Trekking Guides Become Mandatory For All Foreign Tourists
Gone are the days of independent trekking in Nepal. Government officials have announced that, beginning in September, all tourists who wish to trek in the country, famed for its Himalayan peaks, must be accompanied by at least one government-approved porter or guide.
Groups tackling Nepal's rugged back country were already required to have the assistance of a guide, but the new ruling from the Ministry of Home Affairs will force solo adventurers to seek assistance as well.
The Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal welcomed the decision, which it said will ensure the safety of tourists and control illegal trekking businesses out of Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Importance of Trekking Guide in Nepal...
Normally how travellers perceive Trekking guide in Nepal is like just to show the way in the mountain which is really not true instead I heartily request all blog reader to develop broad aspect regarding the guide.
What I think is a guide a guide who show the way in high altitude mountain not only that he should behave as a care taker, a waiter in guest house and a close friend. Which mean when you get sick in the mountain it is a big deal to face it alone at that time guide are like blessing as they are there to take care twenty four hours a day. For example you face a problem with high altitude and need to descend down in mid night it is almost impossible and not safe to descend alone at that time we guide are there. And regarding the food we can enter inside the kitchen and observe the raw material whether they are fresh or not, well washed or not and can instruct cook to do it fast if you are hungry, to make it fresh and hygienic. We can help to reserve the room with good view also as we used to have good relation to hotel operator in trail and all the time if available we can request them to give the key of this room number, that room number and so on. In some place like while crossing the high passes there is danger of crevasse but we can identify where crevasse is and avoid route from there. It is not an easy job to figure out the crevasse but our knowledge and experience help us a lot. And in some place we might get stuck in one place because of heavy snowfall overnight or landslide at such time also we can fix a rope to cross those sections. We have knowledge of rock climbing, first aid kit; can predict weather for tomorrow and other factor. Only the government authorised license holder guide like us had took a month long training and posses ability to handle the entire thing patiently in high altitude mountain so please be aware of unauthorised guide.
Our team will dedicate to provide authorised trekking guide in Nepal for the any region trekking in Nepal . Most experience , Dedicated , well know about the himalaya from the team of our guide for the trek in Nepal would be a best option.
Cost of Trekking Guide in Nepal...
The cost of trekking guide in Nepal is varied depending upon the several factors. Although there is slight difference in salary of guide on several places of Nepal I like to give you a general pricing standard of guide on per day basis. Before listing the price I like to make you clear about the factor which determines the cost of trekking guide. Normally the first factor is license, if guide posses a license from Nepal government his rate is higher as he is qualified although some might offer a cheaper price who does not have a license and it is very risky to travel with those because any time government officer can ask for license in check post as if he cannot show his license to officer then it might be legal issue. Another factor is extremeness of trail comparatively guide cost for Annapurna Base Camp is cheaper in compare to Everest Base Camp because of higher altitude range of Everest. Another factor determining the cost of guide is range of expensiveness in trekking region as Everest region is more expensive than other trail so cost of guide is higher. These are the major factors which determine the cost.

Why organisation (Company) is necessary..?
Freelance trekking guide in Nepal is ok however they cannot be fully trusted as companies offering their services. As Trekking agencies in Nepal are government authorised, they had obtain license for foreign money exchange, issue permits, permission from tourism board of Nepal to operate activities related with tourism. With help of company you can obtain group trekker TIMS card which is really fruitful as they covered insurance of guide porter also. In case of emergency those slips or receipts which are obtained from companies transaction can be use as legal proofs. Not only this local Nepalese trekking companies in form your embassy, your travel insurance provider about trek you had start as at any time so in case of emergency some quick action can be taken. So mainly local trekking companies Nepal are necessary for legal paper, to issue group TIMS card, to issue special restricted area trekking permits, trustworthy crew members, and co-operation in case of emergency in mountain and off course reliable services.
Do we have to book in advance with payments..?
Well there might be several criteria which can decide whether you need to pay advance or not. Let's talk with some examples, let us suppose you are travelling to Nepal from Tibet, now you need pickup service from Tibet border to Kathmandu Nepal. In this case if you have not paid advance then transport companies might refuse to send a vehicle in Tibet border as it is 118 Km far at least they need some guaranty for your arrival in border. Another example if you are arriving from International Airport then in such case just forwarding flight schedule will be ok as it will not be a risk to send vehicle for transportation just up to International Airport. And if you are arriving late on some day want to start trek next morning then you need to pay advance as companies need to issue necessary trekking permits, necessary flight ticket booking specially for case of Everest Trekking as Lukla Flight ticket is one of the tough things to be managed. And sometime if it is a peak season then you need to send certain amount advance as they need to hold booking so they might be seeking for some advance for safety. So basically depending upon condition you might or might not need to pay money before arriving to Nepal but you definitely need to book the trip on advance specially for those with less time span.
