It, sometimes, may bring you in a problematic situation that you can't get money from ATMs. To find yourself free from this problem, you can call your card provider before you travel to Nepal and inform there that you are traveling to Nepal.

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

Upon your arrival at TIA International Airport, our company's representatives are stationed to pick you up. They will be holding your name sign along with the company's name in it. Our office representative will escort you to your hotel in Kathmandu.

Everest Base Camp with Alpha Adventure Treks

Alpha Adventure Treks took me to Everest Base Camp; we were a group of seven, and the trip was a complete success. They provided us with an unforgettable experience and attended to all of our needs. Our safety was their top focus, and they made sure we were always at ease.
I would use Alpha Adventure Excursions for future treks without hesitation.

Everest Base Camp trek by Road

We had to take the road to get to the Everest Base Camp as the flight was canceled due to bad Weather. We were so sad but the reality was the opposite, the route was long and rough with beautiful settlements and landscapes. It took us 3 days to reach Lukla and join the other trekkers who had flown from Kathmandu.

Best Trekking Site for the Novice

I had no Peak climbing experience, Talked with the guys from AAT and they arranged the best package. One of the best experiences I had in a long long time.

Trekking to Gokyo Lake and Renjo La Pass is one of Nepal's top treks.

I recently completed a trekking trip in Nepal with Alpha Adventure Treks.
I visited the Everest region (Gokyo Lake and Renjo La Pass); they have a great guide and a great porter; I enjoy their employees (they are extremely friendly and smiling during the trip); their service is excellent, and the guide provides us with a wealth of information about Nepal and the surrounding area. Personally, I'm overjoyed that I chose this trekking company for my Nepal vacation.

EBC trek: Up, Up, and Away

From Lukla to Everest Base Camp and back, I enjoyed the most incredible 8-day hike. The use of a guide was extremely educational and beneficial. I also hired a porter because the return trip is almost 100 kilometers at altitude, which is exhausting even if you are in good shape. Hiking in the Himalayas is both beautiful and fulfilling, and I would strongly advise it to anyone, regardless of age or physical ability. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat and can't wait to return.

- Kelly J. ( )
Excellent guide, landscape, and whole experience.

Our guided private trek was excellent. His English is great, and he is both friendly and humorous. We are both slow walkers, and he was extremely patient with us. We see him as a buddy after 12 days together. The journey is fantastic: the walking is strenuous, but you can order food from a vast menu and sleep in a luxurious bed every evening. This is a trek that I would strongly suggest to everyone.

- Vincent R. ( )
Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

I've just returned from a terrific helicopter tour to Everest base camp. It was a fantastic adventure. Because a private excursion was out of my budget, I scheduled a group joining helicopter tour. I appreciated the companionship of the other flying passengers. While waiting for the aircraft, we had a great time chatting and sharing a delicious breakfast at Hotel Everest View.

- Norman J. ( )
A most memorable adventure in Nepal

Joey, our Kathmandu contact, was wonderful from our home in Australia!
He was always willing to assist us with our (many) queries throughout the road. We couldn't be happier with everything that was provided, from the accommodations and schedule to connecting us with a city tour and our incredible trekking guide.

- Tim A. ( )
Recommended EBC Trek

In April of this year, I traveled to EBC with a buddy, and we used Alpha Adventure as our travel agent and guide. They were extremely attentive to our requirements and were able to accommodate our last-minute alterations and demands. I had a fantastic time on the trip, and I want to express my gratitude to our guide for accommodating all of our requests. Excellent service!

- Abas Ali ( )
Best Trekking Experience!!

The hike to Pikey Peak went off without a hitch. The company's organization, the hotel's location, and the rise schedule. Our guide, was fantastic, really responsible, and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation, Alpha Adventure treks, Mr. Puru, and his staff.

- Ricardo J. ( )
Amazing Once In A Lifetime Experience

We just returned from the Everest Panorama Trek with Alpha Adventure Team, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From the minute we landed in Kathmandu until we were transported back to the airport, Puru coordinated the entire trip for us, and we were thoroughly taken care of and treated like royalty. The entire vacation went off without a hitch, and we can't think of anything that could have been done better.

- Jenny H. ( )
24 days EBC trek with Alpha Adventure Treks

Late April 2019, I went on a 24-day trip with Alpha Adventure to Everest Base Camp via Gokyori and Chola Pass. It was one of the most well-organized treks I've ever experienced. There were no internal planes available from Kathmandu, therefore a last-minute arrangement was devised. Because I was the only one in the group, the guides went out of their way to make me feel at ease. I always had a room to myself because there was no one else in the group of the same gender to share one with. It was a fantastic trip, and even though it has been over a month since I returned, the memories still bring a smile to my face.

- John Davis ( )
journey of a life time

Went there with my freinds, Alpha Adventure Team was quick enoough to make all the arrangements on short notice. will definately recomend them and thank you.
