Preparation & Fitness

Trekking in Nepal varies in difficulty depending on the region and the altitude, so the level of fitness required will depend on the trek you choose. At Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we offer treks suitable for all fitness levels, from easy, low-altitude hikes to challenging high-altitude expeditions. While you don’t need to be an athlete, a reasonable level of physical fitness, good cardiovascular health, and some stamina will certainly enhance your trekking experience. Being comfortable walking for several hours a day over varying terrain is important. For high-altitude treks, proper acclimatization and mental preparedness are just as essential as physical fitness.

Yes, absolutely! Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours welcomes first-time trekkers and provides several beginner-friendly routes such as the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, and parts of the Annapurna region. These treks are less strenuous, generally lower in altitude, and include plenty of time for rest and acclimatization. Our experienced guides are there to support you every step of the way, offering motivation, safety, and expert insight throughout your journey. Many of our past clients were new to trekking and successfully completed their treks with a great sense of accomplishment. With proper preparation and guidance, anyone in good health can enjoy trekking in Nepal.

Yes, at Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we believe that preparation is key to a successful and enjoyable trekking experience. We provide all our clients with practical pre-trip fitness guidelines tailored to the difficulty level of the selected trek. Our recommendations typically include cardiovascular exercises like walking, jogging, cycling, or hiking, as well as strength training and flexibility exercises to improve endurance and reduce the risk of injury. If you're planning a high-altitude trek, we also suggest activities that simulate trekking conditions, such as stair climbing or carrying a backpack during walks. We’re happy to offer personalized advice based on your fitness level and goals.

Permits

Trekking in Nepal typically requires a combination of permits depending on the region you are visiting. The most common permits include the TIMS card (Trekkers’ Information Management System) and specific National Park or Conservation Area permits. For example, if you're trekking in the Annapurna region, you'll need the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), while the Everest region requires the Sagarmatha National Park Permit. Certain regions, like Upper Mustang or Manaslu, are classified as restricted areas and require additional special permits. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours ensures that all necessary permits are identified and arranged prior to the start of your journey.

Yes, absolutely. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours handles all permit arrangements on behalf of our clients to ensure a smooth and hassle-free trekking experience. Once you confirm your trip with us, we take care of collecting the necessary documents such as passport copies and photographs, and we apply for all required permits on your behalf. Whether it’s a TIMS card, National Park entry, or Restricted Area Permit, we make sure everything is in place before your trek begins. This allows you to focus on your preparation and enjoy the journey without worrying about the paperwork.

The TIMS card (Trekkers’ Information Management System) is a permit issued by the Nepal Tourism Board and the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal. It is used to keep track of trekkers in various regions of Nepal for safety, record-keeping, and emergency support. While its necessity has changed in certain regions—such as being replaced by local permits in the Everest area—it remains mandatory for many trekking areas including Annapurna and Langtang. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours will inform you whether a TIMS card is needed for your specific trek and will arrange it as part of your trip package.

Yes, most trekking regions in Nepal are located within National Parks or Conservation Areas, and permits are required for entry. For example, the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and Langtang National Park Permit are essential for their respective regions. These permits help fund conservation efforts and support local communities. The fees collected contribute to maintaining trails, protecting wildlife, and preserving natural and cultural heritage. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours ensures that these permits are arranged in advance, so you can explore Nepal’s beautiful trekking regions legally and responsibly.

Yes, several regions in Nepal are designated as Restricted Areas due to their proximity to international borders or to preserve their unique cultures and environments. Treks to places like Upper Mustang, Manaslu, Nar Phu Valley, and Tsum Valley require special Restricted Area Permits, which are only issued through registered trekking agencies like Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours. These permits usually come with specific conditions, such as a minimum group size and licensed guide requirement. We handle all logistics, ensure compliance with government regulations, and guide you safely through these remote and culturally rich regions.

While cultural tours and visits to heritage sites such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur, Patan, Swayambhunath, or Lumbini do not require trekking permits, they often involve entry fees or heritage site passes. These fees are used for preservation and maintenance of these UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours includes these costs in your tour package and arranges any necessary passes in advance, ensuring you can enjoy a seamless cultural experience without delays or confusion at entry points. Our guides also provide context and insights to help you appreciate the significance of each site you visit.

Insurance and Visa

Yes, almost all international travelers (except citizens of a few countries such as India) are required to obtain a tourist visa to enter Nepal. The process is generally straightforward, and tourist visas are available either on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at designated land border crossings. You can also apply for a visa in advance through a Nepalese embassy or consulate in your home country. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours recommends checking the latest visa regulations before your travel, as rules may vary slightly depending on your nationality.

Obtaining a tourist visa for Nepal is simple and can be done in three ways: on arrival, online via the Nepal Immigration Department’s official website, or through a Nepalese embassy or consulate abroad. For on-arrival visas, you must fill out an online form at the airport, provide a passport-sized photo, and pay the visa fee (typically USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, or USD 125 for 90 days). The online application (https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/) allows you to fill out the visa form in advance, making your airport process faster. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours can guide you through the entire visa process if needed.

Yes, travel insurance is strongly recommended—and in many cases, mandatory—for trekking and adventure tours with Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours. Nepal’s terrain can be unpredictable, especially at high altitudes, so having comprehensive travel insurance ensures that you are protected in case of medical emergencies, altitude sickness, trip cancellations, or lost belongings. Some trekking regions require proof of insurance for issuing permits, especially in restricted or remote areas. For your safety and peace of mind, we advise all clients to purchase insurance well before arriving in Nepal.

Your travel insurance should include high-altitude trekking coverage, emergency medical care, helicopter evacuation, trip interruption or cancellation, and lost or delayed baggage. Specifically, if you plan to trek above 3,000 meters (such as Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit), your insurance must include high-altitude evacuation via helicopter, which can be very costly without coverage. Also, make sure the policy is valid in Nepal and covers the full duration of your stay. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours recommends discussing your policy in detail with your insurance provider to ensure all key areas are included.

Yes, tourist visas can be extended while you're in Nepal by visiting the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu or the Immigration Office in Pokhara. You can typically extend your stay up to 150 days in a calendar year. The process is relatively easy, involving an online form, a passport photo, and a small fee depending on the length of extension. Currently, visa extensions cannot be processed from outside Nepal—you must be physically present in the country to apply. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours can assist you with the process if you need to extend your visa during your trip.

Guides & Support Staff

Yes, at Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we take great pride in working with a team of highly experienced, government-licensed trekking guides. All our guides are professionally trained, certified by the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management (NATHM), and possess years of on-the-ground experience in various trekking regions across Nepal. They are not only knowledgeable about local geography, culture, and history, but they also prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the journey. Our guides are passionate about sharing the beauty of Nepal and are committed to delivering a friendly, informative, and reliable trekking experience for every traveler.

Yes, Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours provides reliable porters and additional support staff for all trekking adventures, especially on longer or higher-altitude routes. Our porters help carry your main luggage—usually up to 15 kg—allowing you to enjoy the trek with a lighter daypack. We follow ethical trekking practices by ensuring our porters are fairly paid, properly equipped, and not overloaded. For larger groups or more challenging treks, we also include assistant guides or cooks as needed. Our support team works seamlessly to create a smooth and stress-free experience, so you can focus on the incredible landscapes and culture of Nepal.

Our guides at Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours are proficient in English, which is the primary language used for communication with international clients. In addition, some of our guides also speak other languages such as German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Chinese, depending on availability and the needs of the group. Their language skills enhance the overall experience by enabling clear communication, cultural exchange, and deeper understanding throughout the journey. If you have a language preference, let us know during the booking process, and we will do our best to assign a guide who matches your needs.

Absolutely. All trekking guides at Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours undergo regular first aid and high-altitude training, including specific instruction in identifying and managing conditions such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), dehydration, and other altitude-related risks. They are equipped to make critical decisions in emergencies and can coordinate evacuation if necessary. Our guides carry basic medical kits and are trained to monitor trekkers' health, ensuring that symptoms are recognized early and managed effectively. Your safety is our top priority, and we ensure every guide is prepared to handle health situations with calm, competence, and professionalism.

Accommodation and Facilities

During your trekking or tour with Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, accommodations range from comfortable hotels in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara to cozy lodges and tea houses in the trekking regions. Our priority is to provide clean, safe, and welcoming places to rest after a day of adventure. Whether you are staying in a hotel before or after your trek or spending nights in remote mountain villages, we ensure your lodging experience complements the natural beauty and cultural authenticity of Nepal.

Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours offers a variety of accommodation options depending on your itinerary and preferences. In urban areas, you can expect well-rated hotels ranging from budget to luxury. Along the trekking routes, you’ll stay in traditional lodges or tea houses which are small guesthouses run by local families. For those seeking a more immersive cultural experience, we can arrange homestays where you’ll live with a local family and experience authentic Nepali hospitality. Guesthouses are also available and offer simple, comfortable stays for budget travelers.

Tea houses and lodges along Nepal’s trekking trails are typically modest but comfortable accommodations. Most offer basic private rooms or dormitory-style lodgings with beds and blankets. Common areas often include a dining room serving simple Nepali and Western meals. Facilities like running water may be limited and sometimes only available in the morning or evening. While some lodges may have attached bathrooms, others have shared toilets with basic amenities. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours carefully selects lodges that meet cleanliness and comfort standards to ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible.

Hot showers and electricity are generally available in popular trekking regions, but they can be limited and sometimes come with an extra charge. Many tea houses use solar power or small generators to provide electricity, often available in the evenings for charging devices. Hot showers, where available, are usually solar-heated or provided with a small fee. In more remote or less frequented trekking areas, hot showers and electricity may not be consistently available. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours advises travelers to be prepared for basic facilities and to carry essentials like a headlamp or power bank.

Many tea houses and lodges on popular trekking routes now offer Wi-Fi in common areas, though the connection can be slow and intermittent due to remote locations. Mobile charging stations are often available, sometimes for a small fee, and are typically powered by solar energy or generators. However, in more remote regions, connectivity and charging options may be limited or unavailable. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours encourages travelers to enjoy the natural surroundings and cultural experiences, while staying connected enough to share highlights or keep in touch with family as needed.

Food and Drinks

Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours includes three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) during most treks, and breakfast only in major cities like Kathmandu or Pokhara unless otherwise specified. During the trek, meals are provided at tea houses or lodges along the route. These meals are carefully selected to offer a balanced diet that supports energy and health during physically demanding days. We also include a welcome or farewell dinner in some tour packages to give travelers a taste of authentic Nepali cuisine in a cultural setting.

During treks, you’ll be served a variety of meals, with the most common being Dal Bhat—a traditional Nepali dish of lentil soup, rice, vegetables, and sometimes meat. It’s nutritious, filling, and available at nearly every tea house. Other popular options include momos (steamed dumplings), noodles, fried rice, pasta, pancakes, soups, and eggs. While the menus are not extensive, most tea houses offer a mix of local and basic international dishes, including items like spaghetti, chapati, porridge, and toast. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours ensures the food is hygienic and well-suited for trekkers’ energy needs.

Yes, Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours can accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and food allergies, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, and nut-free diets. It’s important to inform us of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking so we can notify the lodges and ensure appropriate meals are prepared along your route. While remote tea houses may have limited resources, our guides work closely with kitchen staff to ensure your meals are safe, satisfying, and aligned with your needs. Travelers with severe allergies are encouraged to carry their own emergency medications and snacks as a precaution.

Drinking water is readily available during treks, but it is not recommended to drink untreated tap or stream water. Tea houses usually offer boiled or filtered water for a small fee. You can also buy bottled water, although we encourage using water purification methods—such as tablets, drops, or UV filters—to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours promotes safe and eco-friendly hydration options and can advise you on the best ways to purify water during your trek. Staying hydrated is essential, especially at higher altitudes, so we make sure water is accessible at every stage.

Weather & Seasons

The best time to visit Nepal largely depends on your activities, but the most popular trekking seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally dry and stable, with clear skies, mild temperatures, and excellent mountain visibility—ideal for trekking and cultural tours. Spring brings blooming rhododendrons and vibrant greenery, while autumn offers crisp air and stunning views after the monsoon. These seasons are also perfect for photography and experiencing festivals like Dashain and Tihar. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours recommends planning your trip around these months for the most comfortable and scenic experience.

Yes, trekking during the monsoon (June to August) or winter (December to February) is possible, but it comes with unique challenges. The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall, especially in lower regions, causing muddy trails and limited mountain views. However, certain rain-shadow areas like Upper Mustang and Dolpo are ideal during this time because they receive very little rain. Winter treks offer peaceful trails and beautiful snow-covered landscapes, but temperatures can drop significantly, particularly at higher altitudes. Trekking routes like Ghorepani Poon Hill or lower Annapurna remain accessible year-round. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours helps you select routes best suited for off-season travel and provides the proper support for weather conditions.

Nepal's weather varies greatly depending on altitude and region. In general, lower elevations (up to 2,000 meters) have mild to warm temperatures year-round, with lush greenery during the monsoon. Mid-elevation zones (2,000–4,000 meters), like the Annapurna and Langtang regions, enjoy cool to moderate temperatures in spring and autumn but can become quite cold in winter. At higher altitudes (above 4,000 meters), such as in the Everest or Manaslu regions, expect colder, alpine climates with freezing nights, especially in the off-season. Weather can change quickly at high elevations, so trekkers should be prepared for sudden shifts. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours always provides up-to-date weather guidance and helps you pack appropriately for your chosen route and season.

Health & Safety

Yes, trekking in Nepal is generally safe, especially when organized through a professional and experienced company like Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours. Our team prioritizes your safety by planning well-structured itineraries, ensuring proper acclimatization, and providing licensed, knowledgeable guides. We constantly monitor weather conditions and trail updates, and our guides are trained to handle emergencies with calm professionalism. While trekking naturally involves some level of risk due to altitude, terrain, and weather, our proactive approach, experience, and attention to detail greatly minimize those risks and help ensure a safe and rewarding journey.

Yes, altitude sickness—also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)—can be a concern when trekking above 2,500 meters, especially on routes like Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, or Manaslu. At Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we take altitude-related health risks seriously and plan our itineraries with built-in acclimatization days to allow your body to adjust. Our guides are trained to identify early symptoms of AMS, such as headache, nausea, and fatigue, and will respond quickly if any signs appear. In case of serious symptoms, we are prepared to descend immediately or arrange emergency evacuation if needed. We also educate our clients on prevention tips before and during the trek.

Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours follows strict safety protocols to ensure a secure trekking experience. All our guides are trained in first aid, altitude illness management, and emergency response. We use only well-established trails and avoid routes that are unsafe due to weather or natural hazards. Group sizes are kept manageable, and communication devices (such as mobile phones or satellite phones in remote areas) are carried to stay in touch with our base or emergency services if necessary. Our porters are properly equipped and not overloaded, and we continuously monitor weather forecasts and trail conditions. Your health, safety, and comfort are our top priorities on every trek.

While no vaccinations are legally required for entry into Nepal, several are strongly recommended for your health and safety, especially if you plan to trek or visit rural areas. These include Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Rabies (for longer stays or animal contact), and Japanese Encephalitis (in monsoon months or rural areas). A routine update of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and polio is also advised. It’s best to consult your doctor or a travel clinic at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to receive the most appropriate vaccinations based on your health, itinerary, and current medical advisories. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours can provide general health guidelines and answer questions, but your personal doctor is the best source for medical advice.

Packing & Gear

Packing appropriately is essential for a safe and comfortable trekking experience. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours provides a detailed pre-departure gear checklist tailored to your specific route and season. In general, you should bring layered clothing (including thermal base layers, fleece, and a waterproof jacket), trekking boots, a sleeping bag, sun protection, and a personal first aid kit. Other essentials include a daypack, water purification tablets or filter, headlamp, gloves, hat, and trekking poles (optional but recommended). For high-altitude treks, warmer gear is a must. Don’t forget personal hygiene items, reusable water bottles, and some snacks for energy during the trek.

Yes, Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours offers assistance with gear rentals in Kathmandu and Pokhara for clients who prefer not to invest in expensive trekking gear. Items such as sleeping bags, down jackets, trekking poles, crampons (for winter treks), and even backpacks can be rented at affordable rates. We work with trusted local shops to ensure that the equipment is clean, high-quality, and suited for your specific trek. Renting is a convenient and budget-friendly option, especially for first-time trekkers or travelers who want to pack light for international travel.

Yes, there are practical weight limits to consider during treks. While traveling in Nepal, your international luggage can be stored safely at your hotel or with our office, and you’ll carry only the essentials during the trek. Most trekking programs allow around 10–12 kg per trekker, which is typically carried by porters. You will carry your own daypack (5–7 kg) with daily essentials like water, snacks, camera, rain gear, and personal items. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours helps you organize and repack efficiently before your trek begins to ensure your gear is within the recommended limits.

Yes, for ethical and safety reasons, our porters follow the guidelines recommended by the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG). Each porter carries a maximum of 20–25 kg, usually shared between two trekkers. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours ensures our porters are well-equipped, insured, and not overloaded, as we believe in fair treatment and responsible tourism. We also encourage trekkers to pack thoughtfully and avoid unnecessary items. Our guides will assist you in balancing your load to make the journey more comfortable for both you and the support team.

For local payments in Nepal, we also accept cash in USD, Euros, or Nepali Rupees. All transactions are processed securely, and receipts are provided for every payment made. Please note that a small processing fee may apply for international card or online payments.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your booking. Typically, a 20%–30% advance payment of the total trip cost is required to confirm your reservation. This deposit allows us to secure permits, guides, accommodations, and transportation in advance. The remaining balance can be paid upon arrival in Nepal or before the trek begins. We’ll provide full details about payment deadlines and methods during the booking process. For custom or restricted area treks, an additional deposit may be necessary due to permit and logistic requirements.

At Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we understand that travel plans can change. Our cancellation and refund policy is designed to be fair and transparent. If you cancel more than 30 days before the trip start date, your deposit is refundable minus a small administrative fee. For cancellations made 15–30 days prior, a partial refund may be issued depending on the nature of services already booked. Cancellations made less than 15 days before departure or "no-shows" are generally non-refundable. However, we try our best to reschedule or transfer bookings when possible. All policies will be clearly outlined at the time of booking.

Yes, last-minute bookings are possible depending on the trek or tour type. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours accepts last-minute bookings up to 24–48 hours before departure, especially for standard treks like Ghorepani Poon Hill or cultural tours in Kathmandu Valley. However, for restricted area treks (e.g., Upper Mustang, Manaslu), more time is required to secure permits and logistics. We recommend contacting us as early as possible to ensure availability of guides, accommodations, and flights. Our team works efficiently to accommodate urgent bookings without compromising on quality or safety.

Transportation & Flight

Yes, airport transfers are included in almost all of our trekking and tour packages at Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours. We provide pickup and drop-off services from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu to your hotel, ensuring a hassle-free start and end to your journey. Whether you arrive late at night or during the day, our friendly representative will be there to greet you with a warm welcome and assist with your luggage and transportation. For departure, we also ensure timely transfer back to the airport based on your flight schedule.

The primary international gateway to Nepal is Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), located in Kathmandu, the capital city. It is the only international airport in Nepal as of now and is where most travelers arrive when visiting the country. TIA is also the main hub for domestic flights, including those to popular trekking regions such as Lukla, Pokhara, and Jomsom. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours coordinates all your arrivals and departures through TIA, ensuring smooth transitions between your international and domestic travel within Nepal.

Yes, Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours arranges all domestic flights required for your trekking or tour itinerary. Popular trekking routes like Everest Base Camp (via Lukla), Annapurna Base Camp (via Pokhara), or Upper Mustang (via Jomsom) often involve short, scenic domestic flights. We handle the entire booking process for these flights, ensuring that tickets are secured in advance. Our team also provides assistance at domestic airports, helps with check-in procedures, and updates you on any changes to flight schedules. We work closely with reliable airlines to ensure your journey is safe and efficient.

Flights to mountain regions like Lukla, Jomsom, or Simikot are often subject to delays or cancellations due to unpredictable weather, especially during monsoon or winter months. At Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours, we closely monitor weather conditions and stay in regular contact with airline operators to keep you updated. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, we’ll immediately assist with rebooking, rescheduling, or finding alternative transport options, such as helicopter charter if needed (at an additional cost). We always build buffer days into your itinerary for flexibility, and our priority is your safety and peace of mind.

Communication & Connectivity

Yes, there is mobile phone coverage in many trekking regions, though the signal can be inconsistent and weak in remote or high-altitude areas. In more developed trekking routes like Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang, you’ll find mobile coverage in most villages along the trail, especially at lower altitudes. However, in remote regions like Upper Mustang, Dolpo, or Manaslu, coverage may be very limited or entirely unavailable for stretches of the journey. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours recommends informing family and friends in advance that you may be offline for portions of your trek.

Yes, getting a local SIM card is easy and affordable in Nepal. Upon arrival in Kathmandu or Pokhara, you can purchase SIM cards from major providers like NCELL and NTC (Nepal Telecom). You’ll need a copy of your passport and a passport-size photo to register. For trekking regions, NTC generally has better coverage in high-altitude and rural areas, while NCELL performs better in city areas and some mid-altitude trails. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours can help you obtain and set up a SIM card upon your arrival.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available in many tea houses and lodges, particularly in popular trekking areas like the Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, and Ghorepani Poon Hill. However, it is usually not free and often comes with limited bandwidth and slower speeds, especially at higher elevations. In some remote areas, there may be no Wi-Fi at all. Some tea houses use Everest Link or AirLink services, which offer Wi-Fi packages for a small fee. Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours advises trekkers to use internet access for essential communication and to enjoy a digital detox while immersed in nature.

The best way to stay connected during your trek is by using a local SIM card with a data package, combined with Wi-Fi at lodges where available. Before heading into the mountains, make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with local networks. For emergency use or remote areas without coverage, Rediscover Nepal Treks & Tours guides carry local phones, and for high-risk or remote treks, we may include satellite phones or GPS trackers upon request. While connectivity may be intermittent, we ensure you are never completely out of touch in case of an emergency.
