 There are lodges and restaurants in all the villages visisted and so there is no need to take camping and cooking equipments. The local people have been catering for foreign trekkers for a long time. So you will find that restaurant menus include a wide variety of dishes as well as Nepali Food – Dal Bhat!!
Even a sleeping bag is unnecessary as the lodges are well equipped with warm bedding. Comfortable walking shoes or boots are important to avoid blisters, but there is not difficult mountaineering on this trek. Waterproof footwear is advisable if you are likely to meet snow on the paths in winter. You should take a waterproof jacket, and warm clothes for cold night – and it goes cold early in winter as the sun goes drops behind the mountains at 3:00 p.m
Walking stick can help your balance if the ground is muddy or icy. Carry a water bottle with you – particularly important if you are climbing in the summer heat. Bottled Mineral water can be bought everywhere. But you will find tea-shops along the route, and your favorite soft drinks are now available on every mountain top.
The one essential is a trekking permit from the immigration department – without a permit you won’t get as far as Trishuli.
The National Park entry Permit can also be obtained in Kathmandu, or you can pay the Entrance Fee at Dhunche. |
