Trek security
Security of our clients is the foremost important for us.
All our guides and other support crew are carefully chosen
for your trips, all our guides are licensed by Nepal Government.
They are absolutely honest who you can trust your life with;
they will ensure that you do not have any feeling of insecurity
throughout your trip.
If you are on ‘camping trek’ please do not
leave your bags unattended at any time for your own safety.
Take your main bag inside the tent once they reach campsite.
At night, put all bags and belongings in the middle of the
tent. Your guide assigns a Sherpa on turnwise basis to guard
the campsite throughout the night.
If you are on ‘Tea house or GAP trek’ arrangement,
you will be sleeping in local tea house. You have to take
sensible precautions yourself at all times. Never leave
your baggage unattended and keep your lodge room locked
when you go out. More information on Nepal’s security
assessment available at ‘Safety updates’
MEDICAL SUPPLY
You will need to get your own local medical advice about
suitable inoculations and any prophylactics before departure.
The major health concern on a trek is altitude related illness
or Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS, DISCUSSED IN DETAIL UNDER
ALTITUDE SICKNESS SECTION). All our high altitude treks/climbs
are equipped with life saving equipments like Gammov Bag,
Oxygen and a set of Medical kit as suggested in Dr. Jim
Duff’s list of medicine for trekkers. Since our staffs/guides
are not qualified for suggesting medications to western
clients, we would request you to use the medicines upon
your own risk for your comfort, a printed verse of the standard
manual stating the use of included medicines are made available
in the medical kit. Principally it is safe and reliable
if you have your own list of medicines supplied and so not
depend on what we have.
RESCUE/ EMERGENCY EVACUATION
In the case of a serious sickness or a casualty, which we
believe will not happen; you shall be rescued by a helicopter.
Since you are entirely liable for all the expenses incurred
in evacuation please make sure that it is covered by your
insurance before assigning for it or be prepared to pay
on your own after getting back in Kathmandu. Ask your guide
to arrange a runner to the nearest communication point and
inform office about requirement of a helicopter. While asking
for the helicopter, please send name of the sick person
and give exact location from where helicopter can airlift
you. Do not leave the place although you are getting better
once you have ordered Helicopter.
INSURANCE
Your insurance is not included in our trek cost. We insure
all our staff. Please ensure that you arrange your own insurance
for emergency evacuation, personal effects, personal accident,
medical travel expenses, baggage, cancellation etc.
