How to prepare ?
What you should pack for the trip: Warm jacket ,Pull over,Trek suite, Raincoat, trekking shoes, Sneakers for river crossing, Camp shoes, Gloves, Minimum 2 pairs of warm socks + normal socks, Gaiters (to avoid the snow to enter in shoes) Sunglasses / Spare glasses or contact lenses, Sun hat, Shirts- Loose trousers, Washing kit, toilet kit, A small sewing kit, Safety pins, torch or flash light with spare batteries, Camera with spare films and batteries, day sac, water bottle, If it is early and late season required the pair of gaitters to walk on the soft snow over the passes (in case of bad weather) and walking sticks if one required.

Clothing and the necessary items: Due to wide range of temperature and climate conditions, it is advisable to bring appropriate clothing. For protection against cold a layered clothing is better than a few thick ones, so choose your cloths accordingly. Cloths should be preferable be made from natural materials which allow the body to breath better. You will be offending people if you walk around in skimpy or tight fitting clothes. Although there are normally opportunities to wear shorts, it is strictly forbidden to be with short in any religious places as monasteries and temples. We would advise women to wear shirts or loose trousers, men should not wear singlet.

Fitness and acclimatization: For all adventure trips at least light physical exercise is required however no exercise is necessary for Jeep Safaris and cultural tours in the mountains. As we gain altitude slowly on most of our treks, safaris and tours, acclimatization occurs naturally and for most people the slow ascent to higher altitudes produces negligible effects.

First aid kit: Preparation of relief of sun burn, Lip salve, Anti septic cream, Antihistamine cream (for relief of insect bites), Anti diarrhea (flagyl or any other), Anti headach (diamox, aspirin, paracitamol, zimalgin), Anti vomiting (avomin), For stomachach (baralgan,trigan or other diagnose) Dettol, washproof dettol plaster, Bandage and cotton, Balm, Anti cramp spray, Pills to purify the water, Scisor and knife are must in the medical kit. According to your physical condition you are requested to consult your doctor to complete your medical kit. Apart from that HIMALAYAN FRONTIER also provides an additional medical kit including oxygen cylinder with each group.

Flexibility required: Adventure is an unpredictable activity due to a variety of reasons. So when on your adventure or culture we would request you to be flexible and accommodating in the event of landslides, road blocks, vehicle breakdown, inclement weather and any other unexpected causes. However we always strive to overcome any kind of obstacles and provide the very best of services to the best of our ability and seek immediate alternatives. So when booking a trek or a tour with Himalayan Frontiers we urge you to possess a spirit of adventure, a lot of patience and the capacity for tolerance.
