Know Before You Go

Important Note

Trekker’s safety is the paramount concern while trekking with Asiana Nepal Trek & Expedition. Every effort will be made to keep to the above itinerary. Everest Three Pass Trekking is located in a remote area in the Khumbu region. Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition can’t guarantee it such as weather conditions, availability of porter and the health of team members can all contribute to change. Guide and Sherpa will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan but please be prepared to be flexible if necessary.

Pre-trip meeting

Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition hosts the pre-trip meeting in Kathmandu on the 2nd, the itinerary day. Trekkers introduce themselves to the trek leader. It will provide an opportunity for individuals to ask questions about Everest Three Pass Trekking. The pre-trip meeting covers personal equipment, acclimatisation and introducing you to another team member. Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition hopes the pre-trip meeting is excellent, informative, and supportive and fun.

Acclimatisation

Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition’s Everest Three pass Trekking itinerary is focused on AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness); going up too fast causes a medical condition severe enough to kill. Higher mountains area has less oxygen in the air. If trekkers want a safe Everest Three Pass Trekking experience, their body needs some days to rest in the less air environment. Especially, travellers who have heart, lungs/blood diseases to consult their doctor before leaving home. Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition’s itinerary is designed to try to prevent AMS as much as possible. It is important to remember that some people are more susceptible than others.

Physical Condition & Experience Requirements

Usually, Everest Three Pass Trekking is a remote mountain in the Khumbu region. It is suitable for physical fit walkers. The traveller must be in good health and physical condition. Most parts of treks are five to six hours of walking, but some days are seven hours. It is a good idea to prepare yourself in the lead-up to your trip with some regular exercise. The best form of which is long walking in the hill area. Technical experience is not required. Hiking experience is advantageous, but the most important thing is a positive attitude and a generous amount of determination. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, you must let Asiana know the details of these before setting up the trip. Also, before coming to Nepal, it's essential to consult your doctor regarding vaccination and any other medical concerns the trip may raise. “Medical and emigration expenses are your responsibility."

Insurance

When travelling with Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition, trekkers must be fully insured, including air rescue, air ambulance, and treatment service. Have an accident? Trekkers should be careful in choosing a policy; however, some make notable exceptions for adventure travel. Please note that Asiana Nepal Treks & Expedition doesn’t arrange any insurance.

Porter Care

Trekking is an adventure. A porter has a hard-working job. They carry trekker's supplies and baggage that makes a journey easy and comfortable into the remote mountains of the Khumbu region. Asiana ensures all the porters are well trained and well paid. Porters who become sick are treated with the same care, and attention as team members and Asiana have previously used helicopters at tour expense to rescue porters from dangerous situations. The porter's sake, Asiana requires all trekkers to keep their bag weight 15 to 20 kg. They support the work of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) and provides help and advice to those organisations to improve the working conditions of the porters on whom they depend.
