Health:
All our trek and camping staff carry a basic first-aid kit equipped to take care of minor ailments. However you are advised to take along your specific medication if required.
The most common health problem in the hills is diarrhea due to various reasons. However we ensure that you are supplied with ample safe drinking water and hygienically prepared food. We also make sure you get the right amount of acclimatization before heading into higher altitudes. Our staff is well trained to notice symptoms of high altitude sickness and take adequate measures. Those with heart disease, high blood pressure asthma or vertigo may not be able to undertake some of our treks. Just tell us which trek you'd like to go on and we can suggest one suitable for your condition.
Note: It is important that you take out personal/medical insurance before commencing on any trip. Your policy should carry cover for repatriation and helicopter rescue. Also carry a photocopy of all your important documents.

Food & Water:
All our food is vegetarian prepared hygienically by our expert outdoor cooks. Our cooks' repertoire of cuisine includes Tibetan and Western dishes - delicious, in plenty and most of all nutritious. A typical breakfast would be - fresh porridge, cornflakes, milk, eggs and parantha (wheat bread) with Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or herbal teas. Lunch is varied with mixed vegetables, boiled eggs and chappatis prepared fresh every morning. Dinner is wholesome with hot soup, rice, chapattis, lentils / beans, vegetables and a dessert. Of course you can also let us know if you want a particular kind of diet before we start the trek. All water used in treks and camps are purified although you may want to bring along some iodine tablets as an added precaution. You are advised to bring along a water bottle - the metal type - so as to avoid any use of plastics in the outdoors. For washing we provide hot water each morning.

Baggage:
Our trek equipment and supplies are normally carried by sturdy mules, horses or Yaks. Sometimes a particular trek route may require the use of porters. Just carry what you need on the trail like your raincoat, camera, spare socks, and your water bottle. For your rucksack we provide water proof canvas sacks which are loaded on the horses.
