Guides & Porters on Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
It is completely up to you to hire guides and porters. But it surely is highly recommended that you do so. Not only will the guide help you in the trek by leading you to your destination, but he will also be your Nepali companion for the trek. He will help with dealings to be made in lodges, communicate in Nepalese in the villages and other necessities during the trek. The number of guides and porters varies depending on the number of guests and the amount of luggage. This may not be fixed precisely in advance due to unpredictable conditions in the mountains.

Group Size & Crew Member on Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
Your group size can vary according to your preference. However, you have to note that the larger the group, the more porters and guides are required for the smooth operation of the trek. If you are going on camping treks, you will be needing crew members skilled in navigating along with guides, porters, and cooks. Other than this, the normal teahouse treks warrant reasonable guides, assistant guides, and ample porters. There will not be other difficulties, as the routes are already well established and can accommodate even larger groups. Apart from this, you may travel alone if you wish but that depends upon the agreement that you are responsible for your own safety.

Electricity/Recharge & Internet on Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
Wi-Fi is now widely available in most of the teahouses and lodges in the trekking area, albeit the speeds are lower, but as you trek to higher altitudes, the speed may be far slower than what you may be used to. The connection may also be disrupted by weather conditions. The lodges generally sell WiFi cards for NRs. 350 or NRs. 500. As you climb further in altitude, the standard lodges there are very cheap, and one of the factors is they don’t provide electricity for luxuries like charging your electronics. You need to pay hourly up to 2-4 USD for that; it is advised to take a fully charged power bank so you have something to rely on when you climb higher.

Atm and Money Exchange Facilities During The Nar Phu Valley Trekking.

Nar Phu Valley Trekking: 18 nights and 19 days.

Medical Facility on Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
We recommend that you bring some medications that you would normally use for a headache, flu, stomach problems, and other common sicknesses along with you. In addition to this, your trekking guide will also most likely be traveling with a first aid kit. Most guides are also well versed in first aid procedures and basic medical and life aid, which they have garnered through training and experience. There are small medical stations around the villages, which can help with primary treatment. The prominent hospitals are down in Pokhara, which you can get to through helicopter rescues if things go very uncharacteristically awry.

Altitude Sickness on Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
Altitude sickness can happen to anyone. At high altitudes, you have to maintain a slow and steady pace, giving your body the least amount of work to do. Once you ascend to an altitude of 3000 meters, you have to take a step further in being careful. The worst part here is that altitude sickness cannot be cured or removed in an instant. It can lead to other problems such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)! As soon as you see the symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, headache, nausea, etc.) of it, it is best to descend right away. Medications such as Diamox can help you to minimize the effects of the altitude sickness. It is better to stay hydrated, get adequate rest, and acclimatize to the location to avoid this sickness.

Insurance & Rescue on The Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
When you are traveling at altitudes like that of the Nar Phu Valley Trekking, you can face unexpected circumstances at any time during the journey. You must get yourself a good insurance policy that covers such situations. Many travel insurance companies do not have policies that cover high-altitude traveling. Be sure to check your insurance policy. If you get injured or if you need immediate evacuation, you will require a rescue team to come for you. In dire cases, one might require a helicopter rescue or might have to be carried back by a yak or horse. Rescue services such as hiring a helicopter can be really expensive. It is best to have insurance to cover all of these charges. You can find insurance providers who also cover your insurance at high altitudes.

Acclimatization on The Nar Phu Valley Trekking.
Acclimatization is a vital aspect of any high-altitude travel. It is a process by which your body develops an increase in the number of red blood cells, which increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This lowers your risk of getting altitude sickness. Acclimatization may require several hours up to a day or two. Your body needs time to adjust to the new climate and thus function accordingly. It is recommended that you spend a night or more at every checkpoint you reach so that your body can acclimatize to the climate. You can get enough rest and also enjoy the surroundings while you're at it.
