Insurance of the trip
It is good to be insured while you are going on a Kailash tour. Let the insurance cover the ambulance and airlift with heli on the Nepal side. Please make sure you are traveling above 4500m.
Health Precaution
Precaution is better than cure. In the high altitude the oxygen level in blood goes down and you might have problems like headaches, vomiting, dizziness and nausea. So, walking slowly, speaking slowly is required. We have to drink a lot of water, juice and soups. It is cold in Kailash and surrounding areas, so we have to wear warm gear and protect ourselves from the cold.
Communication and Network
At Kathmandu you can get a SIM Card, but it doesn’t work on the Tibet side. You can use wifi in the hotel you are staying in Nepal. At Mansarovar and during the Kora/ Parikrama for three days there are no wifi facilities. In an emergency the guide will be carrying a mobile phone.
Weather and Climate
In the month of May to September the weather in Kathmandu is nice but it is summer season and it will rain most of the time in the late afternoon in June, July and August. There can be blockage of roads because heavy rain landslides might occur in between Kathmandu to the border side. In that case we have to wait till the landslide is clear or we might have to change to a vehicle. So, don’t foreget to carry good rain coat. Tibet is still cold. You have to carry a warm Jacket. Woolen caps and gloves is compulsory. The temperature in Tibet can go from -5 degree to -10 degree. Warm gear is necessary to carry in the Kailash tour to protect from cold.
Precautions and High Altitude
As we go to high altitude there is a chance of getting altitude sickness. The oxygen is low in blood level. So, we need to get acclimatized. So we need to rest and hike up and sleep at low altitude. We can take Diamox before reaching 3500m. It is the medicine for altitude. In the altitude you need to read the body and go with it. In case you are too sick you have to come down as quickly as possible. You can drive at night too in the emergency. In any case you need to talk to the guide and your group leader.
Physical Fitness
Kailash Yatris/travellers who plan to join the trip must do walking, jogging, cycling or any sport at least a month or two months ago. It is good to consult your doctor if you have any health issues or you can do a whole body examination before heading to the Kailash tour. Please follow the doctor instructions and take medicine on time if you are sick. If you are a patient of depression and you are on medication, sleeping pills should be avoided.
Currency
The money that is used in Nepal is Nepalese Rupee, we accept foreign currency. Or you can exchange money at a hotel or money exchange in Kathmandu. In Tibet or in Kailash Chinese Yuan and US Dollar are only accepted. So you have to be prepared from Kathmandu itself to get Yuan and US dollars. You need to convert Chinese Yuan or US dollars from Kathmandu.
