| GENERAL INFORMATION |

PHYSICAL FITNESS:
|
| You don't need to possess an exceptional physique or
any great strength to enjoy trekking in Nepal. If you are in good
health, physically fit and have a taste for outdoor life, you can
join most of our treks. Some treks, however, are quite rigorous and
involve climbing high altitudes. Difficulties may be encountered on
these treks because of the thin air at such elevations and the strenous
exertions required. If you are planning to go on such a trek, STS
requests you to produce a medical certificate that you are fit and
in good health to go on the trip. |
