Make sure to drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and smoking, and listen to your body. Make sure you have acclimatized properly and are aware of the symptoms. If you experience any, descending immediately is the best option.

Make sure you have all the necessary equipment and clothing, including appropriate hats, gloves, warm layers, and a good pair of hiking boots.
Weather: The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable and change quickly in a matter of minutes. You need to be prepared for all types of weather conditions, including snow, rain, and wind. But that depends upon the time you are trekking and usually in the high trek seasons weather will be generally clear and mountains visible with no snow or rain.
Respect the culture: Nepal is a beautiful country with a rich culture. It’s essential to respect the local customs and traditions while you’re there. Dress modestly, avoid public displays of affection, and ask permission before taking photos of locals.

Any Experience Required?

Difficulties
Difficulty here is actually synonymous to ‘high altitude’. As this trek involves some seriously high altitude climbing above 5000 meters, one is likely to experience some problem in breathing owing to the deteriorating oxygen level. But as this is something which is anticipated, we do have enough precautionary measures to tackle it.
Our Guides

They are the ones who literally decipher the trekking codes for you so that you could actually connect with the nature, culture and people along the way. We have helpful and dedicated trekking guides, who are fairly literate, multilingual speakers and are very well versed to the culture, life patterns and every single detail pertaining to the Everest region. Thus, in the company of our professional Sherpa guides, your trek becomes not only entertaining, but also equally informative.
