useful tips for you that will help you to make the trekking experience lifetime

Choose the correct trekking season favorable for you
If you are planning Trekking in

experience will be. Autumn and spring are the most loved trekking season in
Nepal. These seasons offers pleasant climate with very less humidity so you can
have your best time in Nepal Himalayas. The astonishing views of huge mountain
peaks are enough to captivate your mind and heart.

seasons for you. These seasons sees very few trekkers but offers the best views
of high Himalayas. So, you must know well about the right trekking season for
you.
Train yourself before starting EBC trek
Though trekking to Everest
Base Camp Trekking is moderate trek, don’t take it lightly. Walking in the
Himalayas is a tough work and you should be well prepared for it. There are
also some examples of such trekkers who have completed the trek without any
training but previous experiences f trekking in high altitude will help you a
lot while trekking
in Everest region.
You can go for a short trekking in the comparatively lower
hills as the preparation of this trek.
Pack the right trekking gears
It’s very cold in the Himalayas so we recommend you to carry
warm gears that will make you feel comfortable during trekking. Sunglasses and
sun creams, hats are some things you must carry. For more information please
check trekking gears in Nepal Himalayas.
Sleeping bag is essential for all the trekking in higher
altitudes.
Cover yourself from harmful UV rays
As you get in the higher altitude, the risk of harmful UV
rays increases. So, we recommend you to use sunscreen and sunglasses to protect
yourself. Wearing a hat also helps a lot for escape with harmful UV rays while
trekking.
Prepare mentally for Trekking in high Himalayas
Not only physically, you should also be mentally prepared
for successful trekking experience. You should know that walking in the remote
Himalayas is not that easy like your daily walking. As we gain the altitude, walking
gets tougher every day.
You must also be well prepared for unwanted disturbances
like unfavorable weather or cold days and night.
Walk slowly while trekking
Don’t get excited and walk for too long duration or walk
fast in the beginning days. Remember that this is not your last walking day. Additionally,
walking slowly also helps in reducing the risk of AMS.
Be careful of Acute Mountain Sickness
Many trekkers living in the lower altitudes highly face this
problem in higher altitude. If you feel any difficulty, immediately inform your
guide. We, recommend you to not walk too long and dint stay for longer time at
high altitudes. Drinking plenty of water is another way to reducing AMS risk.
Keep yourself hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is a great way to reduce mountain
sickness. We recommend you to drink boiled water in the higher Himalayas as the
water is hard and normal purifier cannot make water 100% pure. Drink cooled
water after boiling, either.
Bring some of your favorite treats
Not all your favorite treats are found in the upper
Himalayas. Bring some of your favorite chocolate bars and energy drinks which
helps you in boosting the energy while trekking and maintain the walking pace.
Enjoy fully!!
And finally, don’t forget that you are here to
enjoy every small moments. Keep an open mind and enjoy the every little changes
in thetrail. We are sure that the incredible Trekking trails
in Nepal Himalayas will give you many lifetime unforgettable memories.
