"Always be ready" is the main moto in our company as during travel "expect the unexpected" ,anything can happen at anytime although trekking is not dangerous in context of Nepal, safety should always be kept in notice. Unlimited himalaya adventures will always have a pre-trek meeting where among others safety will be discussed. We still recommend, however, that you prepare yourself as much as possible and go through the below health and safety instructions-that would be helpful.
