Photography & Drone Rules
When you visit Nepal for the Lobuche Peak Climbing with the Everest Base Camp expedition, the trip would be incomplete unless you capture memories in photographs or motion pictures. Personal cameras can be used without any problem to take pictures.
Still, in the case of drones, a permit from the relevant department is needed, especially in such areas as national parks or mountains. A drone under 2kg with a flight height of less than 200 feet may require minimal permission; however, it is essential to check the sanctioned flying area and obtain approval before flying.

Tips for First-Time Nepal Visitors
For any first-time Nepal visitors, the key to a successful journey is preparation. While trekking, it is critical to dress in layers, use good hiking boots, and pack necessary for changing weather situations. Be respectful and ask permission if you want to click photos of the villagers. To avoid altitude sickness, it’s essential to keep your body hydrated regularly by drinking water. Also, remember to bring power banks in case your devices run out of battery, providing a backup to keep charging.
Typical Daily Routine on the Trek
Climbing the Lobuche Peak trek, you do the entire day the same way: you get up early, eat breakfast, and go for a several-hour walk through fascinating Himalayan landscapes, walking through villages, hanging bridges, and woods.
By noon, you’ll have arrived at your overnight accommodation, where you can meet the locals and, if necessary, take a short hike to adapt. You will definitely be sleeping, eating, and getting ready for an amazing trip the next day.
Mental Preparation & Trekking Mindset

Learn and practice slow and controlled climbing, try to keep a positive attitude during tough times, and use your imagination to see yourself reaching the top and getting back safely. A strong mind will help you to keep your spirits up, be at ease, and confront the mountain with your bravest confidence.
