We take care of all the expenses of our staff.
On camping treks, our staff will boil and cook meals treated by potassium or iodine. On GAP treks, you will be able to buy safe hot drinks in the tea house. We recommend that you to bring water purification pills. On the trail, water from the streams is safe if away from settlements.
You should be moderately fit, used to some regular exercise and enjoy walking in high altitude conditions. Living up to a physical challenge is always good for you, no matter what. Trekking once a year is always the best regimen for your body's needs; as per recommendations from most health journals throughout the world.
The clothing you bring will need to allow for both the warmth of the days and the chill of the nights. While trekking during the day at lower altitudes, lightweight trekking trousers and T-shirts are recommended. It's always a good idea to carry a waterproof jacket and some warmer clothing with you though as mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable. For the cold nights, thermal underwear, a warm fleece jacket and even a down jacket will help to keep you warm. Good shoes are of great importance. They must be sturdy and comfortable. For higher altitude treks where you may have to tread snow for long hours, good boots are available for rent in Kathmandu. In view of local customs, try not to wear too skimpy or revealing clothes. Your reception by locals can vary greatly on the way you dress.
Yes, you can definitely change the lodge if you feel it is not in order by talking it over with your guide, provided there are other lodges with good rooms in the vicinity.
We accommodate trekking groups in local lodges available on the trail. As it is not possible to book the rooms days in advance, we send a porter few hours ahead of the group each day to book the rooms.
Our airport representative and a vehicle will be waiting you at the arrival gate of the airport; in his hand will be a plaque board holding your name clearly written on the board or paper. You can’t lose us.
Obtaining a Nepalese visa on arrival is easier except that you may have to spend some precious time queuing. If you get your visa in advance, you can avoid the queue. Also, don’t forget to bring cash as ATMs are not available at the airport. Note: If you are staying for more than 15 days, don’t forget to arrange a visa for 30 days.
You can get your money exchange at your hotel or we will exchange your money in better rates so before exchange your money ask once with HMT team
The weight limit for the trek is 15 kg per guest, as it is the maximum weight that the porters can carry. It is also important to note that "hard" luggage poses a problem: soft "duffel-bags" are recommended which we provide. The lighter you are the better for the trails.
You can keep your luggage and valuable items in a locker at the hotel in Kathmandu for free of charge.
Most of the tea houses have electricity facilities during the trekking period. You can charge your electronic devices on the trail.
You will only have to carry a day pack, which should be a reasonable size to carry a water bottle, sunscreen, camera, etc. Your other packs are carried by porters. Again we stress on the wisdom of always ‘travel light’.
You can get hot shower services throughout the trip. However, the higher you climb the less pleasant it will be. It’s better to be on the safe side of thing

Australia, 28th November, 2019Great organization! Amazing Trek and People with Himalayan Magic Treks.
Thanks to Himalayan Magic Treks I could successfully reach the Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar. They took care of me at any time and I enjoyed sharing explanations about the Himalayan mountains with the guide. We visited some local houses where I could tase deepest the way of leaving of the people from the mountains in Nepal.
I could share also a nice dinner with typical Nepali dances in Kathmandu with the team.
I appreciate that even after the trek, they help me in Kathmandu when I was sick.
Dhanyabad Himalayan Magic Treks!

Italy, 26th December, 2022Perfect trip! Awesome way to visit the Everest!
We did the Base Camp and Kala Patthar trip last month and it was just perfect! Absolutely no complaints. The agency and everyone involved did everything they could to make our journey the best one possible. We loved the country and are already planning another visit to Nepal next year. Of course we are going with Himalayan Magic Treks!
