Generally, you should bring layers of clothing for variable weather conditions, a good pair of walking or hiking shoes, a waterproof jacket, sun protection, a first aid kit, and any personal medication. For treks, additional gear like sleeping bags, trekking poles, and a reliable backpack are essential.
Can I go on excursions without a guide in Nepal?
While some excursions can be done independently, hiring a guide is highly recommended, especially for longer treks and in remote areas. Guides provide valuable insights into local culture and natural history, ensure safety and navigation, and can assist in case of emergencies.

Are there any health concerns I should be aware of when planning an excursion in Nepal?
Travelers should be aware of altitude sickness, which can affect anyone at elevations above 2,500 meters. It's important to acclimatize properly and recognize symptoms. Also, consider vaccinations recommended for travel to Nepal and take precautions against waterborne diseases by using purified water.
What is the average cost of excursions in Nepal?
The cost of excursions in Nepal varies widely depending on the type of excursion, duration, transportation, accommodation, guide services, and permits required. Budget travelers can find affordable options, while those seeking luxury may incur significantly higher costs. It's best to research and budget accordingly or consult with local tour operators for detailed pricing.
