The participants must be aware that the mountaineering expeditions under the arrangements of Imagine Nepal Trek & Expeditions Pvt. Ltd and its subsidiaries, associates or agents carry an inherent risk of injury or death. In particular, climbing in the Himalayas includes risks such as very high altitude and icefall climbing which may be exceptional compared with the participant’s everyday norms. Our objective is to reduce this risk to the lowest possible level; however, the risk of the accident remains triggered by events such as Rockfalls, avalanches, and serac falls as well as earthquake risk, travel by aircraft, car, coach, or any other means of conveyance including accidents or illness in remote regions with little or no medical facilities and without means of speedy communication and evacuation will constitute part of these risks accepted by every participant at all times.
The company will provide a first aid emergency kit, emergency oxygen bottle and satellite phone. In addition, the trekking and expedition group leaders are certified emergency medical technicians who can administer basic first aid if needed. We also have radios for communication during the climbing part of the expedition and a hyperbaric chamber at base camp.
As the company pays for the total number of nights mentioned in the specific program, members must pay for any extras such as mini-bar or laundry at check-out to reduce costs. The member would pay directly to the hotel for any additional night to the number specified in the program. Kathmandu’s hotels are good quality, on a bed & breakfast basis. And during the trek, the accommodation is in the basic lodges on a shared room basis (2 people); depending on the situation, a single room can be provided. In exceptional circumstances, a tent can be used as accommodation. The twin-shared rooms or tents are always the same gender unless requested otherwise.
The company covers the cost of breakfast, lunch and dinner while on the trek. The member will choose meals provided in the lodges on the menu. Tea is free of charge for the member. However, any other drinks (including water bottles), snacks, or food outside breakfast, lunch, and dinner is payable directly by the member or the lodge.
Our guides are professionals selected from the most loyal, expert and experienced Sherpa. We pay great attention to the guide’s quality of training and their experience. Although our Sherpa may not speak English fluently, they are very friendly and communicate with trekkers in a simple way that is easy to understand.
It is customary to tip all trekking crew at the end of the trip for their excellent service to make your trip successful. The tips are given at the end of the trek, and this is best done as a group. Were commend that each group member contributes around $100 (in rupees) for the trekking crew and part of the collection to the group leader on the last trek day or during dinner in Kathmandu. In addition, you are welcome to give away some of the equipment or clothing you will not take back home; you can donate to the local staff; for this, your group leader will make arrangements for a fair distribution among the crew.”

The official currency of Nepal is the rupee. There are various money exchangers in the city where you can exchange your currency for Nepalese rupees. The exchange rate differs slightly between hotels, tourist agencies, money changers and banks. Exchange rates will also vary between different bank branches. Check out www.nrb.org.np for current rates before your trip, and bring new crisp notes with you, as old ones may be difficult to exchange.
Acclimatization to high altitudes is mandatory for any trip above 3500 meters. We take this very seriously, so we have one of the best safety records in the Himalayas. Our itineraries allow for a safe approach to high altitudes, following the high altitude safety guidelines. We even carry Oxygen, a mask, a regulator and an altitude chamber for your safety and peace of mind on all treks above 4000 meters.
Most people who go trekking in the high Himalayas can ascend and descend mountain passes without needing any additional medication. However, if you are taking any medications to aid acclimatization, Diamox is commonly recommended.-Then it is vital to advise your leader in Kathmandu before leaving for the start of the trek. He will then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of taking this medication, particularly when you should consider starting it and the duration for which it should be taken. Be aware that many trekkers do not need such medicines.
It is all about the weather window and summit route fixing. The Basecamp remains open until the summit push is made that can extend. All our mountaineering expedition dates published are the predicted date, so we will not charge an additional cost for that. It is vice versa, which means if you make the summit before the mentioned dates, we do not refund you for the unused service at the base camp. So climbers are suggested to book Flexi flights.
We cannot guarantee that you will walk in the snow during trekking, but snow levels vary primarily with altitude. Other weather conditions and terrain also play a role. Lower-altitude treks rarely encounter snow, even in the winter. But higher altitude treks can occur any time of the year, although less during the warmer months. The most likely time for snow is in January and February, after which danger decreases as it often melts. Climbing trips will encounter snow, and all expeditions above 4000 meters will experience considerable snowfall-making sunglasses, gaiters and crampons essential gear.
Yes, you can drop off your extra luggage at the hotel before you check out from the hotel and then pick it up later while leaving Nepal. You can ask for help at the hotel reception. They typically ask for your ID and provide you with a luggage tag. Ensure your bags are securely closed, and you have removed any valuable items.
Optional: deposit your luggage at our office store and collect it later. Again, your guide can help with it.
