 I need to bring my own sleeping bag?

What date does the trek start?

What trekking gear should I bring from home?

You can buy virtually everything you need for trekking from down jackets to water bottles in Kathmandu. There is a variety of branded stores as well as a large selection of copied products mainly in Thamel that are of fairly good quality. It’s still worth bringing your own gear if it doesn’t take up too much weight, especially your own trekking boots to avoid any potential issues when purchasing new shoes..

What kind of trekking boots do I need?

You should bring trekking boots that are comfortable and broken in. There can be some snow at higher altitudes especially when crossing high passes, so it’s good to be prepared for a variety of conditions. Your footwear should be strong and durable. It should have a chunky sole—preferably made of Vibram or another durable material—and should also protect your ankles..

How much should I tip the guide and porters?

Tipping is not required but is expected, and really depends on how happy you were with the service. Guides (both for trekking and cultural tours), porters, and drivers are typically provided with a tip at the end of their service with you..

Do I have to carry my own gear?

You only need to carry your day pack with daily essentials (sunblock, water, hat, light jacket, and camera) Our porters carry the bulk of your gear, such as extra clothing and overnight essentials

Do the guides speak English & have first aid training?

All of our guides at Himalaya Heart speak English and have had many years of experience in guiding foreign travelers. It’s a requirement that they all are trained in first aid as well and we carry a first aid kit during the trek.

You are never that remote on this trek and there is no chance of altitude sickness. However this is the detail we give to guests on longer treks If you fall ill during your trek, the course of action depends on what’s wrong. If it’s altitude sickness, moving to lower altitudes and taking altitude medication will solve this in most cases; if it’s severe, our guide will arrange for an emergency evacuation by helicopter Himalayan Heart will cover the initial costs then claim from your insurer (be sure that emergency helicopter rescue is covered in your travel insurance it is an essential requirement before travelling with us).

DAY Hiking

Apr 2023 • Couples

We were traveling in Kathmandu, Nagarkot and Bakthapur in April. Our guide was Hari (Yan Pd. Timalsina). The trip was perfectly organized. Starting from picking us up from the airport to bringing us back to the airport. Hari was always there for us, very attentive, always on time and extremely friendly and helpful. We felt very well taken care of by him.

We can definitely recommend Himalaya Heart Treks & Expeditions and especially Hari as a guide.
