Our promise to you.
While we may APPEAR to be more expensive than some of our competitors. sometimes it is necessary to study the big picture. Many of our competitors charge for services as extras, or "local payments". Something that we avoid entirely. We go the extra mile to ensure you have the best possible experience whilst you are in Nepal. As a westerner myself, I understand better the requirements and expectations of our western clients and our treks reflect this understanding. For instance, we meet and greet at the airport on your arrival and we take you to a hotel that I have personally chosen. A hotel where I know you will feel comfortable and happy with the room and the service you will receive. Next our guides. Qualified and dedicated to providing the best possible service to our clients. Our guide will take you to places that you would otherwise not see and experience. We go off the beaten track and show you places like the Sherpa House Museum for example Also, we like to vary our route to be a little different from the norm too. We take pride in being different from the rest and our clients appreciate this. We will take you to see the "Pyramid". The high altitude research facility where the effects of altitude on the human body are studied. Of course, we also do all the usual things that our competitors do, but I understand the fact that we have to be better in order to prosper in a market that is now ridiculously competitive. Local Kathmandu agencies will promise you anything to get your business, unfortunately, cutting prices to the bone means that something has to give, usually service and unfortunately, all too often the wages of the staff and in particular the porters. Our staff are well paid and we make sure that our insurance will ensure they are well looked after in case of accident or the like. Yes, we may appear to be a little more expensive than our competitors, but I am proud of our service and will not compromise on that. You are of course free to choose any company, but please be careful. In this fiercely competitive arena, it is all too easy to make a bad choice and spend a long time regretting a spoilt vacation.
Thank you for considering my company and whomever you choose, have a great time in Nepal.
