Friendly Staff The Sherpas of Nepal have traditionally been the best mountain guides and porters. The treks are managed by professionally trained Sherpa guide, cooks and camp helpers. Most of them are from high Sherpa-land who have been in trekking and mountaineering profession from generations. Many of our famous Sherpa Mountain guides have done summit over 8,000 m peaks and have experiences in high mountain passes. They are well trained about the high altitude sickness, safety measures and environmental aspects.

Hygienic food & water Food on trek is plentiful, healthy, wholesome and varied prepared by cooks trained in modern cooking hygiene. Special care is taken to serve well-boiled and purified drinking water everyday on trail to ensure that our trekkers stay healthy and enjoy their outing fully. Our cooks are famous for their ability to produce varied and tasty meals in adverse conditions.

Small Group Size - In order to keep group sizes small we limit our group departure treks to a maximum of 15 participants though normally most groups operate with between four to eight clients.

Best Camping Equipment All our treks are outfitted with the highest quality equipment available. We use comfortable dome or ‘A’ frame sleeping tents. The treks are equipped with a dining tent furnished with lanterns, tables, camp chairs and foam mattress.

Environmental Concern We give pre-trek briefing to all our clients regarding the environmental and cultural issues. We use kerosene on all our treks to avoid burning firewood. We recycle non-biodegradable waste and use centralized toilet tents. Our staffs are trained in the correct disposal of waste. All biodegradable waste is burned and buried before breaking camp every morning. Non-degradable wastes (tin cans, bottles, plastic, etc.) are carried back to Kathmandu for proper dispose. Care is also taken to fill in toilet holes after use.
