Just Landed in Nepal? Here’s How Everyone Can Prepare for Their Trek — Couples, Solo Travelers, Families & Seniors
Nepal is one of the best places in the world for trekking. The mountains here call travelers from all over — whether you’re a young couple, a solo backpacker, a family with kids, or a senior adventurer.
But good preparation is key for everyone. If you plan well, you will enjoy your journey more, feel safer, and make beautiful memories in the Himalayas.
In this guide, Global Nepal Treks shares what to do after you land in Nepal. We’ll help you plan step by step, no matter who you are traveling with.
🌏 Why Trek in Nepal?
Nepal has something for everyone:
✅ The famous Everest Base Camp Trek — stand at the foot of the world’s highest mountain.
✅ The classic Annapurna Circuit — see snow peaks, forests, and villages in one trek.
✅ The peaceful Langtang Valley — great for short, beautiful hikes close to Kathmandu.
✅ The unique Upper Mustang Trek — explore old caves, dry valleys, and Tibetan culture.
✅ The easy Poon Hill Trek — perfect for families or seniors who want short but amazing views.
✅ The adventure Manaslu Circuit Trek — for trekkers who want off-the-beaten-path beauty.
No matter which trek you choose, these tips will help you prepare the right way.
✈️ First Things First — Arrival in Nepal
Step 1: Rest well when you land. Kathmandu’s airport is busy and sometimes tiring. Drink water, eat light, and sleep well.
Step 2: Take a day or two in Kathmandu. Visit Thamel, buy or rent any gear you missed, meet your guide, and adjust to the altitude.
🧭 Trekking Gear Checklist
No matter your age or group, you need basic gear:
Warm jacket & layers
Hiking boots (break them in at home!)
Gloves, hat, sunglasses
Sleeping bag for cold nights
Backpack with rain cover
Trekking poles (great for seniors too)
Water bottles or a hydration pack
Small first-aid kit
Snacks & energy bars
You can buy or rent these in Kathmandu if needed.
👫 1️⃣ How Couples Should Prepare
Trekking as a couple is wonderful — you have support, someone to share special moments with, and double the joy. But here are things couples should plan:
✅ Talk About Pace & Fitness — Not everyone walks at the same speed. Be patient with each other. Practice short hikes at home if possible.
✅ Pack Smart — Share the Load — Couples can share things like shampoo, sunscreen, power banks. This saves weight.
✅ Book Private Rooms — Many teahouses have twin or double rooms. If you want privacy, book early, especially in high season.
✅ Stay Connected — Bring power banks and local SIM cards so you can share your adventure with loved ones back home.
✅ Romantic Stops — Take time for sunset views or warm tea breaks. The Himalayas are made for special moments!
🧍♂️ 2️⃣ How Solo Travelers Should Prepare
Many people trek alone in Nepal. You will never really feel alone because the trails are full of friendly people.
✅ Join a Group or Hire a Guide — Going solo? Consider joining a group or hiring a local guide for safety and fun.
✅ Keep Family Informed — Share your plan and check in when you can.
✅ Stay Flexible — Solo trekkers can easily change plans if needed — more rest days, side hikes, or new friends!
✅ Meet People — Eat in shared dining rooms, talk to locals. Solo trekking is the best way to make global friends.
✅ Safety First — Always tell someone where you are going each day.
👨👩👧👦 3️⃣ How Families with Babies or Kids Should Prepare
Trekking with children can be magical if you plan carefully. Here’s how to make it safe and fun:
✅ Pick Easy Routes — Poon Hill, Ghorepani, or easy parts of Annapurna are family-friendly.
✅ Hire Extra Help — Get a porter to help carry your bags, so parents can focus on the kids.
✅ Bring Baby Gear — If trekking with a baby, bring a good baby carrier, warm baby clothes, and extra snacks.
✅ Pack Toys & Snacks — Kids get bored on long walks. Pack coloring books, small games, or favorite snacks.
✅ Plan Rest Days — Don’t rush. Kids need time to adjust.
✅ Book Comfortable Lodges — Some teahouses have extra blankets and family rooms. Check before you go.
✅ Health First — Carry medicines for fever, stomach upsets, or colds. Stay warm and clean.
👴 4️⃣ How Seniors Should Prepare
Age is no limit — many seniors enjoy trekking in Nepal every year. The key is to plan wisely:
✅ Pick Gentle Routes — Choose shorter treks with more rest days. Poon Hill, parts of Annapurna, or Langtang are good.
✅ Hire a Porter — Lighten your load. This makes the trek easier and safer.
✅ Walk Slow & Steady — Altitude is easier to handle if you don’t rush.
✅ Check Insurance — Make sure you have travel insurance that covers trekking up to the height you plan.
✅ Pack Medicines — Bring enough of your daily medicine and simple first-aid.
✅ Stay Warm — Older bodies feel cold faster. Bring good thermals and a warm hat.
📜 Permits for Treks
For all trekkers:
Everest: TIMS + Sagarmatha National Park Permit
Annapurna: TIMS + ACAP
Langtang: TIMS + Langtang Permit
Mustang: Special permit + ACAP + TIMS
Manaslu: Restricted area permit + MCAP + TIMS
Your guide or agency will handle these, but you must bring passport photos and your original passport.
💡 Other Useful Tips
✅ Money — Bring enough cash in Nepali Rupees. ATMs in mountains are rare.
✅ Wi-Fi & SIM — Buy a local SIM. Wi-Fi is there, but slow and sometimes costly.
✅ Stay Hydrated — Drink clean water. Carry purification tablets or bottles.
✅ Respect Local Culture — Learn simple greetings like Namaste. Be polite, don’t litter, and respect local customs.

But wait — before you rush to the mountains, there are important things to do to prepare for a safe, happy, and memorable trekking adventure.

This detailed guide will help you get ready step by step, choose the best trekking plan for your time, and know what to expect.
Let’s make your Himalayan journey smooth and unforgettable!
📍 Why Trekking in Nepal is Special
Nepal is a small country with big wonders. In one trip, you can see snowy peaks, green hills, deep forests, beautiful villages, Buddhist stupas, Hindu temples, and warm smiles everywhere you go.
Trekking here is not just about mountains — it’s about meeting people, trying local food, sleeping in cozy tea houses, and feeling the peaceful Himalayan spirit.
Here are Nepal’s top trekking regions that people from around the world love:
✅ Everest Region: Home of Everest Base Camp, Sherpa villages, and dramatic views.
✅ Annapurna Region: Famous for the Annapurna Circuit, Poon Hill, and beautiful lakeside Pokhara.
✅ Langtang Valley: Close to Kathmandu, perfect for shorter treks with forest and mountain views.
✅ Upper Mustang: A dry, magical desert valley with caves and ancient Tibetan culture.
✅ Manaslu Circuit: For those who want adventure on a less-crowded trail.
Whether you want to hike for 3 days or 3 weeks, Nepal has a perfect trail for you.
🧳 1️⃣ What To Do First After Landing in Nepal
Before you start trekking, follow these simple but important steps.
✅ Rest and Recover
After a long flight, your body needs time to adjust. Kathmandu sits at about 1,400 meters. This is not very high, but you will feel it if you come from sea level.
Drink lots of water, eat light meals, and sleep well on your first day.
✅ Meet Your Guide
If you book with Global Nepal Treks, we will meet you in Kathmandu for a pre-trek briefing. You’ll meet your guide, discuss your route, check your permits, and ask any questions you have. We want you to feel confident and ready.
✅ Check Your Gear
Visit your hotel or a trusted gear shop in Thamel. Make sure you have:
Warm clothes (layers are key!)
Down jacket
Good trekking boots
Sleeping bag (for cold nights)
Trekking poles
Backpack with rain cover
First aid kit
Headlamp
Water bottles or hydration pack
Sunglasses & sunscreen
If you forgot anything, don’t worry. Kathmandu has many shops where you can buy or rent gear at good prices.
📜 2️⃣ Get Your Permits
Most trekking routes need permits. For example:
Everest Base Camp: TIMS Card + Sagarmatha National Park Permit
Annapurna Region: TIMS Card + Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
Langtang: TIMS Card + Langtang National Park Permit
Mustang: Restricted Area Permit + ACAP + TIMS
Manaslu: Restricted Area Permit + MCAP + TIMS
Tip: Bring a few passport photos and your passport. Your agency will handle the paperwork.
💵 3️⃣ Arrange Money & Phone
There are only a few ATMs in the mountains, so take enough Nepali Rupees with you. In Kathmandu, you can find ATMs and money exchange shops easily.
Buy a local SIM card if you want to stay connected. Wi-Fi is common in cities but can be slow in villages.
👨👩👧👦 4️⃣ Who You Are Matters: Special Tips for Each Group
Everyone is welcome on Nepal’s trails — young couples, solo travelers, families with kids, seniors, and students. But each group has different needs.
Here’s how to prepare for each:

Share gear to save weight (toiletries, charger, sunscreen)

Take photos together — the Himalayas are the perfect backdrop!

Nepal is perfect for research trips and short escapes from work.
