Route Map

Baggage Handlers & Concerns:

Your luggage is vulnerable entering and leaving this airport. Do not keep anything of value in checked bags, and if you lock the bag, the zipper may be forced open and broken. There is little to no security for your bags. You should also be aware that most luggage is treated quite poorly in Nepalese airports. It is recommended that all fragile and valuable items be kept in your carry on luggage.

Be aware that when you collect your luggage, an "airport baggage cart collector" may appear and assist you with a baggage trolley. Unless you insist on handling your own baggage, your items will be loaded on the trolley and will be conveyed with you to the entrance of the terminal. You will then be expected to pay a tip to this person. Arriving just beforehand in Nepal, you will often only have larger denomination foreign currency in your pocket, making the issue of a tip a bit of a problem. It's fine to pay the tip in foreign currency but make sure you have some small bills or coins on hand (even a dollar or two will be significant to Nepalis). Everest Gokyo Chola Pass Trek time, You can storage Storage at your Hotel with proper name write to tag on above and you must keep tag safely. No Need to take all the luggage with you in the mountains. Which is very heavy load as well as you have to pay extra luggage so that better to keep in Kathmandu.

Exchange Money 

Should I Exchange Money at the Airport before going to Everest Gokyo Chola Pass Trek

Try not to exchange money at the airport as there are service charges and lower rates offered than what you can get in Thamel or elsewhere in the city. If you Exchange your Money with us, you can definitely get better rates than Money Exchange so before going to your trip ask , our responsible person of the Company. If you keep the exchange receipt, you could change back to your original currency at the rate on the receipt. You better exchange enough Money with your tour Operator to get better rates as well as avoid the notes (Bills) of duplicates in the market so you will be safe in this case before going to Everest Gokyo Chola Pass Trek

Getting to and from the Airport:

There are no trains in Kathmandu and renting a car without a driver is not possible. Pre-Arranged Hotel Transfers are available from most hotels and are included in most trekking / touring packages. Our Representatives will be standing outside the arrivals doors behind a barricade and will hold a sign identifying  our self. This form of transport is particularly helpful if you are a novice to Nepal, arriving late at night and unfamiliar with how things work in the country.

Trekking Team:

Being homeland of Himalayas, it’s obvious to have challenging routes, High altitude problems, Weather and other conditions; any of those situations is big enough to ruin your trip. Leading around the steeply hills and rocky routes is not a job of common climbers and trekkers. Himalayan Magic Treks have been providing native leaders and staffs working in this field perfectly since long years to overcome tough challenges and make your trip a golden memory. They are trained and well certified by the Government of Nepal. All of our staffs have received emergency guidance in Himalaya’s and have knowledge of first Aid for our guest.

Equipment does matter to make your trip comfortable and better so you must be serious about check list before going to trek. We advice to take general equipment for the trek click here on link about equipment lists

We believe equipment does matter to make your trip easy and comfortable. Caring excessive quantity of equipment doesn’t make your adventure more interesting but the drawback. So, we request you to carry only selected and needed one and save your extra expenses for other need in trek though we have our potential porters.

We also focus on acclimatization days to get rid of altitude sickness. We will take care of you on arrival to till on in your final departure date (airport drop services)

Best Season to Trek in Nepal:

Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best season for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate in these seasons which offer beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring grants you beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals. Walking is favorable during these seasons. Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February).
Though summer has heavy monsoon rainfall, it is very much clearer to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar Phu Valley Trek since they are rain shadow areas. Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, as well as Pikey Peak Trek are always better to trek in winter season.

Experience & Fitness:

Trekking can be challenging and exhausting. So you might need some fitness training and experience for some tough trial. Nepal Trekking in Everest Base Camp does not require past experience or extreme fitness even though we have more challenging routes in different region compared to that of Everest. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes. You could ask for proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain your strength. Mountains can never be achieved in a day. We always provide the detail in our itinerary. However certain training like running, skipping and other workouts will definitely be beneficial in such challenging routes.

Acclimatization:

Altitude sickness is a major risk when trekking. You might experience it on any trails above 2,500 m however; good health, proper care and drinking plenty of water will definitely help you to prevent from altitude sickness. Every trekkers needs to be familiar with the heights and altitude so, for this we have life saving appropriate acclimatization days during the trek, We also provide certain medical support for your relief and emergency rescue through helicopter whenever the situation gets worse.

Eco Friendly:

Our only goal in the Himalayas is to leave the memories and foot prints; Himalayan Magic Treks is concerned on environment pollution issue and global warming. We are always serious and genuine about our garbage during the trek especially during camping. We collect the rubbish and dump it to the proper place to protect our environment and also appeal our clients to do the same. We partake in every program conducted in KEEP (Kathmandu Environmental Education Project) and other environmental conservation programs. We want to promote Safe environment act and stand against pollution & global warming.

Tailor-made Itinerary:

Sometimes trekking in the Himalayan region passes through unexpected complication like natural calamity, health challenges and many other problems that might result to the changes of the itinerary so, we kindly request you to cooperate with your guide and the team in such situation.

Helping Hands:

Profit oriented is not only our priority! We have been helping some of ours every villager from different corners of Nepal to sustain their social life and help them with education and required materials. We are always looking forward for interested candidates in this field to give helping hand to support and inspire them for their better beginning and good future. If you are interested please contact us:nabinkarki04@gmail.com they really need us, Support us to be their Helping Hand.

If I travel to Nepal again, I will definitely trek with Nabin again!

My friend and I travelled to Nepal over Christmas to trek the 17 day Everest Base Camp + Cho La Pass + Gokyo Lake route with Himalayan Magic. Everything was spot on, from the organisation pre-departure, collection at airport (despite flight delays!) and our stay in Kathmandu. Nabin accompanied us around the city to hire kit we needed, and we met our guide, Sitaram, at the hotel the day before we left for the mountains. The trek was brilliant, our guide and porter were excellent - with great knowledge of the mountains and route, accommodation and this enabled the flexibility to allow our trek to suit us. I can't recommend highly enough Nabin, his company and employees. Having seen the effects of altitude sickness on trekkers, it is so important to have a guide and company you can rely on to support you if you get sick, and I completely trusted the organisation and efficiency shown by Himalayan Magic. If I travel to Nepal again, I will definitely trek with Nabin again!

Unforgettable EBC-Gokyo Trek

As a celebration for my 40th birthday, we (me, my wife and four other friends) decided to venture through the EBC-Gokyo trek last November. It was a memorable journey and we couldn't thank Nabin, Krishna, Phuri, Kumar and everybody else at Himalayan Magic Treks enough. Nabin made all the arrangements seem easy from Kathmandu, there was not a single request we made it was not possible to adjust. Krishna was a very reliable and knowledgeable leader at the mountain and back at the lodges always dedicated to provide us with the best possible comfort. Phuri and Kumar were also fantastic, very helpful, responsible, they really took care of all of us. Besides all this, and as important as, they were very, very good friends. I miss you guys, and miss our daily trekking routine, I miss Nepal. Thanks you so much

I felt enjoy every moment when I trekked, It was not only the incredible view that I got via my eyes but it was because I had the lovely team along my trip. They were not only guide and porter, at the same they were our friends and family.

Finally, I could not judge Himalayan Magic Treks is the best agency and also I could not write all my incredible feeling through the words but this agency is the number # 1 in my mind when I think about trekking.
