While on trekking, please respect these travel tips:
Remain on established trekking routes.
Never go on trek solo. Trekking is more safe in groups.
Hiring trekking guides from reputable trekking agencies is the best way to travel safely. The local guide are normally well informed by source close to the security forces or the Maoist rebels.
For staying overnight, avoid buffer zones between the security forces and the Maoist rebels.
Avoid trekking routes mentionned in the travel advisories, especially those north of Jiri (Dolakha district), south of Lukla (Solukhumbu), west of Ghandruk (Annapurna area), north and northeast of Gorkha, west and east of Besisahar (Lamjung)
Be aware that different Maoist groups are operating in the country and there are different Maoist commanders. Maybe the Maoist commanders appear on the scene as civilians. Some groups are aggressive, other ones are very friendly.
It is strongly reccommended to follow the instructions given by the security forces or the Maoists. Don't bargain with Maoist activists. Let your guide pay the Maoist taxes or the so-called "donations".
Blockades and transport strikes should be respected by tourists. Otherwise you will get problems.
When planning for a trek you should keep your itinerary flexible. There are strikes and transport blockades every day in one or the other district. These activities are a real problem for tourists in the country.
Be informed! The security situation may change very fast. Let you inform by reliable local sources.
