Anything that you will need during the day, like rain gear, a warm layer, a water bottle, sunscreen, basic toiletries, your phone, and camera, money, important documents, and a few snacks, goes in your day bag. A 15-25 liters bag is your ideal daypack. It is advised to buy a good quality bag with adjustable waist straps, as good load distribution makes all the difference.

Etiquette & Culture: It’s important to make sure we are respectful towards Nepalese customs and rituals. When encircling temples, monasteries and stupas, always remember to walk in a clockwise direction. Besides, a respectful way to greet the elderly is by slightly bowing down. ‘Namaste’ is the common greeting in the country.

Dress code for entering heritage sites: Dressing in a respectful manner is important while entering heritage sites. You are advised to wear full pants/long skirts, and full-sleeved tops/shirts. Kindly avoid half pants/skirts or any kind of revealing clothes. Do not wear hats and remove shoes while entering a holy site.

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.

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.

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.

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.
