Choosing whether you need a guide or porter or not depends on the types of destination and trail you are picking.

For example, if you are trying to visit Lo-Manthang, you are not allowed to enter unless you are accompanied by a guide. If you are a first-time traveler, you are recommended to have a guide. Trekking with a guide offers many benefits. A guide has local knowledge and (usually) will have been familiar with trekking and navigating on the trails, arranging logistics on the trek, and, in the case of an emergency, provide help and assistance. A porter carries your big, heavy backpack, which will help you to enjoy and experience the trek more efficiently and effectively.

Whether you need trekking experience in Nepal depends on the difficulty of the trek.

The trekking trails are generally well-marked, the pace is moderate, and other than being fit enough to handle 5–7 hours of walking a day on some ups and downs you can be a beginner and still be safe and find enjoyment. However, for the more difficult trekking in Nepal the Everest Base Camp trek, example it is beneficial to have some hiking or trekking experience. When you hike more, you will go longer distances, climb more elevation typically over 4000 meters and it will all generally be up. It is necessary to be not physically prepared only but also mentally. It is safe to say that experience is not necessarily a must-have but it could provide a greater level of comfort and satisfaction especially on longer and more remote treks.

Trekking in Nepal is most preferable during September to November and during spring probably March and May months. During these seasons the skies are blue, weather is clear and you are presented with stunning scenes of Rhododendron and Himalaya. You may also face some light rainfall. 

Most popular trekking routes in Nepal have internet and mobile signal. Some areas, especially the Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, and Langtang Valley have many villages in the area that have mobile network service from Nepal Telecom (NTC) and Ncell. In remote trekking areas, NTC generally has better network as it is the government. You can easily purchase a local SIM card with a data plan in Kathmandu and Pokhara before you start your journey. Additionally, many teahouses and lodges offer their own Wi-Fi, but its speed and reliability may vary widely and in the higher areas may even require an additional fee for access. In the Everest Region they offer paid, (and better) Wi-Fi service called Everest Link, which you can access using a prepaid card. On more remote or restricted treks, like the Upper Mustang, Manaslu or Dolpo, mobile signals and internet service can be greatly limited or not available at several sections. In such remote areas your trekking guide may carry a satellite phone or radio for emergency communication. When travelling in the Himalayas its best to use several measures to stay connected, like a power bank, downloading offline maps, and having a flexible mindset about connectivity, especially the higher you trek.

To prevent altitude sickness in Nepal, you should gradually start your journey, letting your body adjust and continue with the acclimatization. It is very important to drink plenty of water while trekking. Try to consume at least 3 to 4 liters of water each day, which is why water bottles or hydration bladders are key. Trekkers should avoid the consumption of alcohol, which will dehydrate them. Getting enough sleep will help your body adjust to the altitude of the place. Some trekkers seem to take acetazolamide to cope with altitude sickness, but you are recommended to take it only under the prescription of a doctor or your trained guide. You should be actively responding to the symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, weakness of the body, nose bleeding, etc. If at any point any of these symptoms worsen, stop ascending and go to a low altitude immediately. You can reduce your risk of altitude sickness by walking gradually and steadily, avoiding overexertion. If you’re trekking to a high altitude for the first time, you’re recommended to hire a guide. Only a guide can guess whether you might be at risk of altitude sickness. Guides are trained to recognize altitude sickness symptoms and will be responsible for your trek.
