Toilet Facilities in Everest Panorama Trekking:

Most teahouses have Western-style flush toilets during mountain treks, especially at lower elevations. But as you go higher, find simple squat toilets along the trails and teahouses at higher altitudes. These toilets usually have water or toilet paper, but it's a good idea to bring your toilet paper just in case. You can also use restrooms at nearby teahouses or find a private spot along the trekking routes.

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 SeasonFrom 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 for Everest Panorama trekking :

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 the 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.

Altitude Sickness and Acclimatisation for Everest Panorama Trek:

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 for Everest Panorama Trek:

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

With the proper physical fitness, training, and preparation, your journey to Nepal can be safe and successful. We understand the risks and challenges of 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 mountain problems. 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.

History of Lukla Airport:

In 2008, Lukla Airport was bestowed with a new name: Tenzing-Hillary Airport, a tribute to the first people to conquer Mount Everest, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary.

In case of cancellations, the company maintains a fair and transparent refund policy. If you cancel more than 30 days before departure, a full refund minus any bank or administrative fees is issued. Cancellations made between 15–29 days may incur up to a 30% charge, while cancellations within 14 days of the trip are non-refundable due to logistical arrangements already in place. In case of unforeseen events like flight cancellations, strikes, or natural disasters, Asiana Treks and Tours assists in trip rescheduling or refund processing, depending on the situation. Clients are advised to purchase comprehensive travel insurance, which covers trip interruption, medical evacuation, and cancellation.
