Q. When do I visit Nepal?
Ans - Nepal is governed by the Southerly Monsoon weather system which brings heavy precipitation between the months of June and September, i.e. it rains a lot. Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) are the best time to visit Nepal.

Q. Can I do a Jomsom Muktinath Trek in Nepal?
Ans - Previous trekking and mountaineering experience is not necessary to do a trekking in Nepal. If you are reasonably fit and enjoy walking, you can do any trek in Nepal. Normally the shorter treks tend to be easier whilst the longer ones often require a better standard of fitness.

Q. Where do I stay and sleep during the trekking?
Ans - You stay either in a guesthouse or a tent during the trekking. The most popular trekking areas like Annapurna, Everest and Langtang provide best sleeping accommodation. If you go to the restricted areas like Dolpo, Upper Mustang, Manaslu etc., you stay and sleep in a tent during the trekking.

Q. Are the foods and water safe to eat and drink during the trekking?
Ans - Yes, the foods are eatable and water is safe to drink during the trekking. All meals are prepared to high standards, fruits and vegetables are soaked in iodine before preparation. Most lodges serve boiled and filtered water, which is generally safe to drink, we suggest to put a drop of iodine to be totally sure.

Q. What is Altitude Sickness?
Ans - Altitude Sickness is also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (A.M.S.). It may occur when people ascend too quickly. The symptoms of AMS may be seen in our body after crossing 2800m. Headache, shortness of breath and possibly light-headedness are fairly common. Acute mountain sickness is very different and normally involves a severe headache, sickness and loss of awareness. Descending to a lower altitude will generally be enough to prevent any further problems. HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and HACE (High Altitude Cardio Edema) are the major symptoms of altitude sickness.
