Consejos de reserva<\/h2>\n

Book the Simikot flight 6 months ahead for October departures through a Nepalgunj based agency. The agency can reserve the first lodge at Simikot village in your name. Beyond Simikot village, advance booking is not possible because there are no phones. Carry $200 cash for food and lodging because ATMs do not exist past Nepalgunj.<\/p>\n

Bring a 20,000 mAh power bank because solar charging at the lodges is slow and costs $2 to $3 per device. Pack a minus 10 Celsius sleeping bag, a quick dry towel, 100 wet wipes, 2 litres of hand sanitiser, iodine water purification tablets, and a small medical kit including rehydration salts and altitude medication.<\/p>\n

Compared with the Langtang Valley Trek, which has 30 plus teahouses with attached toilets and hot showers at $15 to $25 per night, the Simikot route is far more basic.

Compared with the Limi Valley Trek, which requires full camping for 10 to 14 nights at $2,800 to $3,800, the Simikot route offers basic teahouse beds at $5 to $10 per night.<\/p>\n

Compared with the Rara Lake Trek, which has basic teahouses at $8 to $12 per night with similar squat toilets, the Simikot route is similar in standard but more remote from road access.<\/p>\n
