Some may wonder if it would be worth it to set up a guided tour. A trek tour through Nepal is offered by many professional guides. Guides can be very affordable and most of the time the price will also include food and drinks. Check around for a good guide they can really help the new trekker get the most out of their trip. Some rather enjoy their trek solo and this is fine. Just make sure that you know where you are going and have an emergency plan if one arises.

When trekking through the beautiful mountains of Nepal you will want to bring a camera or video recorder. The memories you will be able to capture of this wondrous place will entertain you for years to come. Some sights to see while you are on your trek include the beautiful Mount Everest and you can also view the splendid sight of Himalayas. Trekking throughout Nepal isn’t only about the mountain views it’s also about the culture. View the many villages, streams and farms along your trek. Take in the many smells of the different cuisines being cooked up in the small towns. This will be a trip to remember and a good quality camera or video equipment is highly recommended.

Be careful on your trek and watch out for altitude sickness. This ailment can strike the most experienced trekker and cause lots of misery. The symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, nausea, fatigue and problems with sleeping. Make sure not to trek extremely high distances when first starting out trekking in Nepal. The best way to prevent this sickness is to drink plenty of water and take an over the counter motion sickness medication.

What if you’re on your trek in Nepal and an emergency arises? This could be anything from a fall or suddenly falling ill. The best way to be prepared for an emergency is to keep a cell phone or a radio with you to alert emergency personal of your distress. Another good thing to do is to trek in groups. Trekking in groups is always the safer recommended way when Nepal trekking. Always be safe and know who to alert in case of an emergency. Keep a first aid kit with you at all times as well as any medication you may need to take on a daily basis. Be safe and enjoy the many beautiful mountains that Nepal has to offer on your next trekking adventure.
