    Down Jacket

    A down jacket, also known as a puffer jacket is a quilted coat filled with soft feathers either from a duck or goose. Down jackets are more popular for cold climates and especially useful in mountains and higher altitudes. They are generally preferred by hikers, trekkers, and backpackers for being extremely comfortable due to their lightweight and compressibility making it easy to pack without occupying a lot of space. It has an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, best for maintaining body heat essential for trekking in cold climates and higher altitudes.

    Sleeping Bag

    Sleeping bags are essential gear for travelers and trekkers which provide good comfort and protection in various climatic conditions and altitudes. Most of our treks and tours require a sleeping bag as it keeps you warm by trapping the heat around you from your body.

    The sleeping bags we use are mummy-shaped with a zip up and down that keeps the top tight around you. It is used in cold and wet climates in high altitudes( -20°C to  -25°C maximum temperature) giving you protection, and comfort and as well it is also lightweight and compact which it easy to carry on long treks. The sleeping bag is returned after the trek as it helps us to maintain our gear for future adventurers.

      Gorgeous Views!

      Excellent trekking experience with Escape Himalaya to Kala Patthar! Everything went seamlessly, and my guide ensured we were safe and comfortable at all times, even in the high altitude. Will definitely choose EH again when I am back in Nepal for more hiking! The country is so beautiful and just has so much to offer!

      Amazing Manaslu Circuit with Phurba & Ram

      Just back from a fantastic 2 week trek around the Manaslu Circuit including Larke Pass (5100m). The weather was perfect and the views were outstanding!!

      Our guide Phurba Sherpa was excellent. Super knowledgeable and helpful at all times and always made sure we had a fantastic trip.

      Our porter, Ram Badhadur Magar was also a rockstar. He was super professional and always arrived before us every day. He was also super friendly and helpful too.

      Thanks to Phurba, Ram for always smiling and for a fantastic trip. Would highly recommend them to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal

      Everest base camp trek - Mar-Apr 2024

      My 60 year old pals set out in hope on this adventure. In late March. We had our guide Raj Kumar and two porterd Janak and Ramesh. All three were stars. We changed our schedule - no problem. I would not have made it without Raj. I cannot thank him enough. Janak often took my back pack on steep climbs where I was struggling. This is a truly majestic and spiritual trek and I would encourage using Escape Himalaya and request this team of guide and porters if you want to give yourself the best chance of finishing and making best use of your time.

    Q7. Do we need a visa before coming to Nepal?

    Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Nepal. However, the process for obtaining a visa depends on your nationality.

    • 30 Days – 50 USD
    • 90 Days – 125 USD

    Q8. Which one is better: Group or Solo (private) trek?

    Escape Himalaya offers both group and solo trek to Everest Base Camp. However, to choose to join which tour style completely depends upon the traveler itself.

    If you are happy to meet people from other parts of the world and join in an experience of a lifetime with fellow travelers, then going for a group trek is also best.

    However, if you prefer freedom and flexibility, trekking solo (private) will give you the independence to set your own pace and choose your itinerary. You will have the flexibility to make spontaneous decisions. You will not be bound by a group schedule and choose to lead your journey as you wish and even modify the plan if needed.
