<strong>GO</strong> TREK<br />

FOT or Camping <strong>Trek</strong><br />

In a Fully Organised <strong>Trek</strong> (FOT) or Camping <strong>Trek</strong> you won’t have to worry a thing about logistics.<br />

You just choose a trek and make the payment and the agency will organise the trek for you. From<br />

obtaining the required permits to arranging a guide, porters, tents, cook, kitchen crew and rations,<br />

the agency will handle all the details. Out of the three options, FOT or Camping trek is the most<br />

expensive. But you will be treated like royalty during a camping trek. A typical day will involve the<br />

kitchen crew serving you ‘bed-tea’ early in the morning. Shortly after that, warm water will be provided<br />

for washing up. A sumptuous breakfast will follow (seated on chairs and tables!). The day’s<br />

trek will begin after breakfast. Around mid-day the group will halt at a camping site for lunch. Many<br />

trekkers express amazement at the variety of dishes the kitchen crew is able to rustle up in the<br />

remote mountains. A camping tent to sleep, a dining tent to dine, and a toilet tent to serve as a<br />

‘rest-room’ - you may as well be camping on your backyard! The only thing is you don’t get to enjoy<br />

awesome views of Himalayan mountains from your tent while camping in your backyard.<br />
