If you're planning to go trekking to the scenic hikes near Taleju Boutique Hotel which is one of the best hotels in Thamel, Kathmandu, below are some important tips that you should know to make your adventure more safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
Hiking paths can be quite difficult to walk on as the paths are mostly, rough, at the top, and uneven. So make sure to wear well-made strong, comfortable shoes that have a good grip to prevent you from slipping and to keep your feet protected from the rough paths.
The weather in Kathmandu can change quickly. So we recommend that you wear lightweight, breathable, comfortable clothes and also carry an extra light jacket in case it gets cold or windy.
Hiking is a process that’s quite tiring and difficult to do, so staying hydrated is very important. So be sure to carry at least 1-2 liters of water, especially if you're going on a longer hike.
Make sure to pack some snacks to eat like a small energy bar, fruits, or nuts etc, this helps you keep up your energy levels during the hike.
We recommend starting your hiking in the morning because the weather in the morning is cooler, and you’ll have plenty of daylight to enjoy the views properly without worrying about time.
Make sure to bring along a map and use gps as some paths might not have clear signs. So carrying a map around, or downloading an offline map, or using Google Maps helps you stay on track.
You will also need to protect your skin from UV rays as even if it’s cloudy, UV rays can be quite strong in the mountains especially at the tops. So make sure you put on some sunscreen, take your sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from sunburn.
This is not a tip or anything but just a little suggestion that we hope you will follow which is that if possible try not to throw waste around, pick plants, or disturb the wildlife living there.
Some hikes take you to higher elevations. Walk at a steady pace, take breaks, and drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness.
