Some trekking regions provide with lodging and food facilities is tent equipment not really a need. If you want a light travel, you can buy or rent the trekking gears in Kathmandu upon arrival.
Camping Trek
This is a massive arrangement, rather expensive but the only way to enjoy the trekking in real sense. We provide all camping and kitchen equipment. Porters carry your gears and foodstuff. Sherpa's set the camp, cook and serve meals while the Sirdar controls the porters and takes all administration.
Lodge Trekking
In the Annapurna, Langtang and Everest region, basic lodging and food facilities are mostly available. Theguide decides the lodges for overnight stay and meals. In winter and summer lodge treks are better to avoid the inclement weather. In autumn and spring the lodges are overcrowded and it can be difficult to find a place to throw in
Different Grade of Trekking
a) Easy
Easy trekking, by Himalayan standards is generally between 900m and 2,000m. There are always plenty of 'ups & downs' everywhere in the Himalaya and clients need to be regular walkers to get full enjoyment from their experience. It is possible however to design 'easier' three to four day treks with perhaps only three to four hours walking per day on request
b) Moderate
Moderate trekking 900m & 4,000m involving side trips to higher elevations. Some treks included here will, in part, be well away from villages on ill-defined mountain trails. O:P c) Strenuous Treks of a demanding nature, requiring all participants to be very fit and in very good health, often in remote alpine areas and sometimes reaching altitudes in excess of 5,000m while crossing mountain passes.
