Client and crew safety is the most important priority for any Top Out Adventures trip. We will take every precaution possible to mitigate risks and be prepared in the case of an emergency situation on the adventure.
Mitigation Precautions:
A trained first responder will be on the crew
All clients will be given a route briefing the day before and a printed map with contact numbers
Crew members will be carrying GPS spot trackers with SOS buttons
Crew members will be carrying 2-way radios
Homebase crew will be tracking progress of the crew GPS trackers and will be able to contact Search and Rescue if needed
Travel Safety
Anytime you travel in another country it is important to know the lay of the land. With crew members who have traveled extensively in Nepal and local guides who speak the language, we will be making the best possible decisions to be safe. Decisions on when and where we travel is similar to any place in the world. We will be tracking information from the authorities and using local intel. Nepal is a wonderfully open and kind culture. Our goal is to avoid the dangerous exceptions.
Food:
We will carry food for snacks and light lunches while traveling. There will be opportunities to buy local food and eat out. Breakfast and dinner while trekking will be provided at the teahouses. This is a chance to try the local cuisine. If you have special food you want to carry on runs, you will need to bring it with you.
The trails are always better when shared with good friends.
Kathmandu is full of culture, beauty and a bit of chaos.
