Meals on the Trek
Three meals a day are included in the trek package. We provide clean and hygienic food from local lodges/tea houses, based on the menu choices. Breakfast and dinner are served at the same tea house/lodge, while lunch will be enjoyed on the trail. Each tea house offers the traditional Nepali dish, Dal Bhat (a combination of rice and lentils), as well as a variety of other items, including rice, seasonal vegetables, noodles, potatoes, and soups. Some lodges also serve Western-style foods, such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. Soft drinks, snacks, and beer are available in most tea house restaurants. For breakfast, a selection of cereals, bread, and egg dishes is generally offered.
Safe Drinking Water
Safe drinking water is crucial during the trek, especially at high altitudes. We recommend drinking at least 3-4 liters of water daily to help prevent dehydration and altitude-related issues (AMS). Whenever possible, we advise purchasing sealed, bottled mineral water, which can be bought from local shops and lodges. Although river, spring, and tap water may appear clean, it is not safe to drink directly. We recommend using water purification pills or a filter before consuming it. You can also buy boiled water from any lodge. The cost for boiled or bottled water ranges from $1 to $2 per liter, depending on the altitude and location. Be sure to prepare for the additional cost of beverages along the way.
Experience Required
The Tamang Heritage Trek is an easy trek, suitable for passionate walkers who can comfortably walk 5-7 hours a day with a light day pack. Trekking at high altitudes is more physically demanding than at lower altitudes; however, if you are in good health, have average physical fitness, and maintain a positive attitude and determination, you can successfully complete this trek. Regular exercise, such as jogging, in the weeks leading up to your trip will help improve your strength and stability. While prior hiking experience is helpful, no technical skills are required for this trek. It is important for participants with pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., heart, lung, or blood diseases) to consult a doctor before the trip. We also advise you to inform Nepal Spirit Adventure of any health conditions before booking the trek to help minimize the risk of altitude sickness.
Our Experienced Trek Guide & Porter
Nepal is a mountainous country with remote regions, so it is essential to have an experienced and qualified guide to ensure a safe journey and successful trek. At Nepal Spirit Adventure, we employ native trekking guides and porters who are trained, qualified, and experienced in leading trips like this. Our guides have been working with us for many years and are well-versed in the local culture, history, and geography.
Our experienced guides provide valuable local insights, offer advice on how to use your free time, and coordinate the day-to-day activities of the trek. While things might not always go according to plan, our guides are flexible and will ensure the journey remains smooth. All of our guides are fully trained and licensed by the Nepal Government, and certified by the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) and the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA).

Our guides are knowledgeable about the cultural customs of the trekking routes and will share personal experiences and insights about Nepalese culture—things you won’t find in guidebooks. During your trek, you’ll also have the chance to learn some basic Nepali phrases and explore other cultural aspects.
For group treks, we provide a trek leader and, depending on the group size, an assistant leader to ensure a smooth and safe trip. In case of health issues, there will always be an experienced guide to manage the trek and ensure everyone’s safety.
To make your trip enjoyable and comfortable, we provide one guide to support and carry your bags for every two trekkers, along with a Sherpa helper in certain conditions.
Recharging Electronic Devices
You can recharge your electronic devices using electricity or solar power sources available in most lodges along the trail. In Nepal, the power supply is 220-240 volts, 50 Hz (cycles per second). You’ll need a plug adapter for your devices, which can be purchased in Kathmandu before the trek, as the plugs in Nepal may be different from those in your home country. Be aware that there may be a small fee for using the recharging facilities, which is typically charged by the hour.
