Nepal is the second country in the world in terms of water resources, after Brazil. According to the Nepal government, only 27% of the population here has access to clean drinking water. You can buy mineral water in teahouses, but it is expensive; in some trekking areas, people prefer plastic bottles. So, there are some safe drinking water stations where you can refill your bottle.

Most teahouses have Western-style flush toilets during mountain treks, especially at lower elevations. But as you go higher, you 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.
While trekking in Nepal's Himalayan region, it's also a good idea to connect with your family and friends. You can find internet access at teahouses and lodges, but it might cost extra. The signal might be weak because of the remote location. You can also get internet access using a local SIM card and data packages available at Kathmandu airport or nearby shops in Thamel and Pokhara. You'll have a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport to get a SIM card. It's a good idea to compare prices and data packages from telecom companies like Ncell and Nepal Telecom before buying. Knowing about the teahouse connectivity. Our guide will suggest connections for you.
However, 95 % of Nepali people have access to electricity as of May 29, 2023. Almost all popular trekking routes, teahouses, and lodges have electricity. However, some isolated, solo trekking tea houses in the jungle don't have electricity; most of these tea houses let travellers 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.
The guest houses in the trekking regions have internet access. You could buy a SIM card at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Winter Season: Cold temperatures start in late November or early December, but clear skies suit budget travellers. Lower-elevation treks and skiing/snowboarding in ski resorts are popular activities.
Spring Season: From late February 15 to Jun 15, 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 15 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.
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.

Altitude sickness is common among hikers in Nepal's Himalayan Region. It occurs when the body doesn't get enough oxygen at higher elevations, leading to headaches and dizziness. Acclimatisation 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, as dehydration 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. However, it's best to consult a doctor first. Proper acclimatisation techniques are like "climb high, sleep low, and please keep in mind that during your trek, you should always stay hydrated, which would reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Booking with an experienced guide can ensure you get the right advice and help during your trek.
Trekking and climbing in Nepal's hilly regions and the high-altitude Himalayas require physical fitness and training for a safe journey. Trekking involves walking long distances, sometimes for many hours a day, over varied terrain and at high altitudes. To build stamina and prepare the body, it's best to start fitness activities a few months before the trip, focusing on cardio, strength, and endurance. Your journey to Nepal can be safe and successful with physical fitness, training, and preparation. Be aware of the risks and challenges, and take necessary safety measures for a fun and secure trip.
When planning a trip to Nepal, packing the right gear is crucial for a successful journey, which 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.

There are several risky areas to be cautious of during the Langtang Gosaikunda Pass Trek, also known as the Langtang Helambu Trek. These include:
Steep Ascent Near Ghoratabala: This section involves a challenging climb, particularly in adverse weather such as snowfall or heavy rain.
Climb and Descent from Kyanjin Ri: The ascent to Kyanjin Ri and the subsequent descent require careful navigation, especially during slippery conditions.
Steep Descent in Some Parts: Throughout the trek, steep descents require caution, especially when conditions are slippery and people who have knee problems
