It’s a peaceful and charming stopover for trekkers to rest and enjoy the natural beauty of the area before continuing their journey deeper into the Annapurna Region.

Electricity

You will get a good and undisturbed facility of electricity during the trip to Nepal. Even though you go to the mountain for trekking and other adventure activities, you can get the facility of electricity to charge your phones and backups. However, in some cases, you may have to face the problem of load-shedding and the local lodges and some places guesthouses may charge you some amount to charge your batteries, backups and phones in remote areas trekking. There won’t be an electricity heating system in the mountain while doing trekking or other adventure activities. 

Drinking Water

Drinking water must be pure, safe and contamination-free. You can get bottled or purified drinking water during the trip even in the mountain which is very safe for you to drink. The majority of the people who make trekking or adventure trips in the mountains go with boiled water which is prepared by the local lodges/guesthouses on the trail which is the best way to keep you safe from contaminated water. However, some people carry water purifying ingredients and they apply it to the drinking water and they drink it. But, don’t try to drink the water from the Local River, stream and taps. The bottled water you can be along the trek in the guesthouse.

Hot Shower

Actually, a warm or hot shower makes you refresh and offers you new energy during the trip and it is very necessary. If you are travelling in the city area in Nepal, you will easily get the facility of a hot shower. But, if you are making a trip to the mountains, it may be difficult to get a hot shower during the trip.  However, local lodge and guesthouses will offer you a bucket shower with warm water or they will provide a hot shower with cooking gas. If you want to do enjoy the hotel shower in the mountain, you can ask the local lodge owner to manage it for you and they will charge some money like Rs. 300-500 per individual.

Communication

You can enjoy excellent facilities of communication in Kathmandu. However, in the case of the trekking trip in the mountains, you may not be able to have such kind of facility as in the cities. But, most of the local teahouses/lodges/guesthouses/ hotels on the trail will offer you the facility of  Wi-Fi. Sometimes, you get it for free and sometimes, you may have to pay for the installation of Wi-Fi during the trip in the mountains.
The best way to access good communication over your smartphone is to get a local Nepali SIM Card like NT and NCELL. You get these local Nepali SIM Cards easily in Kathmandu and even in International Airport, Tribhuvan International Airport. For this, you have to present a copy of your passport and a passport-sized- photograph. You can buy a data pack via this local SIM Card and you make a very good communication.  You can make a call, and access the internet over it.

Trek Ends

Our trek ends at the Phedi (1130 m). You Walk down to Phedi via Dhampus where you can enjoy beautiful mountain views. Walk all the way down to Phedi and get on board a private vehicle.

Trek Extra Personal Expenses

How prodigal you are? Your trek extra personal expenses depend on it. If you love doing extra expenses on the trip, you will go to topics like alcoholic drinks, extra tea or coffee apart from the meal, tipping, some minor donations, extra snacks on the trail, some urgent personal stuff like clothing or any other equipment you immediately require on the trip in case it gets damaged or stop functioning. And, at the end of the trek, you have to give some tips to your trekking crew. For this, you have to allocate some dollars or Nepali currency.

Typical Day

The typical trip day begins with a good breakfast. You will have breakfast at around 7-8 am and begin the day after it. Then, you will have to work/walk for 3-4 hours after breakfast and you will stop for lunch. The lunchtime will be around an hour. You will order your lunch item and the restaurant/hotel/teahouse will cook for you. Sometimes, you may have to wait for some time if the restaurant or hotel is crowded. You can find the item you want in the menu prepared by the local lodge/restaurant/hotel. If you are vegetarian, no worries, you can still find the ways.

After lunch, you will resume your work/trek/trip again and end it in the after like around 3-4 pm. After that, you will check in the hotel/guesthouse/teahouse and get refreshed.

Trekking with Ram Chandra and Haven Holidays!!!

I am no expert on trekking in Nepal, but I can strongly recommend a wonderful guide named Ram Chandra. By Chance I found him while merely searching for a trekking guide. I am out first handshake I fell into a relaxed trek. From Kathmandu to ABC and back Ram Chandra was one step ahead of my curiosities. Perceptively he provided excellent service and tended to my needs with grace. He is always in good spirit. he is at peace with life and enjoys sharing smiles. For days we would trek smoothly with animated conversations about political humor, worldly family values and philosophy. When the trails got steep and difficult we would sing Nepali Love Songs to ease the struggle. After a week, i came to consider him a brother. As we are both young I hope our friendship is only beginning. I hope luck will allow me to return to Nepal again with many friends to spend time with Ram Chandra in the Himalaya again. I wish him good luck with business and in finding people as kind as light hearted as he is. Good Luck !
