Guide and Porter Services Overview
Selecting Guide and Porter hiring services in Nepal Tour, Trekking, Peak Climbing and Hiking in Nepal requires a discerning choice, prioritizing quality over quantity. With a proliferation of guides and porters in Nepal due to the rise in tour and trekking agencies, it becomes crucial to conduct thorough checks before settling on the best guide and porter for your trek. The government’s recent decree mandating the presence of a guide for all treks in Nepal from April 1, 2023, aims to boost employment in the tourism sector while discouraging uncertified trekking operations.
