Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks (soft and alcoholic), shopping, participating in optional activities and tipping.

Travelling in India and Nepal whilst the Holi festival (a lunar festival but generally held in March every year) can at times be dangerous - a lot of locals participate in consumption of intoxicating substances. The day has been associated with physical violence and danger. Your leader will advise you and your group on what places to avoid on this day and it may even be necessary for us to alter your itinerary for the day to avoid putting you or our group leader in high risk situation.

Travelling during the Hindu festival Diwali (a lunar festival but generally held between mid October to mid November every year) can also be dangerous. During this time there are many displays of fireworks in the streets. It can be very noisy for several days and there is also a lot of pollution caused by the fireworks. As there are no restrictions on buying fireworks in India, there are often injuries caused by people exploding them inappropriately. During this festival your leader may be required to alter your itinerary to avoid any dangerous areas to avoid putting the group at risk.

If you have any specific dietary requirements please include these on your booking form so we can accommodate them as far as possible.

: ACCOMODATIONS :
All holidays start and finish with a short stay in a quality hotel in Kathmandu. In general, on walks we use local lodges for accommodation, whilst treks and expeditions will involve a mixture of lodges and camping.

Those joining group trips on their own will be booked to share a room with another member of the group of the same gender. If, however, you wish to have a single room please tick the relevant box on the booking form (additional charges may apply).

Whilst on the trek, rooms and/or tents are also shared. Again, if you require a single, this can be arranged and needs to be requested on the booking form in advance.

Laundry facilities are offered by some of our hotels for a charge. In addition, laundry services can be found outside our hotel in all major cities. There may be times when you may want to or have to do your own laundry so we suggest you bring non polluting/biodegradable soap.

: What to Take :
What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, Generally speaking though, you should pack as lightly as possible.
Suitcases are not recommended! Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags with wheels are acceptable, although we recommend your bag has carry straps as well, as you may be required to negotiate bus and railway station steps. You will also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day walks and day trips.
Please see the list below for what to bring while trekking. Try to keep the weight and bulk to a minimum by bringing clothes made from lightweight material. Do not pack too much clothing; one or two changes will be all you need. However, as the weather conditions in the Himalayas are often unpredictable, be prepared for all eventualities, be it rain, unseasonable cold or heat. Bring good walking boots/shoes with ankle support that are well broken-in (this means worn frequently prior to travel because new boots will invariably cause blisters and discomfort). We provide porters to assist with carrying your luggage but you will be expected to carry your day pack and to keep your other luggage to a minimum.

Please note that sleeping bags, packs of various sizes, cold weather clothes (for all treks) are readily available to buy or hire in both Kathmandu and Pokhara at very reasonable rates. Most items can also be hired for around US$2 per day. We can assist you in renting gear as appropriate. If you plan to hire a sleeping bag, we recommend that you bring an inner sleeping sheet, which adds another layer of warmth as well as an additional layer of hygiene. For the trek all of your gear should be packed into plastic bags to protect from rain etc. Dry clothes are essential for your comfort.

: TREKS/EXPEDITIONS :
All camping equipment (provided) as well as your personal gear are carried by porters. The only items you need to keep with you while walking are personal requirements such as your water bottle, sunscreen and camera. A comfortable daypack is required to carry these. Please note that you need to either bring or hire a four-season sleeping bag for our Tented treks. There are safe storage facilities for valuables before leaving on the trek. As we will be spending most of the trek away from villages there is no need to bring large amounts of money with you. Enough to cover some soft drinks or teas will suffice. Your group leader will go over this before departure.

:: Culture Shock Rating ::
Expect to rough it every now and again, whether it's very simple group-share accommodation at a homestay, a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, the odd cold shower or an encounter with a squat toilet.

: Top 12 responsible travel tips :
- Before leaving home learns as much as possible about the countries you are visiting- the religion and culture, the local rules and values.
- Learn more language and don’t be afraid to use it – simple pleasantries will help break the ice. Keep practicing.
- Learn appropriate behavior and body language. Like the concept of “saving face” in Asia or giving the thumbs up in western or central   Europe.
- Support locally owned businesses, hotels restaurant and other services. Eat local food and drink local brands and brews. Use public   transport, hire a bike or walk where convenient- you’ll meet local people and get to know the place
- Think first. It’s best not to eat in restaurants, shops in stores or visit local shows, markets or zoos that promote cruelty or exploitation of   endangered species.
- Shop from traditional artisans and for locally-made products, helping keep traditional crafts alive and favor local products over imported   items. Bargain if that is a local practice, but bear in mind that a small amount to you could be extremely important to the seller.
- Dress respectfully with an awareness of local standards. Dress modestly at religious cities and check what swim wear is suitable for pool   and the beach.
- Always ask first before photograph or videoing people. Send them back copies of photos to help make it a two way exchange.
- Be wary of giving gifts or money to beggars, children and people you have just met. Supporting the community through a local school,   clinic or development project may be more constructive.
- Leave only footprints… take care of the environment as you would your own home. Take out all you take in, to areas away from the   cities. Use alternatives to plastic and say “No” to plastic bags. For cigarette butts, an empty film container makes perfect portable   container.
- After returning home think how you can support programs and organization that are working to protect the welfare, culture and   environment of where you’ve been lucky to visit.
- Smile and have fun.
