ESSENTIAL TREK INFO
Good to Know
Dos

- Please refer to your guide if you are planning to try something new during the trek.
- Make sure you are well prepared for the upcoming day; Request the guide about the things you might need the next day, as you can pack them in your pouch, while the rest is carried by the porter for expediency.
- Contribution aids the donation boxes at monasteries along the trekking route, where visitors are not charged for tickets.

Don’ts
- Criticizing the local culture and beliefs should not be done throughout the trek, even though you are not used to it.
- Authorization of local people is a must before you take images of the local people while you are on the trek.
- People here are welcoming in nature; Do not feel cautious when folks stare at you; they are just concerned about visitors and have no ill intentions.
- Finding overgenerous facilities is difficult during the trek. At the same time, basic services can only be provided due to the difficulty of the geographical regions in which you are located for the time being.
- Destructive behaviour towards flora and fauna along the trek should be avoided at all costs, as you should be responsible for the environment.
- Contributing money to folks will inspire children and beggars to observe and plead more from visitors, which is why such performances should be rejected entirely.
