Kathmandu Valley Rim Trek

Fitness is certainly a very important aspect for Kathmandu Valley Rim Trekking. You need to have an optimum fitness level to trek. Pre-trekking work out and small hiking can be greatly helpful.

The number of guides and porters depends upon the size of the group. Generally a group will have a group leader or a guide, and Porters for carrying your baggage packs and all the camping gear. One porter will carry two trekkers’ baggage.

Mostly 3-4 liters is sufficient. You will be able to refill bottles at lunch time. When you are in high altitude you have to drink more water to get rid of altitude sickness.

Yes you do need a trekking pole, it helps you save energy in high ascend and descend, if you have weak hips and knees and it helps to reduce the strain.

Trekking independently is doable, but involves seen and unforeseen risks. On the other hand trekking with the recognized agencies gives you the advantage of trekking under a systematic and a well-planned schedule. Most of the time, you will be travelling with a group. 

The agency will also provide you with a guide and a porter. Trekking with an agency will be a little more expensive than trekking independently or solo.

Travel insurance in Nepal is one of the wisest things to do which we ideally recommend while traveling to Nepal. Although It is not a legal requirement to have travel insurance while travelling in Nepal but secures your trip in terms of uncertainties.

In case of an emergency evacuation, while trekking you can directly contact us on the number provided instantly. Upon receipt of your detailed information we react as quickly as possible to rescue you out of danger situations safely. 

A simple medical kit can be lifesaving without taking much space in your baggage. You never know what could go wrong; however you need not worry at all.  Our guides do carry a medical first aid kit hand with them for treating any kind of basic illness during the trek. 

Autumn (Sept to Nov) and spring (Feb to April) are considered to be the best seasons to visit Nepal for trekking. As autumn brings clarity after monsoon washes away the dust and bugs; spring days are warmer and longer which allows you to explore for longer hours.

The trails are blossoming with fresh leaves and flowers. The clear skies allow you to get a great view of the magnificent Himalayas.

It varies with each trip of course. On an average we cover 4–7 hours per day, with a lunch break of 1–2 hours in the middle. 

No, there aren’t any age restrictions. We design a trek for children/teenagers/ pensioners.

Yes, it is ok and they really get a kick out of seeing themselves in print but please ask permission first! If you take photographs, please make copies and send them back to us and we will make sure they get delivered to the people on your trek.

Your guide will be in charge of all your water needs. He will make sure all water is boiled and treated with iodine. Iodine is 100% effective in killing the bacteria in water.

Absolutely yes, we do customize the itinerary as per your wish. However you need to inform it in advance before the trek starts. Sometimes, because of unforeseen circumstances in the mountains, we need to change the itinerary. However, the date of trek completion should always be in line with the pre-established itinerary.

You can have easy access to communication but in remote areas we use satellite phone. So communication won’t be an issue.

Tipping is not necessary although tipping for guide and staff is good practice, porter and guide expect tip, your tip helps their family.
