Three Peaks Climbing: Pokalde Peak, Island Peak and Lobuche East Peak

Q: What types of treks and tours do you offer?

We specialize in a wide range of trekking and adventure tours in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. Our itineraries vary from short and easy hikes suitable for beginners to strenuous high-altitude expeditions for experienced trekkers. We also offer cultural tours, wildlife safaris, and customized private trips based on your interests and fitness level.

Q: How can I choose the right trek for my fitness level?

We provide detailed descriptions of each itinerary, including difficulty level, duration, and altitude. If you’re unsure which route suits you best, our team is happy to discuss your fitness background, travel preferences, and time constraints to recommend the perfect trek for your experience level.

Q: When is the best time of year to trek in Nepal?

Generally, the two main trekking seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). During these periods, the weather is relatively stable, skies are clearer, and temperatures are moderate. Some regions are also ideal for winter treks, but conditions can be harsher at higher altitudes.

Q: Do I need a trekking permit?

Most trekking regions in Nepal require permits such as the TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card and specific National Park or Conservation Area permits. Our team arranges all necessary permits on your behalf before your trek starts, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Q: What gear and equipment do I need?

Essential gear typically includes sturdy hiking boots, comfortable trekking clothes in layers, a warm jacket, a good sleeping bag, and personal items like sunscreen and a water bottle. We provide a comprehensive packing list for each trek and can help you rent or purchase items in Kathmandu if needed.

Q: Do I need prior trekking experience or technical skills?

Many of our itineraries are suitable for beginners with decent physical fitness. For higher-altitude or more technical expeditions, some background in mountain trekking or hiking is beneficial. We also offer training tips and guidance to help you prepare for more challenging routes.
