Repatriation insurance, with airlines(from the sickness/accident site to Katmandu) as well as on-site medical care is compulsory.We cannot secure foreign goods and people in Nepal and there is no civil liability.I have to plan to make vaccines? Anti-malarial treatment? No vaccines are compulsory. However, please check your last tuberculosis booster shot.Anti-malarial treatment is only required if you are going to terai regions during monsoon.

As per the Kathmandu Post of 21 July 2017: "Following quite a while of delay and exchanges among specialists and counter-experts, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) has at last proclaimed Nepal a protected objective as far as air security for domestic and international flights. Surely, Nepal has figured out how to meet the ICAO guidelines as far as aeronautics security and more, since as per the report, the consistence rate came to is about 66%, a rate higher than the obligatory consistence pace of 60% forced by the ICAO. Nepalese airlines are now permitted to fly in European airspace which will allow contributing positively to build the quantity of vacationers in the region and to the organizations of the travel industry to propose more diversified tour and at a lower rate. On the off chance that the Nepalese organizations are as yet on the EU boycott, this acknowledgment by the ICAO will assist with accelerating the lifting of EU limitations, realizing that these limitations are authoritatively pertinent just to "The restriction for Nepalese organizations from arriving on European air terminals" and not to domestic flights. Domestics' flights are very reliable. We have not had any occurrences to regret for almost 20 years that we exist."

The best is to carry a bottle, then fill it with faucet water from lodges and use water cleaning tablets (MICROPUR style). You can get it in Kathmandu in pretty much every store. Check one tablet for every liter of water and at least 2 liters of water each day. However, in the town its safe to buy water bottles.

our guide or transfer agent will be waiting for you in front of the entrance of Kathmandu airport with your name or our company logo on a board.

Yes, all of our guides are fluent in English. We only provide jobs to trekking guides who have impeccable speaking skills in English and experience in the mountains. Please feel free to ask them about the environment and the Sherpa culture which you will encounter on your trek.

Spring (March, April, May) and autumn (Sept, Oct, Nov) are the best months of the year to visit Nepal. During this time, the weather is pleasant with loads of warm sunlight. The sky is clear so you can truly enjoy the remarkable Nepalese landscape and the Himalayan views. During the monsoon (June, July, Aug) although there will be no problem with trekking, lower visibility and rain could be an issue. However, for nature lovers, the monsoon is a blessing, as the higher valleys, mountains, and meadows blossom with flowers and abundant vegetation. You can trek in winter (Dec, Jan, Feb), especially in the hilly regions, yet as you reach higher elevations you can expect low temperatures and a heavy snowfall. If you don’t necessarily enjoy crowds, trekking during the monsoon or winter or choosing more solitary trekking destinations could be your options. Note that due to global warming there has been a change in the regular climate worldwide and Nepal is no exception. Please be open to unpredictable weather conditions as well.

In the event that you show up on the principal day of your visit with our office - your first night on location has been held by us – a transfer staff of our office will get you at the air terminal and will take you to the hotel. In the event that your first night in Kathmandu has not been reserved by us, we are not answerable for air terminal/lodging move for calculated reasons. You will then, at that point need to mastermind your exchange to the lodging booked by you or take a taxi. If your last night has been reserved by us, our staff will go with you out at the air terminal. On the off chance that your last room has been reserved by you, you should request your hotel to take care from your transportation or get a taxi.

Unfortunately, that’s a ‘no’. But, you surely can hire it from Kathmandu and we will help you. You will find equipment in Kathmandu to be much more affordable than your home countries.

We understand the possibilities of any kind of emergencies and we ensure that we will do the utmost of our abilities to assist you. Everything, however, is not in our hands and there are some legal constraints too. We assure you that we will always stand besides you and help you in any possible way.

We cannot keep your personal belongings at the agency because there are many passengers; we have neither the capacity to store all the travelers’ belongings nor the possibility to ensure the security of your belongings. However, you can leave your belongings for free at the left-luggage office of your hotel in Kathmandu before the trek and take it back after (as you will sleep in the same hotel). Yet you have you carry your personal belongings with you.

Leadership certified

A good leader is a key factor for all successful trips. All leaders can be a great guide, but every guide cannot be a great leader. Every year, before start the season soul Himalaya treks places all the guides for leadership training on a regular basis, which makes the standard of our guides beyond all competitions. Without the leadership skills and proper training, a guide cannot make the right decision at the right time. This is very important, especially in the mountains because you do not have time to think and consult with the office as sometimes the communication gets unreliable in the remote areas and the guides will have to take prompt decisions and respond accordingly

Wordless first aid certified

Trips in the wilderness do not guarantee safety unless backed up with first aid knowledge and training. There are no hospitals or health centers in every place in the mountains. Our highly professional guides are WFR and WFA trained and act as medical assistants during emergencies in the mountains until bringing a sick hiker back to the nearest hospital or to the city. Guides treat from their extensive first aids medical kit, which is mandatorily to be carried by the lead guide on all trips

Altitude evacuation

We do not compromise your safety at any cost in the mountains, which is crucial. It is truly sad that lots of cheap operators fool around with a trekker’s life. A guide needs to make the right decision at the right time, so they deserve to be trained on High Altitude evacuation training.

We make accessible in the pharmacy, Diamox which forestalls side effects of intense mountain disorder, the best therapy in case of severe pain is to go down quick and afterward a helicopter departure that is consistently conceivable on the circuit. We can make oxygen bottles accessible to the group.

Everyone reacts differently to altitude, it is almost impossible to predict in advance who will react and how. Mountain sickness can affect people in excellent physical fitness as well as short-form people. This is not an exact science. The key to the success of your stay, and to put all the chances on your side for not suffering altitude, is acclimatization. That's why our itineraries take this factor very seriously and are designed to make you acclimate to the best. However, problems inherent to the altitude can arise. In fact, the lack of oxygen causes over-reactions of the body that can go from mere shortness of breath (no worries in this case) to pulmonary or cerebral embolism (Acute mountain sickness). If symptoms of nausea, dizziness and vomiting are added to the shortness of breath, it is necessary to intervene quickly. That is why we require our clients to take out repatriation insurance, because we must mobilize a helicopter. That is why we also train our guides in these situations. Situations of acute mountain sickness are however extremely rare and represent only a very small proportion of the trekkers (less than 1% of our travelers). Because if we intervene quickly and go down a little, there are no complications. To finish, even if it is not demonstrated, a good physical condition helps to better resist the oxygen fall. Objectively, no major physiological problems are to be deplored below 3 500m. The average mountain treks are therefore safe on this side. We therefore recommend reporting any problems to your guide and not keep it to yourself. We also recommend raising your head (with a cushion or clothes) when you spend the night above 3 500m.

In lodges, there are beds, in Nepali standard. Often, they are wood bed base with a mattress on top. (And not spring or lath bed base). Bedrooms in lodge are not warmed. Only the common room is warmed. That is why we suggest you bring a comfortable sleeping bag for your treks (-5°C minimum).

You will be able to recharge your gadgets in pretty much every cabins and hotels; however, you should pay an additional cost nearby in every accommodation. These are European plugs so no compelling reason to have a connector! On the circuit for instance, all lodges have electricity. Thus, we can re-charge in the main rooms of the lodges. At higher altitude, it is charged from 200 to 300 Nrs (1.5 to 2, 5 € for recharging)!

The time of walking indicated in the itinerary remains indicative, we based this time of walking on a walk at a quiet pace for normal trekkers.

The organization isn't great always, and in some cases it is inexistent. You’d rather not rely on the network in some areas. However, you will have Wi-Fi in few lodges, not necessary all of them; it is sometimes charged as an extra price when the lodges do not have solar panel. Same with electricity which is in every lodge but, when there is no solar panel, recharging devices and hot showers will be an additional price.

Meals are all taken in lodges or restaurants on our way between two stages, except if crossing passes for instance.In this case, the lunch is a picnic (planned by the guide in any case).

It is possible to lease trekking material in Katmandu, particularly in Thamel, the tourist area. It is possible to lease sleeping bags (for different temperatures), crampons, sticks, and so on. You can likewise purchase trekking fabrics (coats, pants, shirts, etc...) at alluring costs. however, everything relies upon the quality you are looking for. It very well may be fascinating to purchase things here, as we discover everything, brands, copies, sub-brands, buy second handed, we can even sell sometimes. You simply need to realize that everything isn't "true" thus sometimes of poor quality, depending upon the shops, however the items keep their main function(keeping warm, for instance).

You will find money exchange counters all over Kathmandu. There are also few at the airport, but the exchange rates are rarely attractive. As we pick you up at the airport, you will not need money immediately, so we would advise you to change in town.

In case of changing/international flight problem, contact: Sarki Sherpa (+ 9779841482294).In case of loss of baggage: your insurance + complain to the customs In case of loss/theft of the papers: contact the your related Embassy or consulate in Kathmandu: (And don't forget to carry a photocopy of your passport) dial the 01 from a mobile phone or outside the valley/or dial 00977 and your numbers In case of problem during the trek (accident, altitude sickness) Call your Guide (we will give you his number) If no one picks you up at the airport when the transfer is planned: Contact Pemba Sherpa (+ 977 9843544387).

Almost, but some parts of some trek are deprived of effective communication facilities. We ensure you that you won’t have to go 3 days without Internet or communication facilities.

For your flights Paris-Nepal, please refer to the airline terms and conditions. For domestic flights: -Flight Katmandu – Pokhara/Chitwan/Biratnagar/Nepalgunj: 20 kilos in hold and 5 kilos of hand baggage/person -Flight Kathmandu – Lukla/Katmandu – Tumlingtar/Katmandu – Phaplu/Pokhara – Jomson/Nepalgunj – Juphal/Nepalgunj – Simikot/Nepalgunj – Jumla: 15 kilos in hold and one hand baggage/person POSSIBLE supplement charge on the spot FROM 1 TO $1.5 ACCORDING TO AIRPORTS.

Responsible Travel

In Nepal, escalating demands on the delicate mountain ecosystem and the sustaining communities necessitate a strategic approach. Soul Himalaya is dedicated to traversing conscientiously, preserving the visited areas, and fostering positive impacts on local communities.

Soul Himalaya adheres to a set of fundamental tenets concerning responsible travel, encompassing:

Environmental Protection – safeguarding flora, fauna, and landscapes
Cultural Respect – honoring local traditions, religions, and heritage.
Community Advancement – fostering economic and social benefits.
Natural Resource Conservation – spanning the entire journey, from planning to destination.
Pollution Minimization – addressing noise, waste disposal, and congestion.
Staff Welfare Assurance – ensuring equitable compensation, insurance, and appropriate equipment for all personnel.

Essentially, embracing the concept of mindful, low-impact travel emerges as the optimal strategy for safeguarding the exquisite and delicate destinations we traverse. It not only facilitates profound opportunities to intimately explore and discover but also enables a firsthand experience of the marvels that Nepal proudly presents.

Soul Himalaya stands as a distinguished Nepali institution, strategically engaging local partners, dedicated staff, sustainable suppliers, and conscientious businesses. This deliberate approach ensures that resources and prosperity circulate within the nation, actively contributing to the fortification of Nepal's economy.

Aligned with our unwavering principles, we earnestly urge our patrons to embody the essence of responsible tourism. When venturing into new realms, we implore travelers to prioritize the safeguarding and conservation of places, cultures, and environments. As a conscientious traveler, it is incumbent upon you to:

Enhance your motivational awareness as you embark on your journey by delving into the intricacies of your destination's culture. Foster an open mindset, respecting local customs and refraining from judgment. Remember, you are a guest—observe without intrusion, seek permission before capturing moments, and exercise sensitivity in every situation.

Demonstrate cultural respect by patronizing diverse restaurants and local shops, contributing to economic growth. Refrain from purchasing products linked to endangered species or cultural heritage. Engage in lighthearted bargaining, ensuring fair prices that satisfy both parties.

Promote environmental consciousness by preserving natural resources, particularly water, in areas prone to shortages. opt for a refillable bottle to minimize plastic waste, treating water for safe consumption. In urban and rural settings alike, leave no trace—dispose of rubbish responsibly or carry it home if suitable facilities are unavailable. Your conscientious actions contribute to a positive impact on both local communities and the environment.

Leadership trained from Nepal moutainneering association NMA

A good leader is a vital factor for every prosperous trip. "Each leader can be an extraordinary; however every guide can't be an incredible leader". Consistently, Soul Himalaya puts every single staff for preparing consistently, which makes the perfect training. Without the leadership abilities and legitimate preparing, a guide can't settle on the perfect choice at the perfect time. This is vital, particularly in the mountains since you don't have the opportunity to think and talk with the workplace as some of the time the correspondence gets untrustworthy in the far off regions and the guides should take brief choices and react appropriately.

First aid trained like WFA &WFR from national outdooer leadership school NOLS

Travelling in the wild don't ensure wellbeing if upheld with emergency treatment information we must be prepared. There are no clinics or wellbeing focuses in each spot in the mountains. Our exceptionally proficient guides are WFR&WFA trained, during crises in the mountains until taking a debilitated climber back to the closest medical clinic or to the city. Guides treat from their broad first aids clinical pack, which is compulsorily to be conveyed by the leader or guide on all trips.

High altitude trained Nepal moutainneering association NMA

The main view is to provide best service with safety. We don't compromise your safety at any expense in the mountains, which is essential. It is really sad where most of cheap operators fool around with traveller’s life. We have a ZERO DEATH record on our over five years of activity, why? A guide needs to settle on the perfect choice at the perfect time, so they have the right to be prepared on High Altitude where we have professional guides. It is phenomenal concerning when or where the requirement for clearing emerges while journeying or moving in the high mountains where there are no health posts or street availability in the crisis to take back to the city's emergency clinic. There is no other option, aside from salvage and departure via air emergency vehicle, which is exceptionally problematic to sort out during the high season. Soul Himalaya has Helicopter services when required, we can arrange one promptly to protect and save your life.
