While your group leader will carry emergency communication tools, having personal contact information is always helpful. Inform your bank about your travel plans to ensure ATM functionality in Nepal.

If you have pre-existing health conditions, consult your doctor beforehand and share relevant details with your guide for added precautions. Be ready for unpredictable weather and remain flexible, as conditions in remote areas may lead to changes or delays. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

While most rooms are twin-sharing, adjustments may be necessary in remote areas and will be handled with care and flexibility.

Toilets and showers may vary in quality, with some offering excellent facilities and others being more basic. Bringing your own toiletries and checking the equipment list is highly recommended to stay prepared.

Communication during the trek can be challenging, with limited or no phone reception and internet access in remote areas. Some teahouses may provide Wi-Fi, but it’s often slow, unreliable, and comes at an additional cost. In emergencies, your guide will assist with communication, including access to satellite phones if needed. Our experienced team is dedicated to managing any challenges and ensuring your safety, comfort, and enjoyment every step of the way.

Tips Guideline

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a meaningful way to express gratitude for the services provided, in line with trekking traditions. It typically occurs on the final night of the trek, often accompanied by a celebration with the team. During this time, the support team shares their joy and emotions. The leader will guide the group in collecting the tips, which are then distributed by one of the group members to the team. The recommended tip for each Sherpa is $ 70 to $ 80, or an amount of your choice, excluding the trip leader. For the trip leader, depending on the group size, the suggested amount is $ 35 to $ 40 per person, or as you see fit.
