    Nepal, nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, offers a range of options for travelers to enter the country. The most common and convenient way to reach Nepal is by air through Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the capital city. Numerous international airlines operate regular flights to Kathmandu from major cities around the world, making it easily accessible for travelers from different countries. Upon arrival at the airport, travelers will need to go through immigration and customs procedures. It is advisable to have all necessary travel documents, including a valid passport, visa, and any required permits, readily available for inspection.

    To ensure a smooth start to the expedition, it is crucial to provide your arrival details in advance to us. This allows us to make appropriate arrangements for your airport pickup, where you will be picked up by a Luxury Holidays Nepal representative and transfer to your accommodation in Kathmandu. So, it is important to promptly inform our team if there are any delays or changes to your flight schedule so that we can adjust their arrangements accordingly.

    Domestic Flights

    Domestic flights in Nepal are the main intercommunication to reach the region where you are going for your expedition as most of these regions are disconnected by road transport. Your flights into the Khumbu and any other region that are mentioned in your trip program will be reserved by us on your behalf. Due to the terrain and landscapes of Nepal domestic flights might get caught in weather delays which is why we recommend your return flight back home be changeable at any time.

    Altitude Sickness

    Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a condition that can occur when ascending to high altitudes without proper acclimatization. It is caused by the reduced oxygen levels and changes in air pressure at higher elevations. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, regardless of their physical fitness level.

    The symptoms of altitude sickness can vary from mild to severe and may include:

    • Headache: One of the most common symptoms of altitude sickness is a persistent headache, often described as throbbing or pounding.
    • Fatigue and Weakness: Feeling tired, weak, and lacking energy is another common symptom.
    • Dizziness and Lightheadedness: A sense of dizziness or feeling lightheaded can occur, especially when standing up or moving quickly.
    • Nausea and Vomiting: Some individuals may experience stomach discomfort, nausea, and vomiting.
    • Loss of Appetite: A decrease in appetite and an aversion to food can be a symptom of altitude sickness.
    • Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing and a feeling of breathlessness, especially during physical exertion, may occur.
    • Difficulty Sleeping: Many people experience disrupted sleep patterns and insomnia at high altitudes.

    If left untreated, altitude sickness can progress to more severe forms, such as high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), which can be life-threatening. Symptoms of HACE may include confusion, difficulty walking, and a loss of coordination. HAPE is characterized by a cough, shortness of breath at rest, chest congestion, and a frothy or pink sputum.

    To prevent altitude sickness, it is important to ascend gradually, allowing the body time to acclimatize to the changing altitude. This involves taking rest days at higher elevations, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills, and listening to your body. If symptoms of altitude sickness arise, it is crucial to descend to a lower elevation to alleviate the symptoms and prevent further complications.

    Money

    Money management is an important aspect to consider when traveling in Nepal, especially during your Lobuche Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

    ATMs and Card Acceptance

    In Nepal, access to ATMs is generally good in most city areas, but it can be limited in rural regions. Different banks have varying withdrawal limits, so it's important to check with your bank regarding the maximum withdrawal amount per transaction. Hotels, restaurants, airlines, and travel agents in urban areas usually accept cards, with Visa and Mastercard being widely accepted. However, in rural areas and trekking regions, card acceptance may be limited or unavailable. It's advisable to carry enough cash, especially in Nepalese currency, for areas with limited ATM access and to have some reserve cash for emergencies. While USD is selectively accepted, it's more important to have Nepalese currency on hand during your expedition in Nepal.

    Nepalese Currency

    The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). It is important to have Nepalese currency on hand, especially during your expedition in remote areas where USD may not be widely accepted. Exchange your currency to Nepalese Rupees at authorized currency exchange counters, banks, or hotels. Avoid exchanging money with unauthorized individuals or street vendors.

    Remember to inform your bank and credit card provider about your travel plans to Nepal, as some financial institutions may put a temporary hold on cards if they see unusual international transactions. Having a mix of cash and cards, along with sufficient Nepalese currency, will ensure that you are well-prepared for various payment needs throughout your expedition in Nepal.

    Drinking-Water

    When traveling in Nepal, including during the Lobuche Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp, it is essential to ensure that you have access to safe drinking water to prevent waterborne illnesses. Here are some options for obtaining safe drinking water:

    • Bottled Water: Bottled water is readily available in Kathmandu and other major towns. It is advisable to purchase sealed, commercially bottled water from trusted brands. Make sure the seal is intact before consuming. However, please be aware that plastic waste can have negative environmental impacts, so consider minimizing the use of single-use plastic bottles.
    • Boiled Water: Boiling water is an effective way to kill harmful microorganisms and make it safe for consumption. If you have access to a kitchen or tea house, you can ask for water to be boiled. Allow the water to reach a rolling boil for at least one minute, and then let it cool before drinking. This method is commonly used by trekkers and climbers to ensure safe drinking water.
    • Water Purification Tablets or Drops: Water purification tablets or drops, such as those containing chlorine or iodine, can be used to treat water and make it safe for drinking. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage. These tablets or drops are lightweight and convenient to carry during the expedition.
    • Water Filters or Purifiers: Portable water filters or purifiers are another options for treating water during the expedition. These devices help remove bacteria, protozoa, and some viruses from water sources. There are various types of water filters available, including pump filters, gravity filters, and straw filters. Choose a filter suitable for your needs and ensure it is properly maintained and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    • Steripen or UV Purifiers: Steripen is a handheld device that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect water. It is effective in neutralizing harmful microorganisms. This method requires batteries, and the water should be clear and free of sediment for optimal results. Follow the instructions provided with the Steripen for proper usage.

    Regardless of the method you choose, it is important to be cautious and ensure that the water you consume is safe. Avoid drinking tap water or water from questionable sources without proper treatment.

Understanding evacuation procedures and having contingency plans in place for emergencies is crucial for swift and effective response.

    Environmental Responsibility: Respecting the environment and practicing Leave No Trace principles is important to minimize your impact on the natural surroundings. Follow designated trails, dispose of waste properly, and be mindful of the fragile ecosystem. Adhering to environmental responsibility ensures the preservation of the natural beauty for future generations.

    Personal Safety Measures: Following safety guidelines provided by guides and support staff is essential.
