Below are some of the tips that might come quite handy if you are preparing for Annapurna Base Camp Trekking in Nepal.
1. Manage Your Equipment
Various tools and equipment are necessary for trekking. You can consult with your travel and tour company or the travel guide on topic like what you’ll be needing and for what purpose. These items can be purchased or even used in rents in Nepal.
2. Protect and care your feet for wonderful trekking
Make sure to wear the footwear that is quite comfortable and designed for the purpose of Annapurna base camp trekking. Ensure that it is waterproof to take extra care of your feet. Heading for trekking with the uncomfortable footwear can cause blisters on the foot which will make the trekking process difficult.
3. Always bring plenty of water along yourself
I dont want to give a long lecture on benefits of drinking water. As most of the people already know about it. Always bring plenty of drinking water along with yourself while trekking. Keeping yourself hydrated is necessary while trekking but there is this other benefit as well. The higher you trek the expensive the mineral water costs. So, it is better to keep yourself well stocked and save your money.
4. Try to stay away from sun
The higher you go up the higher the chances of sunburn. Keep yourself well protected from the sun by bringing sunscreen lotions, glasses and caps to avoid direct sunlight. Exposing yourself too much on the direct sunlight will drain water from your body.
5. Goodbye Debit and Credit cards, carry hand cash
Trekking route doesn’t have ATM booth so it is better to carry hand cash. Don’t carry too much just carry cash that is quite enough for your trekking.
6. Always carry spare battery protected with proper cover
The higher you trek the less electricity supply lines you’ll bet too charge your cameras. It will be better if you carry as much spare batteries for your phones and cameras. There are tea houses which do provide battery charging facilities but that is expensive.
7. Always hire a porter and a travel guide
It is always better if you hire a porter and travel guide. Porter will carry your heavy equipment and guide will show you the proper way.
8. Always plan for the extra days
Anything can happen. Your trekking schedule might be delayed for various reason like bad weather condition, a team member might get sick, your flight may be delayed. So, always make plans for the extra days and carry items that can last a bit longer than your planned trekking schedule.
Conclusion
The above-mentioned tips are quite handy for the trekkers for not only in Annapurna Base Camp Trekking but also in other trekking activities. If you remember all these things then I assure you’ll have a proper and wonderful Annapurna Base Camp Trekking.
