Trekking in the Himalaya- Guideline

Table of Contents

Trekking in the Himalayas takes you through some of the most stunning and challenging landscapes in the world, but if you go prepared and with the right equipment, it can be an incredible experience.

Before you set out on your Trekking in the Himalayas, make sure you follow these 7 essential guidelines to make sure your trek goes off without a hitch!

  1. Pre-Trek preparations-

Preparation is the key to success in any field. Therefore, trek preparation is a must before heading to trekking in the Himalayas. The best thing you can do is to get yourself acclimatized to higher altitudes and pre-trek exercise. It will help you a lot during your trek and will keep you safe from altitude sicknesses. Moreover, trek the right gears are the highlight of your journey.

  1. Good to Do-
  • Plan your travel ahead to get good deals on accommodation and travel.
  • Move clockwise around chortens and stupas, and you may leave a donation at gompas and temples if you wish.
  • Minimize your needs and carbon footprint, especially when you are in high-altitude areas.
  • Allow enough time to acclimatize properly when you are at a high altitude.
  1. Not good to do-
  • waste natural resources in the mountains
  • Enter a private home with your shoes on, or get up from the meal until everyone has finished eating.
  • Take photos of people without seeking permission.
  • Shop in Thamel without comparing prices in other shops.
  • Drink tap water. Use boiled or bottled water.
  1. Bag pack.

Light 60 Liter, trek backpack. This is a good size for most people, and it’s not too heavy or bulky. Make sure that your bag has lots of pockets on different sides so that you can keep things organized while you’re on your trip. And make sure that it’s water-resistant! If you are hiring a porter to carry your stuff then you can pack your stuff in a duffel bag and along with it, you will need a daily carry bag. So, you can carry your essentials only while trekking.

  1. Research about the destination.

Travelers must be aware of cultural differences when visiting a new country. In some countries, it is not acceptable to show affection in public or point with your index finger, for example. Knowing about these customs will help you stay out of trouble and enjoy your trip more fully. It is also important to understand that different languages are spoken throughout Asia and knowing a few key phrases will make your travels much easier as well as increase your ability to interact with locals.

  1. Safe Trekking.

Safety first. Make sure all our gears are in hand. Don’t take chances with your life! Never be too confident about your trekking skills or physical abilities. Take precautions and use common sense at all times. Ask for help if you need it and never go alone. Don’t assume anything—ask questions, read up on what you can do before you get there, and make a plan with someone who knows what they’re doing before heading out into unfamiliar territory. Be prepared for any situation—it could save your life!

  1. Planning your route.

Itinerary planning is a crucial part of any trek. When you’re planning your route, it’s important to consider a few things. First, you need to determine how long you want your trek to last—the more time you have, the more likely it is that you can take detours and add on side trips. Next, choose which area of Nepal or Tibet appeals most to you—this will help determine which routes are available and what kinds of terrain and climate you can expect.

  1. Acute Mountain Sickness.

Altitude sickness can happen from 3000-meter elevations. It is not uncommon for trekkers and climbers to experience symptoms of AMS at these altitudes, especially if they are not acclimatized or overexert themselves. It is important that you do not push yourself too hard when you first arrive at altitude and that you take it easy during your first few days of acclimatization. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances.

If any of the symptoms are experienced. Console your guide. Take medication and drink a lot of fluids. If you feel uncomfortable after getting some rest, it is best to descend to a lower elevation.
