How can I find out more about one of your treks?
If you would like to find out more about one of our treks, perhaps one that we have detailed on this site or you may have other ideas, then please check our trekking page or Contact Us using our contact form.
How difficult is the trekking?
Trekking is no more than simply walking for pleasure off-the-beaten-track, where you will enjoy extreme wilderness untouched by modern development. Yet it demands a physically fitness. To trek, you have to be neither a mountaineer nor athlete. Anyone with pair of strong legs, a will for adventure to explore the exotic nature will enjoy the thrill of trekking.
We only ask you take the flight of stairs instead of escalator in your office and apartment several months prior to starting trek. Regular bicycling, swimming, jogging, cross-country skiing, aerobic exercise would be greatly beneficial for you. When you climb toward a high pass of 5000m after 3-4 days trekking, you will be a lot happier if you have taken regular exercise before set off. How many hours will I need to walk?
For many of the trekking areas you need to walk at least 3 hours before lunch break and 2 hours after lunch. Sometime you need to walk 8-9 hours per day when you are doing a Tea House trek, for you are fully dependent upon trail side lodges and inns for accommodation and other provisions. In case of a Full Catered Camping Trek it is up to you how far you want to walk each day, you are not governed by particular destination. You have all the provisions carried along by our porters and other trekking crews. How should we fuel ourselves during the trek?
During a Tea House Trek you buy food and sleep in lodges and inns. They offer a menu consisting of a wide range of food items especially in popular trekking areas. On the other hand our trained guide and experience porters have the ideas to keep you fit all round your trekking time.
For the Full Catered Camping Trek we prepare food as per your liking. We arrange everything before you set off for trekking. Our trained trekking cooks will prepare food for you. What about AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness)?
Yes, it is certain that if you rapidly gain height you will feel a sort of sickness in high altitude commonly known as Acute Mountain Sickness. But with good planning and common sense it is easily avoided. AMS occurs as the result of a failure to adapt to higher altitudes. Please refer to our AMS guide in the Info page of our website. |

Tea House Trek
Along the popular trekking routes such Everest, Annapurna and Langtang region, there are lots of trail lodges and inns where we can eat food and stay overnight. We take along with us just the apparel that we need during the trek, plus cameras, medical kits, and other things of a personal nature. A guide and a porter or two will carry them for you. Camping Trek
You're fully catered for camping. All the camping gear including foodstuff, tents, sleeping bags, medical kits and other relevant stuff will be carried along the trek by our porters and packed animals. We pitch the camp on marshland or where is the most suitable and eat the food that our trained cooks prepare. You will be accompanied by a guide, Sherpas, cooks, porters and sometime packed animals. In case of Rescue or Evacuation
Thanks to being one of the active members of Himalayan Rescue Association, getting any help to our clients is rapid.
Mount Meru Treks prides itself on being prepared for any emergency situation. Our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that occur during a trek. But if a serious emergency occurs, then outside help is needed. Every client should have his or her own insurance before coming to Nepal or any of the other countries we trek in. |
