VACCINATION FOR NEPAL    

Travelers should consult with their physician or update on vaccination requirements before travel.

For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you to take vaccination of Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, etc. However, it is not mandatory but recommended.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS (ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS)

Altitude sickness, also known as AMS (acute mountain sickness), is caused by a lack of oxygen at high altitudes (normally above 3,000m). It occurs as the result of our bodies’ inability to adapt to a sudden increase in altitude. If given time, our bodies will adjust and a gradual ascent will decrease the possibility of altitude sickness. 

PREVENTION OF AMS: Go slowly, drink a lot of water, and pay attention to the sensations of your body. If symptoms occur you have climbed too far for the day. Rest at the same altitude will give you time to acclimatize and usually relieve mild symptoms. 

MILD SYMPTOMS: Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and mild shortness of breath with minimal exertion, difficulty sleeping, dizziness or lightheadedness, mild weakness, fatigue, a general unwell feeling. 

SERIOUS SYMPTOMS: The inability to recover from shortness of breath with rest, severe persistent headache, low urine output, vomiting, confusion, delirium, loss of coordination. These require immediate descent as acclimatization will not take place at the same altitude. 

The key is to trek slowly, carry a light pack and just take it easy. Allow your body the time it needs to acclimatize.

ARRIVAL INSTRUCTION

Lovely & Amazing !!

This extremely great and stunning scenery made me fall in love, and my emotion was cool. I really like this place and would recommend it to others. I hope to return soon.

Trek to Ama Yangri was Amazing !!

Took a short trek to Helambu Ama Yangri Peak with AAT. Absolutely loved the service and enjoyed the view of Mt Everest and the Many Highest Peaks.

Had a great Time in Mohare Dada

I including the other 4 friends went on a trek to Mohare Dada while returning from Annapurna Base Camp and it was amazing. Loved the service provided by AAT.

Short Trek to Ghandruk !!

We recently returned from a vacation to Nepal, where we participated in a five-day Ghandruk trek with Alpha Adventure Treks. They contributed to the success of our trip by offering a secure and trustworthy platform via which we could connect with a fantastic team, make secure payments, and communicate efficiently before, during, and after the trip. We had a great day seeing the cultural Gurung villages and taking in the breathtaking views of Annapurna. AAT and their staff come highly recommended by us for anyone planning a trip to Nepal.

Short and Sweet !!!

It's a fantastic spot to visit. There is a new trekking route that is quite interesting. Because it is new and undeveloped, it has one of the densest forests, calm settlements, and a peaceful and less crowded journey all the way to Mardi Himal Base Camp. The views from the High Camp summit of villages like Ghandruk and Chhomrong, Machhapuchre, Huinchuli, and Annapurna South are breathtaking. The trek is a little more difficult than ABC, with a tiny and dangerous trail route. The peaks are really steep. It is, however, well worth the effort. This is a must trek Destination.

Amazing Poon Hill Trek !!

We went on the Poonhill trek as a group. With Alpha Adventure Treks, we experienced the most incredible trek. With a variety of grades, scenery, and vegetation, the walk was enjoyable. We stayed at a lovely teahouse. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this agency. Great journey advice from the office and excellent expert guides.

- Archie J. ( )
Loved the beauty of the landscape

This is one among Nepal's most well-known trekking destinations. After arriving in Pokhara, it begins either at Naya Pool or at Phedi. There are only a few sites on the planet that have such a diverse range of natural beauty as the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri region. 

- Roonie H. ( )
Great Experience of Lifetime

I was awestruck by the daybreak, which was so beautiful that I was able to watch nature at her finest. This journey was beyond anything I could have anticipated. The scenery was breathtaking during the journey. The mountain's eye-catching laps when the sun shone down on it were huge. I could witness the best of nature's handiwork. My companions and I were also fortunate to have Alpha Adventure Treks as our tour organization. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. This location will live on in my mind for the rest of my life.
