Carry your important medicine

Pikey Danda Trek Medicine is very important if you have any ailments. You must carry the medicine with you. In the "prevention is better than cure" mountain region, we can’t find any healthcare facilities, clinics, or hospitals. If there is a clinic, you may not get the medicine you need for your problem. 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, fever, stomach problems such as diarrhoea, cough, and cold, some bandages, tape, and Diamox for high altitude sickness, etc.
