What's it like to trek at high altitude?
A one in a lifetime experience. The scenery is spectacular. It's like being on the roof of the world. Sporotually, well, everyone has their own ecperience. But many say they feel like they've been lifted to a higher consciousness. Astronauts circling the earth report how the image of our globe far below, forever changes the way they look at the world. For some, high altitude trekking is similar. Being exposed to such a phenomenal scale creates a mystical awareness of the majesty of our planed.
Above 10.000 feet, some people feel mild symptoms associated with decreased oxygen levels" a small headache, some loss of appetite, a slight feeling of malaise, But the human body has great adaptive abilities. By walking at a leisurely pave. drinking lots of water, and protecting yourself from the sun, most of these symptoms either never appear, or go away with a good night's rest. The trek itineraries are designed specifically to minimize the chance of any altitude problems, and our experienced leadership is there to make sure all goes well. Should anyone begin to develop significant symptoms of altitude sickness, we have them escorted by a staff member dowm to the altitude at which they last felt well (usually the previous night's camp), and they're fine.
-
What are the washing facilities like on trekking holidays?
For Camping trek, each morning the trekking crew will bring you a bowl of hot water so you can have a wash in the tent (bring your own flannel). On the campsite, the toilets are simple holes dug in the ground with a tent around so you have complete privacy. Outside the tent the crew leaves a large bowl of potassium permanganate solution for washing hands afterwards. On breaking camp, the crew will fill in the hole, so the process is as environmentally friendly as possible. On holidays in Nepal where we stay in Tea House some have showers though not always a supply of hot water. These also have toilets but are rarely plumbed in with a flush.

What Happens in the event of the bad weather?
Weather is difficult to predict. If the weather condition is extreme, in such circumstances we would consider the options of waiting out the weather or selecting a different itinerary if possible.
