Luggage during trek
During trek your main luggage will be carried by porter or
pack animals (usually yaks or cross breeds). You simply carry
a day pack with water bottle, camera, sun-screen, spare jacket,
etc. - a small load that allows full enjoyment of the trek.
A trek bag is ideal for your main luggage, plus a small lockable
bag for travel clothes or anything that you do not need during
trek which you can leave at hotel’s locker room/safe
deposit box in Kathmandu for free of charge. Weight allowance
at Nepal’s domestic airlines is 15 Kgs, excess weight
is chargeable at USD 1 or more per Kilo depending on sectors.
CARE FOR PORTERS & STAFF
We ensure that all porters and all other staff going into
high altitude conditions are provided with adequate clothing
and equipment. We are the first ever company to supply high-altitude
porters with crampons.
We run the trek according to the guidelines of the International
Porter Protection group (IPPG - www.ippg.net).
