Top Tips for Trekkers from local Sherpas
1 Always carry local currency
2 Hire local guides and porters who have both the knowledge and experience of these challenging mountains
3 Keeping drinking! It is critical to always stay hydrated.
4. The Khumbu Cough, otherwise known as the high-altitude hack, will make trekking/breathing more difficult. The very dry air causes it. We recommend you avoid over-exertion and wear a face mask to keep the moisture in the air going into your lungs.
5 Be aware of how quickly the temperature can drop when the sun sets
6 Never trek on your own!
7. Don’t be complacent about altitude sickness – this can affect anyone and if it affects someone in your group the best advice is to get them down the mountain as fast as you can.
8. बिस्तारी Bistārī ! Aside from emergency measures for altitude sickness, remember ‘bistari, bistari’. This means ‘slowly’. Go slowly, step by step, don’t rush, this is Nepal, the pace of life is much slower than you will be used to and our mountains are challenging!
