The purpose of these permits is to preserve the surreal charm of nature and the authentic traditions and cultures of local inhabitants.

Accommodation & food during the Solukhumbu Biking Adventure

Some adventure seekers would like to camp and spend the night underneath the blanket of starry skies, which is also possible in the serene atmosphere of the region. Several villages also offer homestays with warmer hospitality, providing local cuisines in their traditional way. You can experience life in such a remote biking destination by living with local families.

In lower altitudes, you may have meals on your desire at affordable prices but as you ascend to the higher points, the rate tends to increase due to the difficulty of transportation. Regardless, you experience Nepali items and international dishes during your journey, such as Dhido, Dal, Bhat, noodles, pasta, momos, etc., except in some remote areas.

  • Always pay attention to your body and remain vigilant.
  • Medical facilities may be available to you along the adventure, but make sure you have communication in case of an emergency.

Symptoms: headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, breathing problems, loss of appetite, confusion, coughing, sleeping difficulty, blue or gray lips, and fingernails.
