HOW TO PLAN
Simple - Just decide when and where you would like to go – Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim etc and email us @ info@sacredsummits.sg. We will then come back to you with a custom made proposal.

INFORMATION
The idea of this handout / information is to furnish you with information for your pre-trek preparations. Firstly, we recommend that you travel light.

BAGGAGE
A good sized duffel bag with a top length zipper that can lock is best, together with a day pack for carrying personal items on the trek. An extra smaller bag would be handy to carry back your souvenirs after the trip.

COSTS
We, at Sacred Summits believe that there is a holiday or an adventure that can be organized for all classes of clients depending on their preferences. Another important motto of Sacred Summits is that we believe in not compromising our quality of services for anything. Being a locally based company we are able to provide the very best of personalized services at affordable prices.

Special trips at very discounted price will be offered if students are trekking or rafting in Nepal. (Conditions apply for this case)

WHAT TO WEAR:
Light clothing for short treks up to a week going up to altitudes up to 6000ft (1830m) during fall (autumn) from September to November and in spring between March to May. Then it gets colder. The other months at all altitudes will be cold and at most times the temperatures will be below zero degree Celsius.

MEN:
Shorts, cotton trousers, jeans, sweat pants (recommended) etc.

LADIES:
Shorts (not too short!), long skirts are acceptable in well trekked areas, jeans or trousers if preferred. Sweat pants are recommended.

WARM CLOTHES:
A light sweater, a windcheater or light lined/padded jacket and down jacket or parka for above 7000 ft. treks. Woolen thick cap and few pairs of warm gloves.

FOOTWEAR:
You will need hiking boots with ankle support, sneakers for flat trails and flip-flops or sandals for use around the camp or tea house.

UNDERGARMENTS & SOCKS:
Thermal underwear and inner trouser for the above 7,000 ft. treks. Thick trek socks are useful.

SUN / RAIN:
Rain gear or umbrella and a sun hat is essential. Global warming has led to freak weather conditions and it has difficult to predict weather conditions. Note: Umbrellas are cheap and easily available in Kathmandu.

EQUIPMENT & PORTERS:
Porters are the backbone of trekking and expedition in Nepal. Without them no trek or expedition would be successful. Sacred Summits (P) Ltd. ensures that all the porters, guides and Sherpa's during all treks and expeditions are insured. During the trips to the Himalayas we make sure that our porters are strong and reliable so that we have a very good support team. In our high altitude treks, porters are provided with stove and kerosene, so that they can cook their own food. During expeditions porters are provided with all the equipments like warm jackets and trousers, shoes, socks and gloves.
