What is security like during trekking?
Security for our clients is always a foremost priority for us. All our guides and other support crew are carefully chosen for your trips. Our guides hold licenses issued by the Nepal Government. They are very honest and reliable. But we would also advise you to take care of your own personal belongings. If you are on ‘camping treks’ please do not leave your bags unattended at any time for your own safety. Take your main bag inside the tent once you reach the campsite. At night, all bags and belongings are kept in the middle of the tent. Your guide assigns a Sherpa on a rotation basis to guard the campsite throughout the night. If you are on a ‘Tea house or GAP trek’ arrangement, you will be sleeping in local teahouses. You need to take sensible precautions yourself at all times. Never leave your baggage unattended and keep your lodge room locked when you go out.

EBC & Island Peak
Booked the trip just 3 weeks prior to flying and Krishna was very accommodating and provided quick responses to my queries. Everything during the trip was pretty smooth, drivers were polite and arrived on time. My guides and porter was really helpful during the trek, itinerary were pretty flexible too since I was going solo. Acclimatisation days during the ascend was really helpful, didn’t experience much altitude sickness although trekking did get more challenging as the altitude increased. Travelled during off peak season, July is their monsoon period so there aren’t many tourist around. Did get some good views along the way, weather is clear most of the time in the morning & the clouds set in during the afternoons & rains most of the times in the evening. As it was off peak season, many places were closed as well. However, I enjoyed the peace & tranquility during the trek without many people around and thought it was a good trade off for the weather. Signed up for Island Peak and was an unsuccessful attempt due to the weather & safety reasons. And won’t recommend others for a technical ascend during the off peak season. Had to add extra days during the trip incase of bad weather. Fortunately for me, the weather did not affect me & Krishna helped me to manage the remaining days left in Kathmandu to tour around the area and my accommodations. My trip to Nepal was a pleasant one so am really thankful for the experience!
