Trip Note

Meals
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner are included in the package. Your guide will suggest delicious, hygienic and each place special food during your trip. Mountain restaurant owner prefer not to order many dishes and waste food as they would like to cater more trekkers with limited food before run off stuck. Its a week or more days hard work to porters and caravans to bring food to these places. During the trek you will usually have breakfast and dinner at the same Lodge, lunch will be eaten at one of the trail side restaurants en-route.

Accommodation
we will have a Tea House ( Mountain Lodge ) while one trekking. Private rooms are available in most of Tea Houses, except for high altitudes ones where it will be just dormitories or room with shared bathroom which is fairly basic. The rooms are spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided at Tea House accommodaiton. There is a large dining room-cum-lounge, warmed by the bukhara stove (an iron cylinder) fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lighted. There is normally no electric lighting in the rooms unless the village has hydroelectric power. The dining room usually has solar lighting system or also have electricity for charging mobile phones and cameras , there may be a small charge for this.

Drinking water
we can get mineral water and boiled water during the trek upon additional cost. We discourage the purchase of Mineral water and bottled water while on the Trek as plastic bottles aredifficult to dispose off and have become an environmental problem so we would suggest you to have chlorine/Iodine treated water during the trek in himalayas. 

Route Map
Mount Trails offers you complementary route maps.

This is a very active trip so pack as lightly as possible. Unnecessary luggage or things, you can leave in Kathmandu Hotel and its absolutely free of cost. We provide one porter between two trekkers to carry your gear luggage. Porter put your bags  in a duffel bag that we will provide which will be very safe. The maximum weight, porters are allowed to carry is about 20 KG per trekker. 

Important to note
