ACCOMMODATIONS

Trekking in Nepal offers diverse accommodation options. Places like Everest and Annapurna regions offer tea houses and hotels which are hospitable and clean. Trekking in remote regions like Dhaulagiri trek or Kanchenjunga trek could require camping equipments. There are basically three options when you are trekking in Nepal. They are Tea houses or Lodges, Camping and Home stays. During trekking in Bhutan, you might have to rely mostly on camping.

Trekking is a strenuous activity for the most part especially in the Himalayas. Each trekking day could easily involve at least 5-6 hours of continuous walking which is quite exhausting at higher altitudes. It is also important to understand that proper nutrition is of utmost importance during a trek. When we talk about accommodations during trekking, meals have to be taken into consideration. Meals could be local cuisine but they will be perfectly suited to meet your calorie requirements.

Tea Houses which are basically lodges are particularly good, reasonable and comfortable. There can either be individual bedrooms or dormitories. We would still suggest that you carry a sleeping bag as it could get cold and the beds may not be that comfortable to sleep in. Showers will also be available. They provide you with meals too and though it might not be as good at home, it will be comfortable enough to get you some rest before you resume your trekking the next day.

While trekking, camping can also be organized. You will have to take along cooks and porters to carry up the equipment and set up camp during the trek. In Nepal, at some trekking routes, there are home stays at local villages. These are also comfortable to stay at.

TREKKING EQUIPMENT

The equipments required for trekking vary according to factors like place, altitude and the number of days involved in trekking. It also varies according to what kind of accommodation you have chosen for your trek. If you are going to stay at lodges during the trek the equipments you carry will subsequently be lesser than what you will carry during a camping trip. However basic equipments like a sleeping bag, warm clothes, a durable backpack and water bottles are necessary for all kinds of treks.

During Camping treks, you will require tents, porters, cooks and other staff on such treks. Nepal’s trekking support staffs is considered the best and there are hardly any problems that trekkers encounter on camping treks. In the morning you will receive tea, followed by breakfast. You will have to sleep inside a tent of blow up mattresses. The campsite will normally be closer to a Nepali village on a site that has a water source and great vistas of the Himalayas.

While trekking, you need trousers, scarves, jackets, rainproof jacket, sunhat, gloves, thermal underwear, woollen socks and t-shirts. Carry a bag pack, sleeping bag and flashlight. You will also need a towel and toiletries including soap and shampoo. Carry a sun block lotion (SPF 30+), insect repellent and iodine to purify water. Don’t forget a pocket knife. We suggest that you carry minimum weight so that trekking can become easier for you. It is much easier if you take a tea house trek or just check in to a home stay as that would mean that you will not require additional porters or cooks during your trek. The cost would also go down significantly.

SAFETY & SKILLS

One of the imminent threats that exist while trekking is altitude sickness. Altitude Sickness is known to be fatal among trekkers. This is however, preventable. This happens when you fail to adapt to higher altitudes. There is however no need to panic. All you need to do is to walk slowly and make use of rest days by relaxing your body. At ascents, you need to be steady but slower in pace. It is advisable to talk to your trek leader or guide and inform them about your health if your body is showing signs of altitude sickness.

Not much skill is required for trekking other than a good stamina. You might have to make steep ascents sometimes and a daily walk of about 5-6 hours is required. In the Himalayas, it is particularly dangerous for someone with a heart condition to trek. We expect trekkers to be fit to make this journey. The trails mostly lead into forests and in alpine conditions it is very easy to lose your way. That is the reason why we employ very knowledgeable and experienced guides.

Although you will come across remote villages from time to time and they will help you find your way back but many trekkers who have embarked upon trekking on their own are known to have lost their way and suffered horrible consequences. Taking a guide along is always better if you are not a repeat trekker. The guide will also have a first aid kid in case of emergencies during the trek because safety is always a primary concern while trekking in the Himalayas. You can also encounter wild animals on the way but if you do not bother them they leave you alone.

It is also suggested that you trek during the recommended seasons when there is less rain or snow. It is only during the recommended seasons that you will be safe and also be able to enjoy the clear views of the Himalayas.

LEAVE NO TRACE

Toilets will be available when you take a teahouse/lodge trek, where you must put the toilet paper in a container provided by the lodge. When you do not find a toilet, we recommend that you bury your waste. It is advisable to dig a hole of about 5-6 inches and then bury it and cover it with a rock. Make sure that it is quite far from water source. This is also applicable with toilet tents. We also recommend that you bury the toilet paper. Burning is normally discouraged.

The use of firewood for heating or cooking is not permitted in national parks and forest reserves. Open Campfires are also discouraged by major trekking organizers because campfires are a threat to the sensitive ecology of the Himalayas. This can sometimes also lead to forest fires. At teahouses, you will be provided with hot showers by heating water with metal electric warmers or water heated by animal dung fire. Most organizers will build a place for you to shower even during camping treks.

It is important that we preserve the pristine conditions of the Himalayas and leave it without hampering its natural order. This is the responsibility that every trekker must take. At Himalayan Dreams we ensure that this happens so that in the future even our children and their children can enjoy the pristine beauty of the Himalayas.

We also make sure that no trekker throws away trash on the way while they are walking. The trash, especially those which are not bio-degradable will have to be collected and properly disposed off after you return back from the trek.
