The menu includes local, Asian, and Western dishes, but it gets more straightforward as you climb higher. Try popular Nepali foods like lentils, rice, curry, dumplings, noodles, Spagaties, and many more.
We highly recommend eating fresh vegetables and drinking liquids like green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, and garlic soup, especially at high altitudes. While non-vegetarian options are available during the Trek, we suggest avoiding them for hygiene reasons. It's also best to steer clear of dairy, cheese, alcohol, caffeine, and hot chocolate. Personal expenses like alcoholic drinks and extra beverages at lodges or cafes aren't included in the package.
Extra Personal Expenses:

Most of these tea houses let travelers charge their devices for a small fee. The average electrical voltage in Nepal is 230 volts, with plug types like Type C, Type D, and Type M. Travellers should bring a suitable adapter and, if needed, a voltage converter for their electronic devices."

Drinking more than three liters of water trekking in higher terrain to prevent dehydration. Staying hydrated while trekking in Nepal's Himalayan region is crucial for your safety. You can find water taps in some areas but must ensure before drink. While mineral water is available in guest houses along popular routes, it can be costly. However, in the Annapurna region, safe water stations allow you to refill your water bottle safely.

A good suggestion is to bring a water filter, iodine drops, water purification tablets, and a Steri pen to treat water from streams or other natural sources along the trail.

Important Note

Best time to travel to Nepal :

Nepal, a land of breathtaking diversity, boasts towering mountain ranges, lush forests, and a vibrant cultural heritage. The best time to embark on your journey to Nepal is a decision that should be guided by your preferences and the type of excursions or events you wish to partake in. Nepal, with its four distinct seasons, each offering unique charms and challenges, is a destination that promises to leave you in awe.

Autumn Season: September to November is Nepal's best time for trekking and outdoor activities. Clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and festivals like Dashain Tihar and Chhat make this period ideal for experiencing Nepali culture.

Winter Season: Cold temperatures start in late November or early December, but clear skies suit budget travelers. Lower-elevation treks and skiing/snowboarding in ski resorts are popular activities.

Spring Season: From late February to May, warmer temperatures make it perfect for trekking. Rhododendrons bloom, adding to the scenic beauty. Celebrations like Holi and Buddha Jayanti occur during this time.

Summer Season: Monsoon rains from June to August make trekking challenging, but it's a great time to experience lush greenery and agriculture. Ideal for peace seekers and cultural tours of cities accessible by road.

Flight and weather conditions:

Flights depend on weather conditions and are often postponed or canceled due to low visibility and weather conditions. The airport's location makes it one of the world's most dangerous, with a short runway on a steep slope that makes it challenging for pilots. Lukla Airport has a short runway on a steep slope, making it challenging for pilots due to the rugged terrain. Unpredictable weather can lead to flight delays or cancellations, adding a touch of adventure to your plans. Please prepare for the plan; we strongly recommend allocating an additional three days in case of unfavorable weather conditions. This will help avoid long-day waits in Ramechhap. However, Lukla flights depart from Ramechhap/Manthali during peak seasons in March, April, May, October, and November. Ramechhap/Manthali is approximately a 4-to 5-hour drive from Kathmandu. Conversely, flights operate from Kathmandu during non-peak seasons, such as January, February, June, July, August, September, and December. Flights from Kathmandu take about 35 minutes, while flights from Ramechhap take 15-20 minutes. 

Alternatives like helicopter flights or ground transportation exist if your flight is canceled for over two days. We advise you to fly to Phaplu and start your trek from Phaplu or opt for a 4WD drive to Salleri and start your trekking or Annapurna Basecamp Trekking and begin your journey. This will help avoid long-day waits in Ramechhap. However, these options might extend your itinerary. We recommend booking your flights in advance, especially during peak seasons, to avoid such situations. This ensures you have a seat reserved and reduces the risk of last-minute changes to your itinerary.

 

Entry and exit requirements at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal:

Upon arrival at the entry point, all baggage undergoes declaration and clearance through customs. Passengers arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) without access to goods may proceed through the Green Channel for swift clearance without luggage checks.

Before departing Nepal, it is crucial to possess a valid visa and passport. If your Visa has expired, you must extend it before being permitted to leave. Please note that the Immigration office at Tribhuvan International Airport is not authorized and allowed to extend visas.

Entry permit and requirements (About Visa) 

On-Arrival Visa Fee at Entry Points in Nepal:

15 Days – 30 USD

30 Days – 50 USD

90 Days – 125 USD 

To visit Nepal, you need a valid passport and a visa. You can quickly get an arrival visa at entry points or Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. However, some people need a permit before they come, so it's good to check with the nearest Nepalese embassy.

Some nationalities that don't get visas from immigration entry points in Nepal are Nigeria, Iraq, Ghana, Afghanistan, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Palestine, and Ethiopia.

There are three types of visas, as in the table below:

 

Depending on how long you want to stay. You can pay in US $ dollars or other significant currencies, sometimes even Nepalese rupees.

If you're coming for business, you can get a suitable visa for up to 5 years. The fee depends on how much money you're investing. If you invest less than 10 million Nepalese rupees, it's $35 per month, $400 per year, or $1000 for five years. If you invest more, the fees are lower; if you invest more than 100 million Nepalese rupees, you don't have to pay any fees.

People from SAARC countries get a free 30-day visa. Indians don't need a visa, but they must show ID, like a passport or citizenship card. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months. And it's a good idea to have travel insurance which covers medical treatment and emergency evacuation.Some places in Nepal require a separate permit to visit. 

TIMS and Permit:

When you planning to go to the Everest Base Camp Trek, you need three different permits to enter Everest: the Khumbu Pasang Lamu Rural Municipality Permit, the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, and the TIMS card.

Khumbu Pasanglamu Rural municipality permit is necessary to enter the Khumbu region. It can obtained in Lukla or Monjo. For foreigners, it costs NPR 2000 (USD 17) per person for the first four weeks and NPR 2500 (USD 25) afterward. Remember, you can't get this permit in Kathmandu.

TIMS Card The TIMS card is essential for guides, porters, and clients in emergencies. It costs USD 20 and is issued by TAAN Nepal via a registered Trekking company.

Sagarmatha National Park entry permit, 3300Rs Per person, Rs 26 US$ in equivalent.

Travel Insurance:

Asiana Treks and Tours strongly advises our valuable clients to have travel insurance that protects adventurous activities at high altitudes above 6,000 m. This comprehensive coverage, which includes accidents and emergency help, will provide you with the peace of mind you need during your high-altitude adventure.

However, you can get this insurance online from different companies. Here are some popular choices for people who are trekking to Everest Base Camp.

USA and Canada: Tugo, United Health Care, World Nomad, Blue Cross

Australia and New Zealand: Fast Cover, Allianz Australia

Singapore: Ergo, World Nomad Explore plan level 3.

Europe: Europe Assistance, Austrian Alpine Club, Allianz Europe.

India: ICICI Lombard

But make sure the policy covers trekking up to 5985,000 m altitude. These are just suggestions, so the policies and what they cover might vary. It's best to contact these insurers directly to ask about what they offer before you buy anything.

Altitude Sickness and Acclimatisation:

Altitude sickness is common among hikers in Nepal's Himalayan Region. It happens when the body doesn't get enough oxygen at higher elevations, causing headaches and dizziness. Acclimatization is essential to prevent this. It means gradually getting used to higher altitudes by resting, drinking fluids, and ascending slowly. Spending an extra day at lower elevations before going higher is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Hydration is the main issue during trekking to prevent dehydration, which can worsen altitude sickness. Drinking plenty of water, tea, and soup can help. Trekkers can also take medicines like acetazolamide or dexamethasone to relieve symptoms, but it's best to consult a doctor first. Proper acclimatization techniques, like "climb high, sleep low," and staying hydrated, can reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Booking with an experienced guide can ensure you get the right advice and help during your trek.

Fitness and Training:

Trekking and climbing in Nepal's high-altitude Himalayas demand a certain level of physical fitness and training for a safe and enjoyable journey. Trekking often involves walking long distances, sometimes for several hours a day, over various terrains and at high altitudes. To prepare your body and build endurance, it's advisable to start engaging in fitness activities a few months before your trip, including cardio, strength, and endurance training.

With the right physical fitness, training, and preparation, your journey to Nepal can be both safe and successful. We understand the risks and challenges that come with trekking in the high-terrain Himalayas, and we have taken necessary safety measures to ensure your trip is fun and secure. Your safety is our top priority, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Packing Checklist:

When planning a trip to Nepal, packing the right gear is crucial for a successful journey. This includes clothing, equipment, and accessories tailored to your trek and the time of year. If you're trekking, pack light unless you're hiring a porter. Consider renting or buying gear in Nepal to save space. Ensure your equipment is high-quality and in good condition to avoid problems in the mountains. Take our suggestions to prepare your baggage correctly. Lastly, double-check the weather forecast and ensure you have all the necessary items for a safe and comfortable trip.

Typical Day:

Each day of the Trek brings new experiences as you explore different places, enjoy breathtaking landscapes, and converse with locals to learn more about their customs and culture. Our guides will provide information about the places you visit. Trekking usually starts around 7-8 am, depending on the distance to cover and the terrain. We'll stop for lunch after about three hours of Trekking, usually on the way to our destination for the day. After lunch, you'll have an hour to rest before continuing the Trek. The afternoon trek is shorter, and once we reach our destination, you'll have time to explore until it gets dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Annapurna Jomsom with Tilicho Lake Trek is a spectacular 19-day trekking adventure that combines the best of the Annapurna region's high-altitude landscapes, ancient villages, and sacred lakes. Organized by Asiana Treks and Tours, this route takes you through the heart of Mustang and Manang while also including a visit to Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world (4,919 meters). This trek offers a striking contrast of barren trans-Himalayan terrain and lush valleys, alongside panoramic views of Annapurna I, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and Tilicho Peak. The cultural diversity—ranging from Gurung and Thakali villages to Tibetan-influenced settlements—adds incredible depth to this journey.

The itinerary starts with your arrival in Kathmandu, followed by a drive to the trailhead at Chamje. From there, you begin the classic Annapurna Circuit route ascending through Dharapani, Chame, and Pisang to reach the beautiful village of Manang. From Manang, a side trip to Tilicho Lake offers breathtaking alpine views. After rejoining the trail, you cross the Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters)—the highest point of the trek—and descend to the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath, followed by exploration of the arid landscapes of Jomsom and the Kali Gandaki Valley. The trek concludes with a scenic flight or drive back to Pokhara and then to Kathmandu. Asiana Treks and Tours manages all logistics, including transportation, permits, accommodations, and meals throughout the journey.

This trek is considered challenging due to its duration, high elevation, and the crossing of Thorong La Pass, which is over 5,400 meters. The side trip to Tilicho Lake also involves steep ascents and exposure to altitude. It is ideal for trekkers with prior multi-day hiking experience and a good level of fitness. Asiana Treks and Tours builds in sufficient acclimatization days, and your guide will monitor your condition closely to ensure safety and comfort at all times.

The optimal seasons for this trek are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). During these times, the skies are generally clear, temperatures are moderate, and trails are in excellent condition. Spring is especially beautiful with blooming rhododendrons and vibrant landscapes, while autumn offers dry, stable weather and superb mountain visibility. Winter is not advisable due to heavy snowfall on the Thorong La Pass, and the monsoon (June to August) brings risk of landslides and cloud-covered views.

Throughout the trek, you will stay in teahouses and mountain lodges that offer simple but comfortable accommodation with basic amenities, such as shared bathrooms and limited hot water. Rooms are generally twin-sharing. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, you’ll be accommodated in well-appointed 3-star category hotels. Meals during the trek include breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, featuring a variety of traditional Nepali, Tibetan, and basic Western dishes. Asiana Treks and Tours ensures that all food is fresh, hygienic, and suited for high-altitude trekking.

Yes, you’ll need several permits to complete this trek. These include the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card. For travelers passing through Mustang or other restricted zones (depending on the final route), additional permits may be required. Asiana Treks and Tours arranges all necessary documentation on your behalf as part of the package.

For this high-altitude trek, it's essential to pack layered clothing, including thermal base layers, a warm down jacket, windproof outerwear, trekking pants, gloves, and a hat. You’ll also need a 4-season sleeping bag, high-quality trekking boots, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a headlamp. A refillable water bottle, trekking poles, a small daypack, and personal medications are also recommended. Asiana Treks and Tours provides a complete packing checklist once your booking is confirmed, and porters are available to carry your main luggage during the trek.

Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory. Your insurance must cover high-altitude trekking, emergency helicopter evacuation, medical care, and trip interruption or cancellation. Trekking at this altitude involves inherent risks, so having robust insurance is both a safety precaution and a requirement by the tour operator.

Absolutely. Asiana Treks and Tours is known for offering tailor-made trekking solutions. You can adjust the itinerary based on your schedule, interests, and fitness level. Whether you’d like extra acclimatization days, prefer a private group, or want to combine the trek with other destinations like Poon Hill, Tukuche, or even Chitwan National Park, the company can personalize your adventure for the best experience.

Asiana Treks and Tours incorporates acclimatization days, such as in Manang, to help you adapt gradually. Guides are trained to recognize symptoms of altitude sickness and carry basic first-aid. If necessary, descent or evacuation is arranged promptly. Hydration, slow ascent, and rest are emphasized throughout.

The highest point of the trek is Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters (17,769 feet), followed closely by Tilicho Lake at 4,949 meters (16,237 feet). These altitudes require proper acclimatization and preparation, which Asiana Treks and Tours integrates into the itinerary.

Yes. Solo travelers are welcome and often paired in small groups if desired. Families with older children or teenagers who are physically fit can also enjoy the trek. Asiana Treks and Tours ensures safety and comfort for solo and group trekkers alike.

The trek involves a combination of private vehicles and domestic flights. Travel from Kathmandu to the trailhead and back is done via private vehicle or jeep, and the Jomsom to Pokhara section is typically covered by a short scenic flight. All arrangements are handled by Asiana Treks and Tours.

Yes, all guides from Asiana Treks and Tours speak English and are highly knowledgeable about the route, culture, and safety procedures. They also act as cultural interpreters, helping you connect with locals and better understand the region’s heritage.

In emergencies, Asiana Treks and Tours takes swift action. Guides carry communication devices and coordinate with local rescue services. Evacuation, including helicopter rescue if necessary, can be arranged (covered by insurance). Medical support is also accessible through established networks on the route.

Limited internet and phone access are available in lower regions and some teahouses. However, connectivity can be unreliable at higher altitudes. Asiana Treks and Tours ensures guides carry communication equipment for emergency contact.

Yes, most teahouses offer charging facilities for a small fee. It's recommended to bring extra batteries or a solar charger, especially in remote areas where electricity may be limited or unavailable.

Asiana Treks and Tours prefers small group sizes (typically 2–10 people) to maintain quality and personal attention. Private treks can also be arranged. Smaller groups also minimize environmental impact and enhance cultural interaction.

While tipping is not mandatory, it is customary in Nepal and a way to show appreciation. A general guideline is around 10% of the trip cost, which can be distributed among the guide and porter team. Asiana Treks and Tours can advise on appropriate amounts.
