Make sure you are using authorized agency
There are several groups or individuals, who have placed websites on Internet and offer very cheap prices to attract for various trips.

They are not only illegal tour operators, but also not registered to the authorities, and responsible to no one. Before going with them, you must know some facts. If you need a helicopter rescue or something happens during your trip - it is possible there might be nobody to help you, or the assistance could be delayed / not operated. In other hand travelling without necessary permits and organizing trip with illegal operators violate the laws of Nepal, which hopefully you don't want.

Make sure you have proper equipments
Trekking in Nepal and mostly on Himalayan region, you will need to be well equipped. List of recommended equipments will be provided on request. You should remember that most of the trekking equipments are available for hiring in Kathmandu (at very good rates). Other equipments of major logistic support such as tents, camping and kitchen utensils will be provided by our side.

Permits
While permission is not required to trek to most areas, trekking permit is required for restricted areas. To get a group trekking permit an application form should be submitted through any registered trekking agency of Nepal. Some restricted areas are open only for group trekkers and trekking permit to these areas will not be issued to individual trekkers. For detail information, send email to us - info@nepalmakalu.com.
