Medical facilities in
Nepal mountain: Nepal is a developing
country. Modern faculties are centralized in the
main city only. Normally in the mountain there
is no good medical check post. The traditional
village people still believe in wish doctors and
herbal medicine as it was practice for long.
There are general medical service only in Manang
(Annapurna Circuit trail) and Pheriche (Everest
Base Camp trail). Even though there are medical
service they will not run round the year. They
will remain closed in deep winter and in monsoon
season which is known as off season in Nepal.
There could have a international medical
volunteer in a season. Mostly these medical are
to give you a orientation while you are going in
high mountain. Alpine Asian Treks
would always recommend to have your medical
facilities or ask your trekking operator to have
them. Make sure that your personal alergy or etc
should be carried by yourself. Thanks |
