Your health and safety are our top priorities. While trekking in Nepal, staying hydrated, eating freshly prepared meals, and getting adequate rest are essential to keeping your energy up and avoiding fatigue.

As you ascend into higher elevations, your body needs more water than usual—aim to drink at least 3 to 4 liters a day. Though clean drinking water is available along the trail, we strongly advise using refillable bottles with purification tablets or filters, especially since plastic bottled water has been banned along the Everest Base Camp route since 2020.

One of the key challenges of high-altitude trekking is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which is caused by reduced oxygen levels at elevation. It can affect anyone, regardless of physical condition or trekking experience. Our routes are designed with acclimatization in mind, and our expert guides are trained to monitor and manage symptoms before they become serious.

To stay healthy, we also recommend bringing a basic medical kit, consulting your doctor about vaccinations or preventive medications, and always listening to your body. Trekking smart, pacing yourself, and staying hydrated will go a long way toward ensuring a safe and unforgettable experience in the Himalayas.

Arrival & Visas

Most international travelers will arrive in Nepal via Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. Our team can arrange airport pickup and assist you with transfers to your hotel.

Tourist visas are easily obtainable upon arrival at the airport or in advance through the online visa application. You’ll need a valid passport and a recent passport-sized photo. Visa fees vary by duration — typically available for 15, 30, or 90 days.

For the latest visa requirements, we recommend checking the official website of the Department of Immigration of Nepal before your trip.

Best Time to Visit Nepal

Spring (March to May) – Warm weather, blooming rhododendrons, and great trekking conditions make spring a favorite among travelers.

Autumn (September to November) – Clear skies and panoramic mountain views make this the most popular season for trekking and festivals like Dashain and Tihar.

Winter (December to February) – Ideal for exploring cultural sites with fewer crowds. Lower regions remain comfortably cool while higher altitudes get snow.

Monsoon (June to August) – Though trekking is limited due to rain, this is the best time for lush scenery, peaceful travel, and visiting rain-shadow areas like Mustang.

Flying to Lukla

The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is often described as one of the most scenic and thrilling short flights in the world. Lukla Airport, perched at an altitude of 2,860 meters (9,383 ft), serves as the gateway to the Everest region.

Flights are typically scheduled in the early morning to avoid weather disruptions. It's important to note that delays or cancellations can occur due to changing mountain weather conditions, so we recommend allowing some buffer days in your itinerary.
