Q. What is the role of your guide while we are on
the trekking?
Your guide is extensively trained (Government registered) on safe
operations
and handling both Tea House (Lodge to Lodge) and Camping (Tent to
Tent)
trekking. His primary concern is safety and your enjoyment of the
tour. Your guide is knowledgeable about the Himalayas, altitude sickness,
geography,
Nepali culture and customs as well as flora and fauna of this
special area.
Q. Can we ask questions to your guide as much as we want?
Please, do not hesitate to ask your guide questions. All of the
guides have
a wealth of information and are happy to expand on any topic in
which you
may be interested. They have been trained to provide information
while they
are on the trekking.
Q. Is there an opportunity for me to give feedback regarding my tour
or over
night hotel as well as food and crews?
At the conclusion of your trekking/expedition trip, we will be more
than
happy to share time with you in our head office and sit down for
chatting
about your trip. We do have comment books you can take a moment to
complete
it as your opinion of our service is valuable to us.
Q. Is the tap or stream water safe to drink while we are on the
trekking?
Stream water is clean due to the source of the water (mountain
springs and
glaciers) however due to it gonna be too cold it may effect your
stomach so
you better drink mineral water along the way (you can buy most of
the way)
or boiled water putting yourself Iodine or water purifying tablets.
Q. Should I drink more water than usual?
It deepens how high do you do trekking however trekking in Nepal is
obviously bit in higher places compared to other countries, which
will be
minimum altitude from 1500 mtr. To 5545 mtr. Above the sea level. At
these
altitudes your body can become dehydrated more quickly, and it is
important
that you drink water regularly (4 - 5 liters a day).
Q. Is it customary to give gratuities to my guide and porter for my
trip?
Many of our guests have asked us about the customary practice of
recognizing
exceptional service through tipping. While we consider it your
personal
decision. To be frank and honest with you, everybody gives tips to
our crews
at the end of the tours but minimum to maximum is your decision. In
other
hand only giving money is a not only tip, you may give to them used
clothes,
used equipment etc too.
