Altitude problems (Acute Mountain Sickness) can be life threatening if you ignore it.  Even though this trek goes up to 4100m, some  people will feel the altitude. Our trip itinerary has been designed in a way that allows you to have ample time to help acclimatize with the altitude. Our guides are experienced to act accordingly to the gravity of the mountain sickness . The best remedy for AMS is to go down. So never ignore the symptoms and please talk to your guide or tour leader if you have headaches, feel sick or loose your appetite.

Trekking season

Nepal is ever pleasant through out the year and hence all year round is trekking season.

Spring and summer are great months with most of flowers in bloom, especially rhododendrons in the mountains. Late summer and monsoon are wet but the mountains and hills are covered with lush and green  forest.  The trek is very much possible, actually good time as few people trek this time, making it perfect occasion who prefer in exploring the quieter paths, when nature is at its best.

Autumn and winter is the season of n settled weather and crystal clear skies which enables clear views of the mountains. This means these popular trails are almost saturated with the trekkers, which sometimes creates a problem to find a place to stay and eat, especially if one is traveling in a small group.
