How do I make a preliminary booking? To make a preliminary booking of an adventure - click "Book here" in the upper right corner of the selected adventure page. The preliminary booking form will appear and you will be able to proceed to checkout. The preliminary booking form also allows you to add side trips to your trek. You can book these by following the same procedure described above. How difficult are the treks? This depends on where you want to trek, the altitude and the duration of the trek. The shorter treks tend to be easier while the longer ones require more physical fitness. Be aware that the high altitude, thin air and your current fitness also will play a major part in your interpretation of the word "difficult". Will we have private rooms and bathrooms? Private rooms are available in all tea houses except for those at very high altitude, although most bathrooms are shared. A Nepal Alternative trek ensures that you will have clean sleeping bags, new liners and pillows each night. Is the water safe to drink? Your guide will be in charge of all the water you need. He will make sure all water is boiled or treated with iodine. Iodine is 100% effective in killing water-borne bacteria. What type of shoes or boots should I wear? That depends on the type of trek. Shorter treks at low altitudes can be done in running shoes while longer, more demanding treks at high altitudes require sturdy trekking or hiking boots. It is best to buy shoes and boots before arriving in Nepal, and to break them in before arriving for your trek. When is the trekking season? The best time to trek is from September to May. The first two months of the dry season - October and November, when it is still comfortably warm - are ideal for trekking in Nepal. December, January and February are still good months for trekking, but it can be bitterly cold at high altitudes. What weather can I expect? Weather affects everything in Nepal and trekking is no exception. Sudden rain storms or snow flurries are always a possibility. The weather during the trekking season is somewhat more stable. Nepal Alternative treks will at all times pay close attention to weather reports during your trek. What about the risk of altitude sickness? Nepal Alternative Treks will always give our customers the necessary time to acclimatize to higher altitudes. Our guides and helpers are trained to spot any signs of altitude sickness and know how to react. What happens if there is an emergency? Our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that can occur during a trek. If an emergency occurs, professional help from a rescue organization will be needed. That is why every client should have their own emergency rescue and health insurance arranged before coming to Nepal. If an emergency occurs, Nepal Alternative Treks will cover the initial cost of an evacuation until your insurance company can deliver payment. How much money should I bring for the trek? The amount of money you bring on a trek depends on you. Cold sodas during the day and an occasional beer after a long day of trekking can be awfully nice.
