Post Corona Trip to Nepal- Say No Covid -19 Overview

EMEN has an all new way to attract tourists to Nepal and its Himalayas. Now that road and air transport has been severely affected due to the ongoing pandemic, the state tourism department is planning to promote road trips in Nepal. The campaign called Post Corona Trip to Nepal after Pandemic.

A freewheeling road trip is a thing of the past now. Travel in these times, more than ever before, needs careful planning and preparation. Before you hit the roads, read the map and fix your path. Check for routes that have several pitstop options and try to gather as much information on the different zones that you will be crossing as is possible. Some states may have specific travel advisories or some restrictions, while some areas may still be cordoned off.  Road trips in the current times of COVID-19 need thorough planning and caution needs to be practised to enjoy a safe and seamless journey.

Plan You’re Pit Stops
Planning your pit stops is just as important as planning out the route for your road trip. Zero down on your spots for fuel, food, rest and stay before you set out. Travel apps like AroundMe or Google Maps can be useful in telling you what’s nearby and which could be some of the best spots to hit up that are practicing safety measures. From hotels to pharmacies, petrol pumps and eateries—these apps have a pretty exhaustive list with user feedback.

Stay Clean 

Also, remember to pay thorough attention to hygiene. If you need to stay somewhere overnight, choose remote homestays or rentals. If you’re going for hotels or Airbnbs, choose those that have ramped-up their safety standards, and remember to call ahead to confirm your reservation. Go for contactless check-ins, and if you plan to stay for more than a night, consider forgoing housekeeping services. Remember to use your sanitizing supplies for ‘high-touch’ surfaces like faucets, buttons, chairs or handles at all time.

Sanitizing Your Car

A road trip may sound great to seal yourself and your companions off from other travelers and COVID-19 pathogens, but if your car isn’t clean and sanitized well, it could very easily turn into a rolling can of germs. Service your car before your trip to ensure the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system) are in top hygienic form. Regularly disinfect your car door handles and seat covers—a simple rub down with alcohol-based sanitizers will do it. If you plan to switch around driving responsibilities with your travel mates, remember to sanitize the steering wheel, gear shaft, stereo system and all other display screens. Most importantly, wash your floor mats as frequently as possible to avoid the dirt from your shoes which stays locked in longer with you in a box!

Travel With Quarantine Partners 
Enjoying the outdoors from the safety of your car—a road trip fits squarely into the social distancing trip requirement during this COVID-19 outbreak. What can get tricky though is your choice of travel buddies. If you are planning to take the trip with three separate friends who have been staying with different groups of people, you might be tempting trouble without much effort. While your buddies may look healthy, they may be asymptomatic carriers of the COVID-19 virus, and before you know, your car may just turn into a running virus-mobile! So, stick to people you are quarantining with and remember to maintain healthy physical distance.

What To Pack

So now that you have your car, route and travel mates sorted, it’s time to consider your supplies. Masks, sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, disposable gloves, and bags for disposing of used supplies are the first that you load your bags with. Given that you will be hitting public restrooms and eateries, remember to pack in those toilet seat sprays/wipes. Carry enough food and water, it will help you limit your need to make stops. Carry food in individual portions to avoid sharing. Also, you can give the crumbly things a miss to keep your car interiors clean.

EMEN is planning some new approach to make the travel easy and possible throughout Nepal. We are focusing on Trekking and Expedition as well. According to the desire of clients we can make the safety plan.

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, representatives of the Himalayan Nepal Adventure will pick up at the airport and take us to the hotel. In the afternoon, we will have a pre-departure discussion to meet with our tour leaders and other team members. We can use this moment to ask any questions about our management and the leaders who are struggling. In the evening, Himalayan Adventure Nepal will offer a welcome dinner.

On a 40-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (9186 feet), we enjoyed one of the most beautiful routes in the world and ended up enjoying the hillsides surrounded by high mountains.

In an hour of gradual decline, we will be in the village of Cheplung, from where we can see the mountains. Khumbila (18,900 feet), a sacred mountain that has never climbed.

The strong ascent bring  us to the main heart of the village Sherpa – Namche Bazaar. It is one hour from the Namche Bazaar and if the weather permits, we can see the places of interest of the Mount. Mount Everest and Mount Loch. We will spend the night in Namche Bazaar. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

We will spend the night in Namche Bazaar. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

This hard journey includes the famous Dudh-Koshi River and the equally famous ascent along the rhododendron forest to Tengboche. When descending to the Dudh Kish River, we enjoyed the views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde and other hills. Upon reaching Tengboche, we will visit the Tengboche Monastery, the largest monastery in the area, and enjoy the views of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam and other peaks. We will spend the night in Tengboche. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

We go down the mountain and walk through the forests full of leafy trees: birches, conifers and rhododendrons. This trip once again rewards us with a great stage. Mount Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. The picturesque trails slip into Devuche, cross the Imja River and take us to Pangboche. The Pangboche trail above rewards us with the most original views of the Himalayas and the Pangboche monastery. Walk to the Imja Valley, Lobuche River and finally up to Dingboche. In Dingboche, we see a series of beautiful fields surrounded by stone walls to protect barley, buckwheat and potatoes from cold winds and animals that graze. We will spend the night in Dingbo. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

The town is beautiful, with a series of fields surrounded by stone walls that protect barley, buckwheat and potatoes from cold winds and grazing. We spend a day in Dingboche to adapt to the environment. We walk to Nagarjuna Mountain or Chukkhung valley to enjoy the beauty of Makalu, Lhotse, Chalotse.

We start our day and little by little we climb Duglha at the end of the terminal hailstorm on the Khumbu glacier. From here, we climb a steep trail to Chupki Lhara, where we find a series of stones with prayer flags to commemorate Scott Fischer (American climber) and 10 summits of Mount Everest. Babridge Sherpa (Nepalese mountain guide) climbs the Mount Everest mission. Next, we continue towards the Khumbu Glacier and we find ourselves in front of several peaks: Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalalur Himal. While traveling through the valley towards Lobuche, the road was relieved. We will spend the night in Lobuche. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

We travel to Everest Base Camp along the once extensive Gorak Shep Lake. Continuing, we find the monument to the climbers of the Indian army. The road from here can be deceptive, therefore, we must work hard to follow our leader Sherpa. Walking is difficult due to the low altitude air. Before reaching the base camp of Everest, we cross the rocky sandbanks, the hail and the streams. After arriving at the Everest base camp, we see the climber’s tent stand out in bright colors and the tedium of the gray environment (especially in the spring). Nuptse, Khumbuste and Pumori are the mountains that we can see from the base camp. We back to Gorak Shep for a wonderful night. We will spend the night in Gorak Shep. However, the sunset view of Kala Patthar is more admirable than the sunrise landscape, so HAN suggest to visit Kala Patthar during today’s sunset.

Therefore, for those hikers who wish to continue using Kala Patthar today instead of the next day, inform your guide and he will coordinate accordingly. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

Between the dark and cold temperatures before dawn (-10 to -14 degrees Celsius), we are ready to leave early in the morning. In addition, there is always the possibility of cold winds, which is very common.

However, after arriving at Kala Patthar, we can see 360 degrees of closeness and daunting mountain views. Everest. We take pictures, enjoy the magnificent panorama of the mountains and then return to Pheriche to spend a wonderful night. Participants who will visit the Everest base camp today will have breakfast in advance, since hiking at Everest base camp will take longer than Kala Patthar. After returning to Gorak Shep, the two groups will have lunch together, in the afternoon, they will go to Pheriche for a good night. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

We trek along the slopes covered with rhododendrons and junipers. After crossing the bridge hanging from the prayer flags on the Dudh Koshi River, our trails quickly pass through the pine forest along the Dudh Koshi Gorge. In the forest, we can find colorful pheasants and goats. This road finally reaches Sansa, from where we can admire the views of the Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Nuptse mountains. Before reaching the Namche Bazaar, we passed the path and then through the forest. We will spend the night in Namche Bazaar. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

This path has been drastically reduced, so we must walk with caution because our crumbling legs are constantly fighting on rocky terrain. After crossing the suspension bridge over the rapid movement of Dudh Koshi and its tributaries, the path became flatter and more natural. After reaching Lukla, we stretch our aching legs and remember the experience of the last weeks. We will spend the night in Lukla. Meals included: breakfast lunch dinner

After a long mountaineering trip, we took a flight to Kathmandu early in the morning. After arriving in Kathmandu, we can take a break or do some souvenir shopping.
