    Private Ground Transport: All ground transportation will be in a private vehicle. This includes airport transfers, hotel transfers, and transport between destinations. The vehicles used are well-maintained, comfortable, and driven by experienced drivers.

    Domestic Flight: Towards the end of the tour, you'll take a domestic flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu. This scenic 25-minute flight provides stunning aerial views of the landscape and significantly reduces travel time compared to road transportation.

    Trekking: When you embark on your trek to Ghorepani and Poon Hill, transportation will primarily be on foot. However, the tour includes the services of porters to carry personal baggage of up to 15 kg per trekking member, allowing you to trek comfortably with just your day pack.

    River Rafting: For the rafting portion of the trip on the Trishuli River, the tour provides all necessary rafting equipment including boat, life jacket, and paddles.

    Drinking water on Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting

    Staying hydrated is absolutely crucial, especially while undertaking physical activities like trekking and rafting during your Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting. Here's what you need to know about drinking water on this tour:

    Cities (Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan): In your hotels in the cities, bottled water is readily available and typically provided for free in your rooms. Restaurants and stores also sell bottled water.

    During the Rafting: Bottled water will be provided during your rafting journey.

    Trekking: While trekking in the mountains, you have several options for drinking water.

    • Bottled water: This can be purchased at the tea houses and lodges along the trail, but it gets increasingly expensive as you gain altitude due to the difficulty of transportation.
    • Purified water: Many tea houses offer boiled and filtered water at a small cost. This is a safer option as it reduces the risk of waterborne diseases.
    • Water purification tablets or personal filtration systems: These are lightweight and easy to carry, allowing you to purify tap or natural water from streams. If you're using these, make sure you're familiar with their use before starting the trek.

    Sustainability Tip: Nepal has been facing a challenge with littering in its trekking regions, including the disposal of plastic water bottles. Consider using a refillable water bottle and purification tablets or a personal filtration system to minimize your plastic waste.

    Luggage during Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting

    On your Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting, there are several considerations regarding luggage:

    During the Tour: While traveling between destinations (Kathmandu, Charaudi, Chitwan, Pokhara), you will be in private vehicles where your luggage can be safely stored. Here, you can bring your regular suitcase or travel bag.

    During the Trek: When you start your trek to Ghorepani and Poon Hill, porters will carry your main luggage. The tour package includes a porter service for personal baggage up to 15 kg per trekking member. This allows you to trek comfortably, carrying just a daypack with your essentials. Luxury Holidays Nepal will provide a duffel bag if necessary.

    Your daypack should include items you might need on the trail such as water, snacks, camera, sunscreen, hat, and extra layers. Valuables like passports, money, and important documents should always stay with you.

    Hotel Storage: Most hotels will have storage facilities where you can safely store the luggage that you do not need during the trek.

    Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are also widely accepted in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, especially in hotels, restaurants, and many shops. However, please note that outside of these areas, especially during the trekking part of your tour, cash is generally the only acceptable form of payment.

    ATMs are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara where you can withdraw local currency using your debit or credit card. Keep in mind that ATMs may not be available or reliable in smaller towns or rural areas, and they often have a daily limit on cash withdrawals.

    If you are carrying traveler's cheques or foreign currency, especially US dollars or Euros, they can be easily exchanged at banks or authorized foreign exchange counters in the cities.

    It's important to notify your bank of your travel plans beforehand to avoid any potential blocks on your card. Also, remember to inquire about transaction fees for using cards or ATMs abroad.

    Guides and Staff: You will be accompanied by a professional, experienced guide who is trained in first aid and emergency procedures. They will also be in constant communication with us, updating them on your progress and any issues that may arise.

    Altitude Sickness: While trekking in the mountains, there's a risk of altitude sickness. Your guide will help manage this risk by ensuring a sensible ascent rate, encouraging plenty of hydration, and watching for symptoms of altitude sickness. If anyone becomes ill, the guide will take necessary actions, which may include descending to a lower altitude.

    Travel Insurance: It's recommended to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation, injury, lost luggage, cancellation, and other potential travel uncertainties.

    Food and Water: Only eat thoroughly cooked food and drink bottled or purified water to avoid health issues. We will provide you with clean and safe dining options.

    COVID-19 Measures: Depending on the current situation, various health and safety protocols might be in place, including mask-wearing, regular sanitization, social distancing, health screening, and more.

    Internet and SIM Card for Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting

    During the Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting, your access to the internet will vary based on location. In major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, WiFi will be readily available in hotels, restaurants, cafes, and other public places. However, the connection might be slower or intermittent compared to what you're accustomed to at home.

    In remote areas, particularly during the trekking phase, internet access can be limited or even non-existent. Some teahouses or lodges along the trekking route might offer WiFi for a fee, but the speed and reliability can be unpredictable.

    To stay connected, you may consider getting a local SIM card upon your arrival in Kathmandu. Two major telecom providers in Nepal are Ncell and Nepal Telecom. They both offer prepaid SIM cards with data packages, which you can top up as needed. The coverage is reasonably good in cities and towns, but can be patchy or unavailable in remote mountainous regions.

    To purchase a SIM card, you'll need to provide a copy of your passport and a passport-sized photo. You can find these telecom provider outlets at the airport and in cities.

    However, keep in mind that while a local SIM card can offer better connectivity, it's not a guarantee of consistent internet access throughout your journey due to the remote nature of some areas on the trek. Therefore, it's advisable to download offline maps, guides, and essential contact information before setting off for trekking areas.

    Vaccinations & Immunization for Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting

    Before travelling to Nepal, it's recommended to consult with your doctor or a travel health clinic about vaccinations and health precautions, ideally 4-6 weeks before your departure. Vaccination recommendations can vary depending on your personal health status, specific areas you will be visiting, and recent changes in health regulations.

    Routine Vaccines: Make sure you are up to date on routine vaccines like measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio, and your yearly flu shot.

    Hepatitis A: This vaccine is recommended for most travelers, as you can get hepatitis A through contaminated food or water in Nepal, regardless of where you are eating or staying.

    Typhoid: This vaccine is recommended for most travelers, especially if you are visiting smaller cities or rural areas, or if you are an adventurous eater.

    In addition, depending on your specific travel plans and health status, the following vaccinations might be recommended:

    Hepatitis B: If you might have sex with a new partner, get a tattoo or piercing, or have any medical procedures.

    Japanese Encephalitis: Depending on what time of year you are traveling, how long you are staying, what you will be doing, and if you are visiting a country or area where Japanese Encephalitis is found.

    Rabies: Rabies can be found in dogs, bats, and other mammals in Nepal, so this vaccine is recommended for the following groups: Travelers involved in outdoor and other activities in remote areas that put them at risk for animal bites (such as adventure travel and caving). People who will be working with or around animals (such as wildlife professionals and researchers). People who are taking long trips or moving to remote areas in Nepal.

    Malaria: Depending on your travel plans, you may need to take prescription medicine before, during, and after your trip to prevent malaria. Parts of Nepal, including Chitwan, have a risk of malaria. Talk to your doctor about how you can prevent malaria while traveling.

    Yellow Fever: There is no risk of yellow fever in Nepal. However, the government of Nepal requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you are traveling from a country with risk of yellow fever.

    Health Issues for Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting

    While embarking on the Luxury Nepal Tour with Trek, Safari and Rafting, you will encounter various environments, from city to jungle to high-altitude regions. Each of these settings can pose different health challenges, but with appropriate precautions, they are manageable. Here are some common health issues you might encounter:

    Altitude Sickness: Altitude sickness is a risk when trekking in high-altitude regions. It occurs when you can't get enough oxygen from the air at high altitudes. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and shortness of breath. We should manage your ascent rate sensibly to allow proper acclimatization and reduce the risk.

    Food and Water Safety: There is a risk of traveler's diarrhea from consuming contaminated food or water. Stick to bottled or purified water, avoid ice unless it's made from purified water, and ensure that your food is cooked thoroughly. Washing hands frequently or using a hand sanitizer is crucial to prevent gastrointestinal infections.

    Heat Exhaustion and Dehydration: The heat in the lower plains, such as Chitwan, can be intense, particularly between March and June. Stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and protect yourself from the sun.

    Respiratory Infections: Dust in Kathmandu and Pokhara, particularly in dry months, can trigger respiratory issues in some people. If you have pre-existing respiratory conditions like asthma, ensure you carry the necessary medications.

    Insect-borne Diseases: In jungle areas like Chitwan, there is a risk of diseases like malaria and dengue fever, transmitted by mosquitoes. Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and sleep under a mosquito net to avoid bites.

    Injuries: During trekking and rafting, there's a risk of injuries due to slips, falls, or accidents. Always follow safety instructions, use appropriate gear, and stay with your group.

    Pre-trip preparation is crucial. Get all necessary vaccinations, have comprehensive travel insurance, and bring a good quality first aid kit.

Medical treatment in Nepal can be expensive, and in the case of serious injury or illness, emergency evacuation by helicopter may be necessary, which is also costly.

    Trip Cancellation, Interruption, and Delay: This can offer protection in case you need to cancel or postpone your trip due to personal reasons or unforeseen circumstances. It can also provide coverage for additional accommodations, meals, and transportation if your trip is delayed.

    Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Personal Belongings: This includes coverage for valuable items such as electronic equipment, cameras, and luggage.

    Travel Documents: This covers the cost of replacing lost or stolen documents like passports or tickets.

    Accidental Death and Dismemberment: This provides a payout in the event of death or serious injury.

    When choosing a travel insurance policy, be sure to read the fine print carefully and understand what is and isn't covered. It's also important to note the policy's emergency contact details and claim procedures.
