authorized trekking porters and porter/guide, It is established very
newly from us. We all have been working for years as porter/guide
together through trekking agency, but we were not well paid and well
equipped as most of our friends had died untimely because of poor
equipments. We are sure the trekking agencies must have guaranteed for
our well wages and equipments in agreement with Customer but we had to
suffer from the agency. The government is quiet to talk about these
issues even didn't see any improve of trekking agencies about to
promote porters rights. So, we decided to make a team gathering all

are well-established Mountain lodges providing sleeping accommodation
and meals. Gone are the days when trekkers had to share dormitories,
almost all lodges nowadays provide private rooms and many also have
solar showers and clean toilet facilities. You can of course opt for a
camping trek in these regions but as many campsites are connected to
lodges it is debatable whether there is real benefit being under

rugged nature of the Himalayas, there is more exposure to heights as
the grade is steeper. Where the trek follows rivers there will be
bridges, as the trail will often reverse sides. The bridges are

last ten years; I have local knowledge to choose the lodges, which
maintain a high standard of hygiene. If you are camping in a tent, all
meals are prepared to high standards, fruit and vegetables are soaked
in iodine before preparation. Most lodges serve boiled and filtered
water, which is generally safe, we suggest a drop of iodine to be
totally sure. We discourage the purchase of bottled water for the
obvious environmental reasons. Please bring a water bottle with you,
which you can refill.
overloading. Usually you will experience warm days and cold nights
depending on altitude and the time of year. Most treks to around 3000
m. are really quite comfortable especially in springtime. Please refer
to my web site for a suggested list of items to bring or e-mail me for
our equipment list. It is worth remembering you can buy or rent a lot
of what you will need in Kathmandu before your trek at very reasonable
prices, I can also provide our own back pack to you for rental.
Footwear is best purchased at home before your arrival to ensure they
are comfortable and worn in.
You will need to carry only the daily necessities such as water bottle
(1Litre), camera, personal toiletries, and extra clothing as dictated
by the weather. Your hiking shoes, or lightweight boots, should be
well broken in. They will be your best friend on the trek.

days into our trekking Itinerary. Most people will feel some affect of
altitude, shortness of breath and possibly light headed, this is
fairly common. Acute mountain sickness is very different and normally
involves a severe headache, sickness and loss of awareness. In almost
every potential case there are enough warning signs to take
appropriate action. Descending to a lower altitude will generally be
enough to prevent any further problems. Some trekkers obtain a
prescription for medication for AMS (Diamox) - you can discuss with
your doctor whether this is right for you.
the basic ailments that may occur on trek. In the event of an
emergency the guidewill cover initial expenses of any rescue
operation, which organises evacuation by helicapter if needed. It is a
condition of booking that you are adequately insured for such an event
as these expenses will need to be recovered from your insurance
