Trekking in Nepal for Dummies Part 3

Many people have been disturbed about their safety. Is it protected to go to Nepal, they ask? Is it protected to trek? Will the yak kill me? Will we fall ill as well as die? Well, it all depends upon what we do.
The crime rate in Nepal is relatively low. KL is probably the riskier place than Katmandu. There is small danger of getting mugged in Katmandu or any alternative Nepali town. Unless of march we travel around alone during 2 a.m., brandishing loads of money as well as gold. The biggest danger in Katmandu as well as alternative towns would be the trade so watch how we travel along or cranky roads.
Trekking itself is flattering protected upon many of the determined trails. Remember which these trails have been additionally used by the locals daily. As prolonged as we hang to the determined trails as well as follow simple rules, no harm will befall you. Having said that, many trekkers humour needless injuries due to carelessness. Stepping off the cliff while taking photographs, standing upon the cliffside when occurrence the yak/mule train, using down slopes, etc. You will additionally risk serious injuries if we decide to wrestle with the yak. BTW, we will not get mugged upon the trek.
Do not collect the quarrel with the yak. You will not win.
On the longer, remote as well as higher rise trek, there is ever-present danger of strident towering illness (AMS). Once we pass 3000m, we need to be unwavering of the symptoms of AMS. There is plenty! of lite rature upon AMS, usually google it. As we go higher up the mountains as well as as we encounter snow, we might need additionally to strengthen your eyes from the glare.
Medical facilities
It is advisable to move along your own medical/first assist pack (and have certain we know how to make use of it). If we have been really ill as well as unable to walk, your beam will be means to find the horse or pony to carry you.
On longer as well as tall rise trek, we should have insurance coverage which embody emergency evacuation by helicopter. During my mass departure to EBC last year, there were people being brought down the towering upon helicopters as well as there were people carried down by horses.
So upon long, tall rise treks, greatfully have certain which your insurance coverage is comprehensive.
Clothing
If we mass departure is mostly below 3000m as well as we have been movement during March May as well as September November, we do not have to be concerned too many about clothing. It will be cold in the morning as well as late evening, so we will need the little lay waste as well as windbreakers. During trekking, your physique generates heat, so thick wardrobe won't be necessary. we typically will wear the t-shirt (dry-fit) with the lay waste upon tip with my movement pants. But do keep your coupler in your backpack usually in box the continue turns bad.
However if we have been movement upon top of 3000m 5000m, afterwards we need to be clever about your clothing. Thermals as well as down-jacket h! ave been necessary. You might need the great goretex / towering jacket. A great pair of gloves will be really useful tall up in the mountains. When we trekked upon top of 4500m, my typical wardrobe during movement would be thermals, lay waste as well as goretex coupler as well as pants.
BTW, we can buy all the garments as well as movement gears in Katmandu for the fragment of the price which we might pay in Malaysia.
At 5360m. Upper physique : thermals, fleece, downjacket. Lower physique : thermals, movement pants, goretex pants. Others : two covering gloves, balakalava, sunglasses. Underwear hidden. Photo : Monyet King with Martin "the yak" Moguring. Note : movement stick is really useful.
At 4400m. Upper physique : thermals, fleece. Lower physique : thermals, goretex pants. Others : lay waste gloves, balakalava, sunglasses. Underwear hidden.LaundryDon't be concerned about we do your laundry. we never do any washing as well as many people don't. The H2O is too cold to wash any of your cloths as well as even if we wash, they might not dry. So it is okay keep wearing the same garments day in da! y out. I f we usually movement for 4 5 days, usually the single set of garments should be enough (but we should have the single set standby in box the alternative gets wet). On longer treks, we should have during slightest two sets of clothes.

What about underwear? we have always used disposable cotton underwear. They have been flattering poor as well as we can buy them in many large pharmacies.


To immersion or not to shower
Most people never immersion during the trekking, whether it is 2 day-trek or 14-day trek. It is not value it. During our outing to the EBC last year, many of us did not immersion for fourteen days it was alright. Although it is probable to find how immersion or ask the lodges to yield we with the bucket of hot water, the hassle of immersion is simply not value it.

I would simply make use of the soppy wipes to purify my face as well as underarms. You could additionally move along the glass sanitizers which would be useful to fast purify parts of your body.


Important things to move along
In addition to what we have already referred to in this as well as progressing articles, we will need the following :
  • sunblock lotion
  • sun glasses
  • lip balm
  • trekking pole
  • personal medication !

Trekking in Nepal is fun. You need to be reasonably fit but we do not have to be the fitness freak or run marathons in order to mass departure in Nepal. Even children can do it. Take it easy as well as go slow. It is not the race. Most importantly, we contingency enjoy the journey.
