Is the Forest Camp accommodation in a tea house or in tents?

All the accomodation is on the tea houses no tent.

What is the difference between tea-house trekking and camping trekking tours in Nepal?

In Nepal, generally, you can do two types of trekking by staying in tea-houses or camping. In the tea-houses trekking tours, you will do the trekking by resting the night at the lodges or the tea houses at different places on the trekking trails. On the other hand, camping trekking tours will be trekking by resting the night at camps, the camps can be set up at the different parts of the trekking trails for the convenience of the group.

What types of food will be served during the treks?

While trekking in Nepal, meals are prepared in tea houses with a good standard of hygiene, including fruit and vegetables which are soaked in iodine water before being cooked. The food along the trail will be simple and a mix of local and international cuisine. If the trekking is camping trekking, then you will mainly be served the local foods of Nepal as well as continental and western foods. Due to the lack of electricity and refrigerators along the trekking routes, you will eat a largely vegetarian diet.

What essential documents/items do you require to join a tour?

On any of the tours you must bring a valid passport (must be valid for up to 6 months, keep an extra photocopy just in case), a copy of your travel insurance, cash, flight tickets, emergency contact numbers of insurance and family members and any medications.

How do you treat altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness can be one of the problems you occur whilst you trek the high altitudes of Nepal. However, there are certain measures that can be applied while trekking at high altitudes which help trekkers to avoid altitude sickness altogether. If you seem to get altitude sickness your guide has several provisions for first aid and medicines to help you recover as soon as possible.

Do the porters carry the luggage on the treks?

On the treks porters will be available to carry your belongings how please keep in mind that your bags need to be 12kgs or less, any extra luggage you have can be left at your hotel in Kathmandu while away on the trek. Generally, each trekker will carry a small day-bag, fleece jacket, waterproofs, warm hat, sunhat, sunscreen and a water bottle.
