You will be accompanied by experienced and knowledgeable naturalists equipped with a first aid kit. Always follow their instructions and stick to designated paths. Venturing alone into the bushes and water bodies can be dangerous.
Respect wildlife by maintaining a safe distance and avoiding any provocation. Your guide will brief you on how to handle various animal encounters. Keep movements and noise to a minimum.
Wear neutral-colored clothes (avoid red and white) to avoid attracting wildlife. Opt for full-sleeved clothes and proper shoes for jungle walks. Carry sanitizer and bug spray to protect against bugs and mosquitoes.
Never feed the wild animals and ensure that food is securely stored during a safari. Water safety is crucial, so drink only boiled water or use water purification methods like SteriPEN, LifeStraw, or purification tablets.

Leave no Trace: Please don’t litter, and also dispose any trash properly (you can hand them to your guide). Plucking flowers and vandalizing trails is off limits. We’ll leave the beautiful trails as we found them.
A Few Rules: Any form of physical violence or verbal abuse, harassment, solicitation of prostitution, or possession or use of illegal drugs or illicit materials is strictly prohibited.
Alcohol and Drugs Policy: Heavy alcohol consumption dehydrates your body and doesn’t pair well with trekking for obvious safety reasons. We recommend you limit your alcohol intake to a minimal amount during day time. Let’s wait till the evening to raise a glass or two.
No Handouts of any kind: Giving money or handouts of any kind to beggars and children is strictly prohibited, as it only promotes begging culture.
Photography and Drones: It’s advisable to ask permission of the locals before taking their photos, although by experience we can tell that they love being photographed. Strict drone policies are enforced throughout Nepal – so please don’t fly drones on the trip.
Travelling in a Group: What makes group travel fun is the diversity. This also means that there will be people of all different ages, physical fitness, and walking pace. Please be mindful and respect the time allocated by your lead guide to avoid any inconvenience to the group.
Please print and fill up the Booking Form. It’s pretty simple and short, please let us know if we can help you with it.
We’ll send terms and conditions, along with payment details. To confirm your spot, please pay 50% of the trip cost in advance.
Note: Full payment to be made at least 7 days before trip departure.
A few days before the trip, the lead guide will host a small briefing to discuss logistics and safety matters, and also answer any questions you have.
Do some light training and set your gears. Then off to the mountains we go!
Stay in the know and never miss hike announcements!
