Most of the traveler plan their vacation trip to avoid the sudden increase in altitude, taking the proper rest to reduce the danger. The traveler should keep the detail information about the possible danger of the trek like the symptoms of the AMS and shouldn't ignore this symptom and have to face HAPE (High Altitude, Pulmonary Edema or HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema). However many visitors couldn't give the answer about what will you do if the weather and climate of the region turn bad, so always carry guide to rescue from difficulties.
The weather is the biggest risk factor for hikers in the mountains. You are always recommended to check the local forecasts before you set off and get an update from the local people. The Trekking in Nepal peak season is from October to December and March-April which offers the best weather and climate for the trekking. But the natural disaster like storms and rain can occur any time so be sure that you will make a good plan and prepare for the trek.
During the adventure hike in the altitude, when the weather condition turns bad the human need is for shelter. Hypothermia can occur within an hour if you face the rain and cold climate and if your body it not treated in the right time it can lead to death and other serious problems. Due to the environment of the Himalayas, every visitors should be aware of the symptoms of the hypothermia and have to keep some medicine for it.
Dress for the condition.
The Trekking in Nepal dress is very important factors to be safe from the different condition. If the visitor wears the warm clothes during the adventure hike, he can be safe from the bad weather, cold climate like wearing the water and air proof jackets will protect from rainfall and wild wind. Wearing the hat will protect you from the suns storms. Wearing the warm gloves and boot will protect you from Frostbite.
All your required materials for the trekking is very cheaply available in Kathmandu and Pokhara both a new one and a second one. Walking in altitude wearing the T-shirt and Sort will protect you and during the sunset, you can wear all season clothing to be safer.
Seek Shelter
Another life-saving kit from the bad weather is survival bag which includes the Sleeping bags and the lightweight piece of plastic which keeps your body temperature above the critical level if you should spend the night outdoors. The important of the Shelter should never be underrated: with a roof over the head or the tent with warm sleeping bags protect you from the bad weather and climate, temperature. So always carry the required materials during the trek to Mountain region because you can face any unexpected disaster, so be prepared.
You should always keep this question with the supportive answer: When will I take shelter? Will, you set up camp or wait until the conditions get good or too bad? Write in a note of the teahouse and lodge you just pass and how far you are from the nearest shelter so that you can feel safe and the one always see going back is safer than going forward to the next ledge- that might be open or not.
If this all thing fails then look for the other things that offer you the Shelter like a cave, huge rocks, the stupa, a hollow of the ground. To avoid hypothermia you should keep your body dry and warm and be far from the wild wind. To protect from the wind snow cave can protect you so dig the snow cave if there is no other option. Keep your body warm and if you can fire then fire to be warm, boil the water and store in the thermos(water bottle) and tries to keep your body dry and warm to avoid the many diseases.
The emergence of water and food
when start trekking in Nepal, You should know the answer to the question that how long can you stay without eating food and drinking water. Normally people can stay Two weeks without eating and can stay 2-3 days without drinking but the extreme dehydration can cause serious problems within 2-3 days. If you see the water station during the trail. The water of that environment is not safe and pure drinking the water can cause extreme problems.
You should carry the purification system or water purification tablets (Iodine) to drink the safe water. If you don't find water station you can melt ice or snow in the bottle. If you eat the un-melted ice it will lower your body temperature. While trekking in the mountain region you should always carry iodine or water purification tablets and as the food goes carry some snacks, a chocolate bar to gives you the extra energy in an emergency.
Know the Terrain
The Trekking in Nepal Another important tip to be safer from the mountain problems is the local advice. While traveling to the mountain region you should hire a guide to rescue from all the problems. They are well familiar with the local people and can ask about the weather and climate of those places, possible disaster in that place to remain safe and enjoy the trek. You should always carry a GPS system and the map of the base but they are poor than carry the one who is well-familiar and well-known about the terrain and landscapes and where you are going. On any trek to Mountain region make sure to let some people know the trial you are taking and when you will return back because nobody will come looking for you if you don't share your information and they don't know that you are missing.
We won't tell you don't hike alone but it is riskier than going with a guide or friends so that you have someone to share your experience of nature, environment, and your problems and they can help to get safer. So I advise you to go with a guide or with some friends make you safer and can enjoy the trek.
