A teahouse trek is quite common, even if it is a locally owned guesthouse. In tourist areas like Annapurna, Everest, and Langtang-Helambu, you can have western, continental, and Nepalese meals (Dal Bhat). Also, you can access comfortable lodging with adjacent bathrooms with hot and cold showers generally available in most places. Teahouse treks are well regarded. You may stay in comfortable teahouses and lodges during this sort of hiking and enjoy excellent meals. Teahouse trekking is more appropriate for small and large groups because it is less expensive than camping.

The perfect name for a camping trek is a Fully Organized Supported Trek. Camping treks are structured similarly to exploratory or mountaineering excursions. A crew of guides, cooks, sherpas, and porters will join you on the camping trek. Our cooks and assistants prepare hot meals and take them out, while our porters carry all necessary trekking equipment, food, fuel, and personal things. Hikers should bring only a small bag or the essentials for the day. They are given dining, sleeping, and bathroom tents for the night. Additionally, they are given beds and down sleeping bags, which are all transported by the group. Even chairs and tables are transported.

A typical camping trip starts at six a.m. with a cup of hot tea and a basin of warm water for washing and cleaning. After collecting the possessions and daypacks, the trekkers can leave their tent and enjoy breakfast. The stroll begins at about 7.30 a.m. and until 8 a.m.

After our well-trained workers have packed all the camping gear and supplies, the porters will deliver them to the following camping location. They should bring any personal supplies the hikers might need for the day, such as water bottles, rain gear, a camera, etc.

The trekkers' options will be determined by how much time they want to spend appreciating the breathtaking surroundings, taking photos, relaxing, or halting for a minute. Usually, walking to lunch takes three hours. Our cook and helper will prepare a delicious supper when you arrive. After walking for 3 to 4 hours, you should arrive at the camp at about 4 or 5 p.m. You may enjoy tea and snacks while our sherpa sets up camp. We serve dinner at 6 or 7 p.m. in the dining tent, which we furnish with a table and camping equipment, and light a pressured bulb. Every camp provides high-quality tents, foam and mattresses, and a basic toilet tent.

Throughout the trek, our expert cook and assistant will prepare various nutritious dishes.

First, DON'T PANIC if you get sick from a high altitude. Always ensure you have a complete medical kit with the necessary supplies and enough insurance if we need to evacuate you. Walking through the hills will inevitably result in sprains, muscular pains, and a mild case of diarrhea. If you adhere to a few straightforward guidelines, you may mainly avoid altitude sickness. Drink at least 2 liters of water daily (excluding alcohol or soft drinks! ), hike high, sleep low, and BE SENSIBLE. Tell your porter or guide and take a moment to relax if you have shortness of breath, a slight headache, or dizziness. Lay down and sip some water.

Do not walk down alone and do not act as though everything is fine. You could be capable of starting your trip again tomorrow with just a few hundred meters of drop during the night. Visit www.high-altitude-medicine.com for additional details. This fantastic website has all the information you want and a Nepali phonetic questionnaire for your porter. Altitude sickness may affect porters just like it might anyone else.

If you are moving slowly over an easy path, the porter or guide could occasionally go ahead of you. It is typically done to find an excellent site to dine or spend the night.

October through early December and March/April are the ideal months for hiking in Nepal. Except for treks in the Himalayan rain shadow like Upper Mustang, Dolpo, and Kailash, it is not particularly suitable for hiking during the monsoon season from June to August.

A trekking vacation should never be about rushing to the destination. In reality, most of the time, the destination is irrelevant. Walking in the mountains is about taking in the scenery and the people. The porter/guide is paid per day, and any disparities may be made up when you return. Remember, it's your vacation, and as long as you have fun, the time spent is essentially unimportant. Weather or sickness may force you to turn around, wait it out, or take a another path. Not a problem!
