Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need to be specially fit for this trek?

 No. Recreation and walking in the nature during weekends would do. We recommend aerobic sports such as jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. This should be exercises with long duration and low intensity. Heart rate should not exceed 130 to 140 per minute.

 What temperatures could we expect there at this time of the year?

 Temperatures in Kathmandu are approximately +30°C In Himalayas, you first fly to Lukla village at 2800m.It means that from 2800m to 5100 (the highest point at which you will step) at that time of the year temperature is approximately +20°C during the day and 0°C in the nightIt could rain during the day and above 3500m snow in the night. If snowing, it lasts for 2 to 3 hours and then the sun quickly melts it all. The most often, at this time of the year, it is dry with neither rain nor snow.

 Do we have basic conditions for hygiene maintenance?

Hygiene:Each lodge, in which we stay has toilet and bathroom. You must tell landlords to warm up the water for shower since boilers do not exist!You will sleep in double bedrooms in your sleeping bag since this remains the cleanest and warmest option. Lodges are made of stone and wood.

 What is the distance that we approximately walk in a day?

Daily trek:Distances are not measured in kilometers but hours. In a single day we walk between 3 and 6 hours. Shortest daily walk is 3 and longest 6 hours. Of course, we do not  walk for 6 hours non-stop. Our principle is to walk for an hour, then we pop into the village for a short break and tee and then carry on.
