Carry your important medicine.
Medicine is very important. If you have any disease, you must carry the medicine with you. In the "prevention is better than cure" mountain region, we can’t find any healthcare, clinics, or hospitals. If there is a clinic, you may not get medicine according to your problems. So, I humbly request that you prepare if you are continually taking any medicine. Please bring it with you or buy it in Kathmandu. It is very important, but our company will provide something in the first aid kit bag, normally for a headache or fever,
