Physical Fitness: Moderate fitness is essential, as the trek involves daily walking of 5-7 hours and altitudes up to 3,700m (Mu Gompa).
Best Season: The ideal time to trek is March-May (spring) and September-November (autumn) for clear skies and pleasant weather.
Accommodation: Basic teahouse accommodations are available along the route, with limited amenities.
Meals: Expect simple yet hearty meals, including dal bhat (rice and lentils), noodles, and Tibetan bread.
Guided Experience: A guide is mandatory due to the restricted area regulations, ensuring safety and cultural insights.
Packing Essentials: Warm clothing, good trekking shoes, a sleeping bag, and personal essentials are recommended.
Altitude Considerations: Acclimatization days are built into the itinerary to minimize the risk of altitude sickness.
This trek takes you to a remote and sacred valley, so be prepared for basic facilities, awe-inspiring landscapes, and a transformative cultural experience.
Typical Location: The meeting point is usually a pre-arranged hotel in Kathmandu. Customers will be informed of the exact location beforehand. Identifying the Area: Look for a designated spot within the hotel, such as the lobby or a conference room, where the trek organizer will gather participants. The organizer will share these details, so check your communication for specific instructions. Activities at the Meeting Point: There may be a briefing session to review the itinerary and answer questions, as well as an equipment check to ensure you're fully prepared for the trek. Communication: The trekking company will provide clear guidance about where and when to meet. If you’re unsure, contact the company for confirmation. Additional Notes: Since landmarks at hotels may not always be distinctive, rely on the instructions provided and look out for staff or signs from the trekking company to guide you.
