Modern
faculties are centralized in the main city only. Normally in the
mountain there
is no good medical check post. The traditional village people still
believe in
wish doctors and herbal medicine as it was practice for long. There are
general
medical service only in Manang (Annapurna Circuit trail) and Pheriche
(Everest
Base Camp trail). Even though there are medical services they will not
run round
the year. They will remain closed in deep winter and in monsoon season
which is
known as off season in Nepal. There could have a international medical
volunteer
in a season. Mostly these medical are to give you a orientation while
you are
going in high mountain. Alpine Asian Treks would always recommend having
your
medical facilities or asking your trekking operator to have them. Make
sure that
your personal allergy or etc should be carried by yourself. Thanks!
