We are a professional for Guides and Porters who have worked in the
Himalaya for many years. During our experience in the Himalaya we have
discovered that often the correct information about Nepal, its history,
culture and other important details are lacking in the Travel Industry.
Many visitors who come to Nepal have indicated this to us through our
regular surveys. Our main vision, aside from providing excellent services
in trekking, is to provide our clients with as much accurate information
about the people of Nepal, Religion, Culture and the country itself
as possible. Our Guides are experienced and are highly skilled in all
aspects of Tourism and trekking. All of our Guides have a Government
License Holder, which you will see displayed in our office. Training
undertaken by each Guide addresses such issues as, First Aid, Eco Trekking
and Tourism, Altitude/Mountain Sickness and how to deal with it, and
Rescue Protocol. The Guides employed by the Skyline Trekking Company
are people with a proven track record of honesty and personal integrity.
Our Guides speak excellent English as well as other languages including
Italy, German, Spanish, French, Japanese and others. All of our Staff
have a vast knowledge of local culture, Hinduism, Buddhism and are keen
to share their knowledge with our clients. They will also share with
you less well known facts about our country, Nepal.
Our Guide will invite you to a special briefing each evening about your
program for the next days activities. This will include the likely distance
to be traveled, points of interest to look out for along the way, and
all other relevant details. A great time to ask questions and discuss
your day too.
We provide a basic Medical Kit to each Guide which includes items commonly
needed during trekking. Some of these items are Bandages, Analgesics
(painkillers) and Antiseptic etc.
Our Guides are committed to trekking in a way that does no harm to the
local environment. For instance, they do not create shortcuts by trampling
through areas with no trail, and are careful to leave all areas visited
in the same or better condition as they were found.
They will manage all the practical aspects of your trek, including ensuring
your comfort and privacy for your night’s accommodation at the end of
your day. You will find the high standard of our Guides is consistent,
and is always considerate to all your needs.
