Good nutritional food is one the most important elements of a successful trek. Which is why Tusker owner, Amy Frank has designed our well-planned trekking menu.
One of the problems in the Khumbu valley is sanitation. A lot of travelers in Nepal fall prey to virulent stomach bugs from the local food and water. For this reason we bring own cooking team which prepares our carefully planned meals under strict hygienic conditions. We also boil and purify all of the drinking water.

We carry plenty of oxygen and a portable oxygen chamber.
And if you have an emergency that requires a helicopter evacuation, you are covered by RIPCORD, our air evacuation company of note. During the devasting Nepal earthquake in 2015 our guides, together with Ripcord, evacuated the entire group back home quickly and safely.

None of our treks would be possible without the solid backup we get from our crew - the Sherpas and their yaks. They are the foundation of our treks and make sure all your gear and food get where it's supposed to.
