                Frequently Asked Questions

                • Q1. What type of accommodation is available during the trek?

                  You will stay in a standard room in a five-star hotel in Kathmandu. On the hiking trails, you will stay at the tea house, hotel or lodge. The tea house, hotel, or lodge will have all the basic amenities like a bed, pillow, and blanket. It is wise to carry a sleeping bag for extra warmth on a cold night at a high altitude.

                • Yes, the number of trekking days is flexible and we can adjust the days according to your time and priority. For better relaxation, it is best to trek for several days more for acclimatization.

                • For every trek in Nepal, Nepal Trek Adventure suggests you take a guide and a porter for your safety. Many female hikers and solo hikers fear that there is more risk for them, and they will hide their dream. But there is really no risk for any hiking. You will be safe in the hands of the NTA team. Our company can guarantee that single female trekkers are safe to trek alone with our guide and porter. If necessary, we will provide experienced women guides for women's hiking.

                • Yes, you can try DIngboche village trek without a guide. But you should not take a guide for good weather and easy conditions: a guide is to keep you strong and safe in foreign lands when the situation is bad.

                • The highest point of this trek is 5545 meters (Kala Patthar- the highest viewpoint).
