Anyone who is mentally and physically fit can easily complete the climbing Tent Peak.

Though, trekking trail to Annapurna also gives you the positive vibration and helpful adventure to climb ahead of Tent East Peak.
High Altitude Sickness
If the Climbers have symptoms of headache, loss of appetite, diarrhea, shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea, rapid pulse with sleeping problem, he/she is suffered by high altitude sickness. The other factors such as changing weather, cold, sun, wind, low oxygen and bad foods are the key component of high altitude sickness. So trekkers need to warm while trekking EBC with proper clothes and equipment. It can affect people of any age, sex and physical conditions. So, we suggest our clients, do not drink alcohol and smoke, drink plenty of water while hiking to Everest Base Camp, train your body and strength up before trekking, eat energy food, and mentally be happy during your journey. The most common medicine for preventing high altitude sickness is Diamox or Acetazolamide. Even our guide takes Diamox on the route which is easily purchased in Kathmandu and during trekking section. Ascending down is the solution to avoid high altitude as the altitude sickness affects people from the elevation of 2600 meters above sea level. For normal high altitude sickness our guide helps to control by providing medicine and good food and he takes to medication center where available. If the trekkers feel bad, we send private helicopter for rescue, which is covered by your personal travel insurance. So, individual insurance is necessary while climbing to Tent Peak that is in case of emergency.
Best Time to Climb
If you are looking Climb to Tent Peak, you must know the best time to visit such as weather and circumstances with other factors that affects in your trip. The best time to visit Annapurna Base Camp is March – May and Sep – Nov due to clear sky and pleasant temperature. Spring and autumn is considered as the best season to Climb Tent Peak. In spring, the days are warmer and longer whereas the autumn has short days. October and April is the peak touristic months having more crowd but the weather is fantastic and amazing.
Pre-monsoon is called spring season that covers the month of March, April and May whereas the lower region of Everest, rhododendron and flower blooms with warm temperature. In higher route, there will be more chance of problematic snowfall with sunny weather.
Post-monsoon is called autumn season that covers the month of September, October and November whereas the Himalaya is full of blue sky, pleasant atmosphere, moderate temperature with less chance of problematic snowfall. As for the climate, it is neither warmer at day or not freezing cold at night. The Tea houses, cafes are full of tourist and visitors in autumn season.
Accommodation
During the trekking trail to Everest Base Camp, trekkers sleep and eat in Tea houses. But during climbing section for night sleep, we will organize Camping Tents at Tent Peak Base Camp, and in high Camp. We also serve food and during climbing section. Tea houses provide tea and food which is the best possible accommodation available on the route. Tea houses offer very basic accommodation facilities having bed and blanket inside the room and some places attached bathroom too. The tea houses looks very basic and normal but it is neat and clean. In our program, we provide simple/normal lodge for trekkers and according of their choice and interest also can provide luxury lodge where available. Though, tea houses provide us the blanket but it is not enough to reduce cold. That is why, we suggest to bring sleeping bag own self to make warm and safety night. During Base Camp of Tent Peak and in high Camp, the climbers sleep in camping tent where all meals will be serve by Adventure Planner climbing crew. After we will leave the ABC in all section, we make camping tent before returning to ABC after climbing Tent East Peak.
Food and water
Food and water is very important things during the trekking to Everest Base Camp and climbing section. Tea houses provide breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Tea/coffee. Trekkers can choose the food from Menu list what they like to eat such as Nepali food (Dal Bhat), soups, snakcs, momos, fried Rice, continental and American breakfast, porridge, Bread with Jam and honey, Eggs, noodles, spaghetti, spring roll, fried potatoes, and steak. We recommend to have vegetarian food during trek due to porter and yaks carry meat from lower region which is not refrigerated that may cause stomach problem. Therefore, we would highly recommend to avoid meat dishes on the route with exception of tinned fish and preserved items. So, no need to carry food except chocolates, such as Diary milk, Snickers, Mars and so on.
Do not drink water from river or water fall; local people can easily drink the running water that is not fit for foreigners as they do not have habit before. So, we recommend to drink bottle water or boiled water for good health that keeps our body safe. Even, trekkers keep purification tablet inside water, kills 99.9% of bacteria, virus and protozoa. Because of the altitude, it is recommend to drink 2-3 liters per day.
During climbing section of Tent peak 3/4 Nights, we provide Dal bhat which is local food and also provides noodles, soup, Breakfast such as Toast, Omelet egg, Tea Coffee and so on.
Hire a Guide
A person having license from Nepal government, who guides visitor, interprets the cultural and nature, leads the right track to the Himalaya having responsible work recognized by the appropriate authority is known as trekking guide. Guide not only led the way rather he is the ambassador of country explaining People, history, geography, religion and make successful attempt for visitors.
Trekking guide is also knows as Trek Leader who makes easy access in Himalayan region to book Tea houses, order food for visitors, manage porters, and lead the right trail to destination. During trekking, Guide is a good friend, makes entertainment with fun and laughter too. So, Trekking guides has very important role who not only make enjoyable trip but also educate the visitors through interpretation and contribute sustainability of local environment. The trekking agency should choose appropriate guide by providing suitable training time and again though they are government license holder. Guides expected to work to a high level of customer service keeping good reputation of the company and clients.
That is why our Guide has good communication skill, immediately solve the problem, decision making with self-motivation having physically strong and fit. Either the visitor go to Everest region trek, Annapurna region trek, Upper Mustang trek, Langtang region trek or other trekking trail, our guide makes successful effort to complete the trip. We will send climbing guide from Kathmandu with you who will help for both section such as trekking and climbing section.
Hire a Porter
Trekking porters are those people who carry the gear of trekkers from one place to other, lives in village especially from Sherpa, Tamang, Gurung and Rai, community. They are very innocent, kind, pleasant and smiling having broken English will be together from beginning to the end of the trip. Porters are the backbone of the trekking without them it will be incomplete. A trekking porter carries 25 kg to 30 kg of gears who are very fit from mountain altitude. Porters are the transport of the visitors so must be good relationship with Guide and trekkers. During the end of the trek at Kathmandu, we suggest for visitor to have TIP to porters for their support and cooperation.
Trekking porters drive together with the trekking crew from Kathmandu. Our guide will manage to find the porter and during tea house section they will sleep in tea house and during climbing section they sleep in camping tent with trekking crew.
Telephone and Internet
The internet, telephone and mobile phone is available all the way to Everest Base Camp. There are multiple option for Internet and mobile network such as NTC and NCELL. Sometimes internet becomes poor during the time of bad weather or snow. Even the guest houses have WI-FI during the trek to EBC, which is not free, may charge to you. But during Base Camp of Tent Peak, the telephone does not work. Even in High Camp there is no internet connection. Due to the exciting geography and sometime bad weather conditions the mobile network has not access in all parts of the trial but the network such as NCELL and NTC works most of the places. The both NTC and NCELL Sim Cards can purchase at Tribhuvan Interantional Airport, Kathmandu or in the street of touristic town Thamel.
Toilet and Shower
Wherever travel in the Himalaya, must know the circumstances of toilet and shower before depart to the destination. During the trek to ABC rekking trail, toilet and shower should be shared by all trekkers due to common Tea houses only with normal beds in the Room. There are the opportunity of attached Room with toilet and Shower in some places; we provide it where possible to get it.
We suggest to bring toilet paper during the trail due to very cold water for your safety and protection. In climbing part, our climbing members will organize camping tent for toilet too as we want to protect environment and we dig the toilet inside mud.
Climbing Insurance
Climbing insurance is very important component during the trek to Everest Base Camp. We suggest trekkers to make plan to be covered up to 6,200 meters. Due to unexpected event or emergency evacuation, if the trekkers feel uncomfortable to walk in Himalaya, Helicopter rescue is necessary along with administration in hospital. So, need insurance for your safety and protection. There are so many insurance companies, you may find in internet and make strong insurance for your security. There may occur so many causes such as altitude sickness, accidents, physical illness, flight cancellation, that is why need to make insurance before you fly to Nepal for Tent Peak Climbing.
Climbing Permit
Annapurna Base Camp is situated inside the territory of Annapurna Conservation Area which is the first conservation area of Nepal. Foreign Trekkers are required to obtain permit to entry Annapurna Circuit Trek such as ACAP Permit and TIMS.
ACAP is known as Annapurna Conservation Area permit which cost 30$ per person where is 10$ for TIMS (Trekking Information Management System).
