<\/span><\/p>Moreover, some people may be intimidated by the trek due to the challenges they must overcome. But when they see your journey, how you prepared, what you went through, and how it changed you, they might feel brave enough to try.<\/span><\/p>Sharing your experiences also helps spread awareness about nature, culture, and the importance of preserving them. You can show why it\u2019s essential to leave no trace, support local communities, and travel responsibly.<\/span><\/p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/d2i9o55ouvfvau.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/vHFIHqyssTqeiP0xxFLtRMSCzJg25P8dltRpX9iX.webp\"><\/figure><h2>What Can You Capture?<\/span><\/h2>While there is no rule for what anyone should capture, especially in such alluring and appealing gems of a trek surrounded by emotions, people, and little moments in the heart of nature, every element makes it unforgettable. But some things can become a part of your memories to carry along:<\/span><\/p><h3>Moments of Emotion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>Trekking stirs up all kinds of feelings. The joy of reaching a high pass, the tiredness after a steep climb, the quiet bond with someone walking beside you, or that one moment when a mountain peak suddenly appears through the clouds. These are the moments that leave a mark.<\/span><\/p><h3>The People<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>Every trek is filled with people who make the journey memorable. Locals who greet you with kindness, fellow trekkers who share the same path, guides who show you the way and share their world with you. Their faces, voices, and stories become part of your own.<\/span><\/p><h3>The Landscape<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>It\u2019s not just about big mountain views. The trail is full of surprises. Gentle hills, thick forests, crystal-clear streams, flowers growing through rocks, and valleys wrapped in mist. Each scene pulls you in and tells its own quiet story.<\/span><\/p><h3>Culture and Rituals<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>Trekking also means stepping into someone else\u2019s world. Whether it\u2019s a local festival, a prayer at a small temple, or a simple meal shared in a mountain village, these moments show the heart of the place. They help you understand the life that lives along the trail.<\/span><\/p><h2>7 Ways to Capture Your Trek Effectively<\/span><\/h2>Now that you're already aware, let's get to the finale and explore some of the best ways to commemorate your trekking stories, as there are thousands of tiny moments along your journey. The sound of your footsteps on the trail or the friendly laughter shared in each of these moments slip away quickly if you miss them. So, here are seven gentle and meaningful ways to keep those memories safe and alive.<\/span><\/p><h3>Journal Daily, Even Briefly<\/span><\/h3>You don\u2019t need to write pages and pages. Just take 5 minutes at the end of the day to jot down what you saw, how you felt, what surprised you, or what made you smile. It could be something as simple as, \u201cSaw a line of yaks walking past in the fog,\u201d or \u201cFelt proud after that steep climb today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>Over time, these notes become a story. Even a few lines can bring back a flood of memories when you read them later, the smells, the sounds, the air around you. It\u2019s like catching pieces of the trail and tucking them into your pocket.<\/span><\/p><h3>Use Captions with Heart<\/span><\/h3>When you take a photo or video, don\u2019t stop at just the location name or date. Tell people what was happening at that moment. What were you thinking? What did you feel?<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Instead of writing \u201cSunset at Namche,\u201d you might say:<\/span><\/li><li>\u201cFelt small watching the sky turn gold. My legs were tired, but my heart was full.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul>This is just one quote. You can use your photos and creativity to mix them so that they come alive for anyone who sees them, not just as images, but as real, lived moments.<\/span><\/p><h3>Film Little Moments, Not Just Highlights<\/span><\/h3>Big mountain views are beautiful, but don\u2019t forget the quiet details. Record the sound of prayer flags fluttering. A quick video of your shoes being taken off after a long day. Your friend is sipping tea by the fire, eyes sleepy and content.<\/span><\/p>These everyday moments, the ones you think are \u201ctoo small,\u201d are often the most magical. They capture the real rhythm of your trek, from resting to thinking to taking a breath. Later, these clips will help you remember not just how the journey looked, but also how it felt.<\/span><\/p><h3>Interview Yourself or Others<\/span><\/h3>Sometimes, the best stories are the ones you tell on the go. Pull out your phone and ask yourself:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>\u201cHow am I feeling right now?\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/li><li>\u201cWhat was the hardest part of today?\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/li><li>\u201cWhat am I learning?\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/li><\/ul>You can also record others, such as your guide talking about the village you\u2019re passing through or a fellow trekker sharing their reason for taking the journey. These voices add richness and emotion to your memory. They remind you that the trek was shared with others.<\/span><\/p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/d2i9o55ouvfvau.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/mJJSGkbEbYpnZBFDDFXc63IzV7BI7QireeUdV2to.webp\"><\/figure><h3>Photograph with Intention<\/span><\/h3>Instead of taking hundreds of photos without thinking, try slowing down and being mindful. Look for a moment that really makes you feel something: a child waving at you from a field, a single flower growing from a rock, a shadow falling across a snowy path.<\/span><\/p>Consider how you want the photo to evoke its intended emotion. You don\u2019t need fancy gear. Just notice the light, the angle, and the emotion behind what you\u2019re seeing. <\/span><\/p><h3>Collect Small Artefacts<\/span><\/h3>Sometimes, the most minor things carry the deepest memories. A leaf from the forest trail, a train ticket to the starting point, and a napkin from a lodge where you had the best soup. You can also sketch something that catches your eye, a mountain shape, a door design, or the pattern of a village carpet.<\/span><\/p>Keep these in a little pouch or tape them into your journal. These silent pieces, though they don\u2019t say anything out loud, hold the feeling of the place and time in a special way.<\/span><\/p><h3>Reflect After the Trek<\/span><\/h3>Once you're home, give yourself space to sit with everything. Go through your journal, photos, and recordings. What patterns do you see? What did the journey teach you? What did you leave behind, and what did you bring back with you?<\/span><\/p>Write it down in one place. It doesn\u2019t have to be public, maybe it\u2019s a letter to yourself, a blog post, or a scrapbook. Putting all the pieces together helps you understand the deeper meaning of your journey, and maybe, it even inspires your next one.<\/span><\/p>To wrap up, Trekking is about the moments you capture along the way. Each summit reached, each quiet pause in a meadow, and every new face you meet adds layers to your story.

So, take a moment to capture your adventure.
