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.

Reviews
Couldn't ask more !!!
Lobuche Peak Climbing with Alpha Adventure is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I stumbled on this company's blog and looked at the schedule, which I liked and decided to book. Puru and I had a nice conversation. When I engaged with the team in Kathmandu, I felt like I was treated like a friend. They took care of everything for me, and everything went as smoothly as butter. The pre-climb preparation was quite beneficial. Even the porters and cooks were pleasant. Every day, I had pleasant lodgings, and the cuisine was better than I imagined, especially at higher altitudes. There won't be any more! And I owe them all a debt of gratitude.
