A Nepali Visa: It is very easy to get a tourist visa for Nepal. You can also get the visa by filling up the online form on immigration form and printing it. Once you arrive in Nepal, you can give the printed form and pay the fee for your tourism nepali visa (either 2 weeks, 1 month or 3 months).

A protection against the sun: The weather of Nepal is not stable. It is sometimes very hot. To avoid such heat and save the skin under the sun, a good protective and authentic body lotion is very important.

The uses of boots for walking: Walking boots are footwear mainly designed for protecting the feet and ankles during outdoor activities like hiking and trekking. They help to walk long distances and help to gear without any injury.

A raincoat: Pokhara is a beautiful and most rainy city of Nepal. The weather changes instantly. Sometimes you do not have time and ideas to forecast the weather and heavy rainfall.

A flashlight:The electricity supply is not stable here in Nepal. It is fluctuating. Load shedding is another problem here in Nepal. Most of the villagers do not have access to electricity. That is why a flashlight is very important during a visit here in Nepal.

The Expenditure for trekking: There is no fixed rate for organizing the trekking and different travels. The best way is to find a good spot and place so that you do not need to pay much money. The average payment is 36 to 60 US dollars per person per day with a guide and porter but if you make a single trek without a guide and porter, it costs just about 9 to 12 US dollars per day.

Food and accommodation: The lodges of Nepal offer some rooms with attached bathroom or without at reasonable cost like 1 or 2 US dollars per night but there is a compulsion for tourists that they have to eat in the respective lodge or restaurant. The price of a normal meal is about 3 us dollars and the price of a meal is unified and equal in almost all restaurants but it may be different on the basis of services and places. Therefore, sometimes the price rate may fluctuate. The varieties and choices of meal may not be found in some restaurants but the items are hygienic and healthy.

Porter: Nepalese porters can carry heavy bags at a minimum rate while going trekking and hiking. They are paid between 25 to 30 US dollar per day which is not costly. They are kind, supportive and professional. They tie the required materials and carry them well and carefully.

Tour Guide: As Nepal is a beautiful country and there are a lot of things which can fascinate tourists around the world. To visit the places, a good guide is a good source who can lead you. A tour guide should be well informed and should have sufficient ideas regarding landscapes, religious and historical sites of places. If this is the first mountain trek, you should be familiar with the effects of high altitude sickness. Breathing sometimes becomes difficult at high altitude. The guides can support and lead any kind of travel with reasonable price. The guides sometimes wait for a tip about 10-15% of the total pay to the agency. But you can give them on the last day of visit which helps to improve the professionalism of the tourist guide. You can pay either local currency (Nepalese Rupee) or in Euros/Dollars.
