FAQs

1What is Trekking?

The term trekking is not only limited to the mountain climbing. This is an adventure activity, in which people walk deep in into the hills and visit unfamiliar remote regions which requires more time and effort.

2Duration for Trekking?

This totally depends on the region and the area on which people are planning for trekking. Usually this adventure activity can range from 2-3 days to months or even longer. However duration of Trekking can also be different in the same route depending upon the tour company and trekkers. We can customize the duration of the trekking according to the requirement of our clients as well.

3Is trekking difficult?

This also depends upon the region, route and the duration on which trekking is done. If the duration is short and the route is easy then trekking is easy. But if the duration is long and route is moderate or hard then trekking is difficult. One more thing, for trekking we advise all trekkers to be physically fit and healthy.

4Lodging and Fooding in Trekking?

For short duration trekking we will arrange food and lodging accordingly. For long duration trekking we will have our own cook along with us in the trekking activity. There will be loads of tea houses, hotels and restaurants on the trail side so, lodging and fooding won’t be a problem. Just relax we will only be stopping on the tea house, hotels and restaurants that serve hygienic food items and room stay.

5Best time for Trekking?

Usually best time for trekking is autumn season (which is October to November) and spring season (end of February to April). Short duration trekking can be done during the winter season as well.

6Details about weather while Trekking?

Weather during Trekking in Nepal is unpredictable. Generally, we perform trekking after paying full attention to weather forecast. There is a saying that prevention is better than cure, so we need to be fully prepared for sudden weather change while trekking.

7Clothes that is required for Trekking?

8Can trekking equipment be rented?

9Will medics be available in Trekking?

We would have never made it without them! Krishna made sure our guides were well taken care of and well rested before each leg of the trek, which made us feel slightly less guilty that they were carrying about ten times as much as we were. I highly recommend Himalayan Exodus Treks & Tours to everyone, and hope to be back to use them again soon!

In addition I would like to add that the pre-departure information we received from Himalayan was excellent – clear, detailed enough and easy to follow. The follow-up service has also been excellent. It is amazing to find a company in this day and age which really does take its clients feedback
