Organized treks in Nepal | Nepal Tourism | Know more about Treks

Lodge Treks Many people prefer to avoid the daily haggling for food and shelter. Most trekking companies offer a package that includes a guide, porter and accommodation for a fixed daily rate. Depending on the company, food may or may not be included in the cost. This arrangement works best with a single trekker or a group of less than five. Group Lodge Treks A number of adventure travel companies offer escorted lodge treks, which they often call ‘teahouse treks’. Most companies take over an entire lodge for their group and provide all food and accommodation as part of the package. Porters carry your gear, and a guide travels with the group during the day and handles all the arrangements for meals and dealings with bureaucracy. This way of arranging your trek can be particularly useful in the busy autumn season, when lodges are full. Camping Treks Most group camping treks are organized in advance by adventure travel companies abroad. These companies provide

First known as Peak XV on the Tibet - Nepal border, it was discovered to be the world's highest mountain in 1856 by the Survey Department of the Government of India, from theodolite readings taken in 1849 and 1850. Its height was calculated to be 8,840 m 29,002 ft. The mountain was named after Col. Sir George Everest (UK), who was Surveyor-General of India from 1830 to 1843, and who, in fact, pronounced his name 'Eve-rest' as opposed to 'Ever-est'.

How to Find a Toilet in Kathmandu | Big Problem | It's Solution

Image
  How to Find a Toilet in Kathmandu? People often remark on the lack of infrastructure in Nepal and I agree. Sometimes even finding a clean toilet can be a problem. I’ve learned a few tricks during my 5 years in Nepal this is one of them. First, you can ask to use the toilet anywhere and no one ever seems to mind, however you will find toilets locked in many businesses. Someone will be happy to provide you with a key. You will come upon some toilets that are monitored by a woman who sits there and expects 5-20 rupees per use. Sometimes these toilets are a bit cleaner, but not always. The cleanest toilets are at banks. I was quite surprised to find a condom dispenser of free condoms in the ladies toilet in the Standard Chartered Bank in New Banaswhor, but it’s the same with most toilets at banks. This is usually convenient, but keep in mind that banks close early on Friday and there are many holidays.  The city of Kathmandu has recently started provided mobile toi
