  • 10. Is water provided and is there still water available at higher altitudes? Is it filtered/boiled? Readily available?

    Bottled water is easily available at the lodges and tea houses. You can buy bottled water at the cost of USD 2 at lower elevations to USD 4 to higher elevations per littler. You can also drink the normal tap or spring water if you bring the purifying aid with you.

  • Where do we go to the toilet along the trail?

    Wherever possible we utilize the toilet facilities provided by the tea houses/lodges on the trail. However, in case of emergency trekkers are recommended to find a private, scenic spot! What are the Toilet facilities in the tea house/guesthouse? Most of the tea houses do have western-style flushing toilets however tea houses at higher elevations you could find the squat toilets made of either a ceramic basin on the ground or a few planks precariously positioned over a hole in the ground which is always outside. Is there a possibility of getting separate rooms for the trip? If so how much extra will this cost? Normally the lodges have twin-sharing and dormitory-styled rooms. The lodges will provide a private room for one person when available. In Kathmandu, USD 45 Per Room per Night would be added as a single supplement fee. The single supplements are always guaranteed in Kathmandu but not in the mountains especially during the

  • 11. What is the alternative option if my flight to and from Lukla is canceled or delayed?

    Sometimes, flights (to and from Lukla) may be canceled due to mountain weather conditions or technical issues. In such a case, Himalaya Sanctuary Adventure can help you charter a helicopter to ensure you are on schedule for your trek or international flight. The helicopter can fly if the visibility is 1500m, while the twin otter and Dornier can fly if the visibility is 5000m, as per Nepal’s Civil Aviation rules. If the weather is extreme and the visibility is lesser than 1,500m helicopters are also not operated for the flights. In such cases, we will reschedule your flight for the next day providing you with alternative trek options.

  • 13. What is the best season for this trekking?

    Our trekking season extends from mid-September to May. From early September the monsoonal rains decrease. By the end of September through to December, the weather is usually stable with mild to warm days, and cold nights. February, March, April, May, October, November, and December is the best time to do Everest base camp deluxe trek

  • 9. Is the food in the mountain prepared to international standards in terms of safety?

    YES, the food is very safe during the trekking but we recommend you to eat vegetarian and local food. Please follow the suggestion of our guide on the trek.

  • Are airport transfers included in this tour?

    Yes

  • 14. What sort of weather conditions and temperatures will be in Trekking?

    Every trekking trip up the mighty Mt. Everest presents its own amazing, unforgettable moments that forever live on in the hearts and minds of those brave enough to make the climb. One of the most unpredictable elements of the Everest region is the weather. If you’re not properly prepared for the twists, turns, and volatility of the conditions that can occur in this breathtaking region, you might find yourself in an uncomfortable and unpleasant situation. Here are some weather basics to help ensure that you come to the Himalayas as well-equipped and prepared to face anything. Spring – March / April / May / June Spring happens to be one of the best times of the year to visit the Everest region, although because of this, it can become somewhat crowded. During springtime, the average temperature is 17 degrees C with a maximum of 25 degrees C during sunny days and a minimum of -15 degrees C in the morning and at night for areas above 4000 meters. July / August Through Mid- September is Monsoon Season This season is not recommended to travel as it rains in the lower altitudes, below 3500 meters. In areas above 4000 meters, it rains sometimes and although it is also sometimes dry, very few people travel during this season. There are positives to trekking during the monsoon months, however. The excess rainfall can provide ample chance to see spectacular views of the waterfall and it’s also the best season to avoid the crowds. The maximum temperature during the monsoon season averages 25 degrees C during sunny days with a minimum of -15 degrees C in the morning and night at areas above 4000 meters. The average temperature tends to hover around a comfortable 18 degrees C. Autumn – End of September / October / November Similar to springtime, autumn in the Everest region is also a crowded season, but it’s one of the best times to trek. While it lacks the beauty of flowers, the clear blue sky can be seen, affording incredible views from just about every angle. The average temperature during the fall is 15 degrees C with a maximum temp of 20 degrees C during sunny days and a minimum of -10 degrees C in the morning and at night, for areas above 4000 meters altitude. Regardless of the time of year, trekkers should always plan accordingly and bring clothing for both cooler and warmer temps. Layering is always recommended, as are pants that can double as shorts.

  • 8. What sort of food can I expect in trekking?

    Most teahouses (lodges) in Everest Base Camp trails cook a delicious range of mostly vegetarian fare. Pasta, tuna bakes, noodles, potatoes, eggs, daal Bhat (rice and lentils), bread, soup, fresh vegetables (variety depends on the season), and even some desserts like apple pies, pancakes, and some interesting attempts at custard. You will find a lot of garlic on the menu because it assists with acclimatization – eat some every day. In many larger villages, you may find some meat items on the menu. You can always get hot chocolate, tea, and hot lemon drinks, as well as soft drinks, and treats like chocolate and crisps. Each day dinner and breakfast will be at a lodge you’ll stay at while lunch will be taken on the way to the destination

  • 1. Will somebody come to pick me up?

    A representative from Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure will pick you up from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu .

  • 2. What sort of accommodation can I expect in trekking?

    Normal Teahouses/lodges will be provided along the trekking routes in the mountains. The lodges in trekking routes usually provide single and double rooms. At times when possible, dining will be around a bonfire. In tea houses, food will be prepared in the kitchen which you should not enter without permission. somewhere until Dingboche, you will have an attached toilet and bathroom. But in two locations Lobuche and Gorakshep, you will have to use a common toilet and bathroom. (depend on the Season)

  • 5. Is there a possibility of getting separate rooms for the trip?

    During the trek, we will try our best but normally the lodges have twin-sharing and dormitory-styled rooms instead of a single room.

  • 16. What if I am very sick in the mountain?

    Our guides are 24 hours available for services during the trek. They are trained to use the first aid kit and have the knowledge to use an Oxy meter. They are very much aware that the higher the altitude the oxygen level gets lesser so to get updated on the oxygen level of our client and to know whether they are fit enough or need extra precautions to continue. During the time of emergency, our guides are alert and keep updated with the head office in Kathmandu which is available 24 /7 to arrange from horse to mules or helicopters in the most needed cases especially when the client is seriously sick in the mountain and needed to be hospitalized. 17. What immunizations will I need? No vaccinations are compulsory in the Himalayas, but we do recommend you are covered for diphtheria & TB, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, *malaria, typhoid, polio, and tetanus. We also recommend: · A dental check-up before traveling. · That you know your blood group in case of emergency. 18. What is your cancellation policy? A cancellation notice is required a minimum of 20 days before trip departure. If the reason is valid the trip shall then be termed as canceled and the cancellation charge of 30% of the trip amount would be deducted from the advance paid. If you do not cancel your trip before 20 days due to whatsoever reasons, you must be aware that the trip you’ve already bought is completely non-refundable as per our terms and conditions. If your trip is cut short due to weather/illness/personal reasons, there is no refund for accommodations unused.

  • 12. How much should I pay for the Heli charter?

    The cost of the helicopter is payable directly to our Kathmandu office if this service is utilized. US cash or credit cards (Visa Cards, Master Cards only) are accepted. You will be given a receipt upon payment so that you may claim the amount from your travel insurance. The extra charges incurred are approximately $2,500 to USD 3,000 per helicopter (minimum USD 500 to maximum USD 3,000 per person) would apply to you for the helicopter charter. Usually, the helicopter takes only 3 to 5 passengers at a time. Therefore whatever the cost of a helicopter is, the price is divided among the group members. Any card payment requires a 4% bank fee while doing the transaction, which is taken by the bank itself. (Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure doesn’t own any of those 4% amounts)

  • 3. Is it possible to swap my accommodation from a mountain guesthouse to a hotel in Kathmandu?

    Substituting the accommodation or swapping from the mountain guest house to Kathmandu is not possible. We only provide 3 nights’ accommodation in Kathmandu included in the package. In case of flight cancellation or early arrival to Kathmandu due to any sickness in the mountain or any of your reason or due to bad weather and you are unable to continue the trek, you will need an extra night accommodation/s in Kathmandu. We can make these arrangements for a supplemental charge.

unexpected experience

06-Aug-2023

ヒマラヤサンクチュアリアドベンチャーのビシュヌと一緒にこの旅行をしました。彼らは最初から最後まですべての重要な取り決めを適切に整理していました。ガイドは素晴らしく、とても思いやりのある人でした。彼は、私のトレッキングをできるだけ快適にするためにずっと私を助けてくれました。私はそれらを強くお勧めします。将来、彼らと一緒に他のトレッキングを行うことは間違いありません。

FANTASTIC job showing me around Kathmandu and beyond

05-Aug-2023

I am both an expat and a seasoned traveller who made a last minute visa run to Nepal to circle Mount Everest. Bishnu and his guys took me under their wing and took me to locals-only night clubs, nice restaurants, and even some off-the-beaten-track places I would have never found on my own. These guys are honest, hard working folks. They helped me get great deals on expensive artwork, they turned me on to some amazing food, and they were infinitely patient with my never ending questions. Their English skills are quite good, and their translations opened up a world that would have been otherwise closed to me. Nepal is a fascinating country, and you WILL get SO much more out of your trip if you hire these guys to show you around. They are flexible, reasonably priced and a lot of fun to hang out with. And best of all, these guys are LOCALS and they know where ALL the cool places are. They did such a good job I am seriously thinking about going back for my visa run in January. If you have any questions about these guys, feel free to contact me: Daninchiangmai@gmail.com.

highly recommend

06-Aug-2023

I would like to highly recommend Himalaya Sanctuary. This Annapurna Base Camp is my first trekking in Nepal, the entire trip spend about 14days included first day inThamel, 2nd day in Pokhara, same as the last 2 days. The trekking days is about 10days. Package was all included accommodation, meal at mountains, except lunch and dinner at Kathmandu and Pokhara. We also amazed by the farewell dinner organised and accompanied by Bishnu and Prem who are the chairman of Himalayan Sanctuary. They also arranged an experience tour guide and strong porter to Annapurna Base Camp. Everyday Bishnu monitor our tour nin mountain ensure we are pleasant and safe along the journey, thanks. Although due to weather we unable trek further to base camp from Bamboo, the experience tour guide name Pancha purpose alternative to trek to another village. Overall we are so happy and appreciate what Himalayan Sanctuary arranged for us, thank you to Bishnu, Prem, Pancha and Bubian.
