Advice on how to be prepared
Brendan Phelan, from our supplier Exodus shares his Nepal travel advice on surviving power cuts: “Power cuts are a regular thing in Nepal and occur daily for up to 14 hours. Some of the bigger hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara have generator back up, but that’s not the case in homestays along the trekking routes where only candles are provided. Pack extra flashlights and spare batteries for any electronic equipment, but always remember to keep dead batteries with you and dispose of them back at home where they’ll be disposed of properly.”Tips for Adventurers
Packing tips
Brendan Phelan, from our supplier Exodus shares his Nepal travel advice on what to pack:“Most trekking clothes and equipment are available to buy in Nepal, but beware of poor quality fakes. It is always better to pack light wherever possible though and it’s advisable to buy sleeping bags and simple clothing in Nepal, which you can then give away at the end of your trip. If you’re not trekking, Nepal is warmer than most people expect, so you won’t need much heavy clothing during the day.”
Transport advice
Richard Goodey, from our supplier Lost Earth Adventures on how to travel safely in Nepal:“In terms of travelling in Nepal, a lot of the danger lies with the driver of the bus driving unsafely – there’s no such thing as speed limits and they will overtake on blind bends. We only use private transport on all of our trips; we don’t use any public transport and all of our drivers are trained to drive to a safe standard. There are also lots of mopeds on the roads carrying families, none of which will be wearing a crash helmet, so if you plan to hire a car, do so from a reputable company and only drive during the day. Be aware that pedestrians account for 40 percent of road fatalities because pavements, especially in rural areas, are practically non-existent and pedestrians do not have priority. This is a place where travel is definitely not for the faint hearted; keep your wits about you and stick to organised, private transport if you’re ever in doubt.”

Nepal travel advice
We have selected some of the most useful Nepal travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday - and the space inside your suitcase.


“It made me feel very uncomfortable watching a very small man in a pair of cheap trainers struggle up the hill carrying all our gear and it will make you feel worse if you have brought huge amounts of gear, so leave what you don’t need at home.“ - Tessa Lash
“We went to Nepal in the off-peak winter season. Although mountain views are not always clear this time of year, it was compensated by the lack of other tourists - for 3 days on our trek we were the only white people and the places we stayed were never full or crowded.“ - Lotte Risbridger
“Trekking means different things to different people. When someone thinks they can do a trek, they should understand what they are getting themselves into in Nepal - these are big mountains we’re talking about!“ - David Whetham


“Take the opportunity to buy antibiotics cheaply and without prescription in Kathmandu as an insurance policy against stomach bugs, but look for a reputable pharmacy.“ - Colin Cheshire
“No need to bring US dollars as you can exchange your own currency to local Nepalese rupees easily in Kathmandu and Pokhara.“ - Neil Whittemore
“Be relaxed and open minded to new people and the different culture in Nepal and you will have the experience of a lifetime.“ - Murray Hendriksen
“Diamox can be useful in treating altitude sickness, but it can also have really unpleasant side effects (not unlike altitude sickness), so don't rely on it being the solution.“ - Jo Homewood
“For visits to Chitwan, wearing colours that blend into nature work better and tipping is customary so bring a little extra cash for tips.“ - Simone Bothwell
