Know Before You Go

How long is a day walk?

On average, you will be walking about 5 to 6 hours a day. This depends upon a suitable camping site and availability of water in case of the tented trek and as for Lodge trek, lodging and eating facilities determine where and when you stop. At a higher elevation above 4000 meter, the pace of walking is slower, hence in a day, you would cover about 5 to 6 hours only. All short treks are below 4000-meter elevation.

Some don'ts :

Don’t pollute. Pick up paper, film wrappers and other junks

Take back what you bring in

Burn or bury toilet paper

Don't pass candy, pens, balloons and money to children

Don’t tempt people into thievery by leaving camera, watches and valuables around the camp and lodge.

Don’t endanger the lives of other trekkers, staffs, and porters by insisting to continue on when there is an unforeseen danger on the trail condition.

Do not throw battery and plastics.

Do not swim in the nude.
