If you can walk 5–6 hours on hills with a light daypack, you can do most of our treks. Train for 2–3 months with long walks, stairs or cycling.
What about altitude sickness?
Our itineraries include acclimatisation days and a slow ascent. Guides check your oxygen level daily with an oximeter and will descend with you if needed.
Which permits do I need, and are they included?
Each region needs a national park or conservation area permit, and some a TIMS card or restricted area permit. All required permits are included in our price.
Can I charge my phone, and is there Wi-Fi?
Most teahouses offer charging and Wi-Fi for a small fee, usually USD 2–5. Signal gets weaker higher up, so bring a power bank.
Can I change the dates or go privately?
Yes. Every trek can run privately on the dates you choose, from 1 traveller. Group departures are guaranteed from 2 people.
How do I pay, and what's the cancellation policy?
We take a deposit to confirm your trip, and the balance is paid before departure or on arrival in Kathmandu. Cancellation charges depend on how close to departure you cancel; we send the full conditions with your quote.
Do I need insurance?
Yes. You need travel insurance that covers trekking up to your highest altitude and helicopter evacuation. We ask for the policy details before you start.
When is the best time to trek in Nepal?
March to May and late September to November give the clearest views. June to August is monsoon; the Annapurna Circuit and Upper Mustang work best then.
Do you have Spanish-speaking guides?
Yes. We have licensed Nepali guides who speak Spanish fluently, for both group and private treks. Ask when you book so we can reserve one.
How much luggage can the porter carry?
One porter carries up to 20–25 kg for two trekkers, so plan about 10–12 kg each in the duffel bag we give you. Extra luggage stays at your Kathmandu hotel.
