What kind of health precautions do I need to take? What immunisations are needed?

It depends on what you may have already had. Please check with your doctor or local health professional for guidance on immunisations. In terms of medical care whilst in Nepal the larger towns have pharmacies, although the dispensing agent usually has only basic medical training so it is best if you know what you need. As gastric problems are common we suggest you consult with you local doctor before coming to bring appropriate remedies. It is also helpful if you travel with your own primary first aid kit.
