Trekking Conditions

1. Hotels & Equipment

For the cultural portion we use three to four star hotels mentioned under cultural packages, but whereas on the trek, we only use A-Shape two men sleeping tents or dome tents which are water, wind and snow proof. All the equipments used will be in good conditions.

2. Staffs & Services

Trekking tours are accompanied by trekking licensed chef, trained waiter and ponies for luggage. Trekkers get to walk freely with just your day pack/back pack, which includes light rain gear, cameras, light jacket and other necessary items. All your luggage, tents, kitchen utensils, grocery and vegetable items will be carried by ponies.

3. Riding ponies on Trek

Riding ponies on treks are not easily available, therefore we advise our trekkers to build good walking stamina, if you need, please inform us at least a week before the trek or during the time of booking.

4. Food on Trek

Energy giving snacks/chocolates along with teas will be served whenever needed or twice in a day. We serve high quality foods, at least three to four item meals and hot lunch most of the time. Trekkers may put on request if you practice special diet.
