 Mountain climbers, serious trekkers, romantics sauntering through the foothills of the Himalayas, native porters, skiers in North America and Europe, pilgrims to high altitude shrines, diplomats posted to La Paz or Lhasa, miners in South America, and Everest marathon runners have something in common: they are all exposed to the effects of high altitude, and may be at risk from a potentially fatal but eminently preventable problem: Acute Mountain Sickness, commonly referred to just as AMS.

If you already do not know where Nepal is
(which might be the case), take a globe, or for the more net savvy,
get on google earth and spin it to where India and China are..
between these two countries, you will find a small country with the
mighty Himalayas on its north. That is where you are planning to
come. There are basically two ways into the country, by land and by
air. |

So, is it true that you can travel without
a guide? The answer is yes, you can. Virtually any travel can be
done without a guide. However, if you do want to enhance your
experience and also support the local economy and employment
generation, using a guide is a important step to take. A guide can
also save your life. |

 Travel light! Our experience is that no matter how much you tell anyone not to bring stuff that you do not require, something does manage to make it. That is human nature. We do not allow our porters to carry more than 20 kgs, and highly recommend that you keep your porterage baggage to about 10 kilos (believe us, that is enough) and a small day bag. The list we have developed is for trekking, but works almost with any travel anywhere.
