No automotive fuels for obvious reasons, but kerosene (paraffin) everywhere.

But firstly: it you walk normal routes and stay in lodges, there is absolutelly no need for a stove. Only if you plan to camp ourside major trails. Most first time trekkers do not realize threre are lodges and teashops every few miles all alng the route and no camping gear is needed at all (tents, stoves, food etc).

Secondly: if you for some reason want to carry a stove, get a cheap screw-on gas burner and use gas propane-butane cartritges. At those elevations they work also at below freezing temperatures. Faster, more convenient, lighter.
