Trekking routes in Nepal—such as Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Langtang Valley and Mardi Himal—have become a major attraction for travel enthusiasts from Bangladesh. However, without proper preparation, many face risks on these rugged mountain trails. Wherever you go, it is important to know a few key things in advance. Sozib Mia reports after speaking with mountaineers.

You should have a clear idea about the Himalayan route you plan to trek. There are plenty of videos of these routes on YouTube—watch them beforehand.
