Do you provide a big bag or, let’s say, a duffle bag for trekking?
Yes, we provide a complimentary duffle bag with our company logo, which you can take home after the trek.
How much luggage (kg) can we pack in the duffle bag, and what do we have to carry ourselves?
You can pack in the duffle bag up to 22 kg, which a porter will carry. Similarly, you will carry a small backpack for your belongings (make it as light as possible).
Also, is there an approximate guideline on how much cash we should take on a trek? For drinks, for example.
Just buying cold drinks such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Juice, or sometimes buying beers, you should allocate about US$ 15 -30, equivalent to Nepalese Rupees per day per person). Also, importantly, please avoid buying mineral water in a bottle. Instead, you can buy safe drinking water provided by communities.
Are there any options for storing things we don’t need on our trip?
Yes, we have storage facilities for our guests. You can store any non-trekking gear or any stuff with us!
How much should I tip to the guide or porter(s)?
This question is not easy to answer, as tipping is optional but expected by the crews! However, the article “How Much Should I Tip to My Guide” may be helpful.
Do we need travel Insurance to join your trekking holiday?
Yes, it is necessary, but not mandatory, to have travel insurance. Nevertheless, we advise you to buy travel insurance against personal accidents and helicopter rescue evacuation.
Can your agency help us to buy trekking insurance? If yes, how long in advance should it buy?
First, we encourage you to buy the insurance policy in your home town. In addition, we can also help you if you want to buy an insurance policy from our local insurance company. But it is no hurry to book months in advance. Instead, we can arrange it before you leave for the designated trek. For this, we need passport copies and your home address with the contact person’s name and contact number.
