some time flights from Kathmandu to Lukla /Kathmandu  can be delayed or canceled for a day due to  bad weather. It is very rarely, it can be happen even best season, March, April and October/November.

                       Water:

The streams should be considered polluted and whilst bottled water is often available the disposal of plastic bottles is a problem. Have some means to purify water, iodine and/or a fine ceramic filter are the best option.

                 Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness if a serious consideration if you are climbing or trekking in Nepal and it's essential that you investigate the causes, symptoms and treatment of altitude sickness before you travel to Nepal.

                     Symptoms:

The symptoms of Altitude sickness in Nepal are nausea, irritability, headaches, a dry cough and in more severe cases of Altitude sickness the victim may start to cough up a pink frothy substance and lose their balance as though drunk.

                      Prevention:

It is essential that you give your body time to acclimatize as you ascend. If you fly into high altitudes during your trip to Nepal, then you should spend two to three nights at that place enjoying the local attractions and resting. This should give you time to acclimatize. You should take great note of your body at all times and if you feel the slightest of Altitude sickness symptoms then you should remain where you are until these have passed. As you ascend take frequent breaks at each 1000 meters and, again do not continue to ascend if you are feeling the slightest of Altitude sickness symptoms.

                    Treatment:

If you are experiencing Altitude sickness during your trip to Nepal then it is essential that you ascend immediately and do not attempt to climb again until your body has acclimatized. Severe cases may need to be flown out, so ensure that you have adequate travel insurance during your trip to Nepal.

                Travel Insurance:

Travel insurance is very important for your safety. In the event of any high altitude sickness or injury, the cost of emergency treatment and evacuation is shocking. Therefore, travel insurance is strongly recommended for everyone who joins with Adventure Great Himalaya Trekking Company.
