Question 1

Visa Application Process

Accepted Answer

If you choose to not apply for your visa online using the E-visa scheme, (Apply here: https://visa.nadra.gov.pk/mountaineering-trekking/ ) then physical visas can only be arranged in the country your passport is from so if, for example, you have a British passport you must sort your visa in the UK. If you are traveling long-term out of your home country, we recommend posting your passport back to your home country and getting a friend, family member, or visa service to help you submit your visa application.

You can also usually get a visa in another country if you have a residency visa there. You will need a letter of invitation for your visa application and we will provide this, as well as tips on how to make the visa application as stress-free as possible, once your spot is confirmed.
Please note your LOIs, which you need for your visa applications, are included in the cost of this tour and will be sent out to you approximately three months before the start of the tour.

Question 7

Food & Water on Trekks

Accepted Answer

On trek, the food is a mixture of local and Western, dishes using ingredients mostly purchased in Pakistan and cooked by our highly trained trek cooks.
 
Breakfasts consist of cereal, muesli or porridge, eggs, bread or chapatti, tea and coffee.

Lunch is a picnic from a choice of canned fish, tinned meats, cheese, pickles, pate, and crackers or chapattis, sometimes accompanied by hot soup and noodles, and finished off with tea or coffee. 
Dinner taken in a group ‘mess’ tent, is a three course meal. We do routinely cater for vegetarians but you must discuss with us if you wish your diet to be exclusively vegetarian.
There will ALWAYS be some decent vegetarian and non-spicy items, but you also need to have realistic expectations regarding Pakistani cuisine, which can be meat-heavy, and SPICY.

It is not recommended to drink untreated water from the taps. If you are on a trekking or cycling holiday, water is supplied to fill up your individual bottles. This will be boiled, filtered or provided in large jerry cans or 5 litre bottles. Additionally you should take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) to treat your water when in towns or where water is not supplied. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

Question 8

Special Diet/Menu on the Trek

Accepted Answer

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot provide special diets.  Due to the nature of the trips that we operate, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your diet with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please speak to us so that we will be able to advise you whether or not we can offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

Question 9

Severe Allergies

Accepted Answer

If you have a severe allergy please inform MouhimJo team before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on our trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.
