Best Tour Company

From the moment we arrived, Rabi greeted us with genuine Nepalese hospitality. We used Rabi and his team for all three of our adventures during our time in Nepal (Tibet, Tengboche Trek, and a day hike). Rabi, his driver's, guides, and the rest of his team also reflect the company's exceptional care to their customers. Our guide Dill, was an amazing companion to have on the trail. We each felt so touched by his kindness, and he truly made our experience an unforgettable one. - Mio Lainchbury - Canada - May 2019 More reviews >

Information - Notes

Water : You can buy bottled drinking water thorughout the trek. Hot water for drinking will cost as much as tea. If you are planning to filter or purify our own water, carry two water bottles. Most purifier takes time to disolve and work.

Personal expenses : You will need about USD 150 - 200 for the personal expenses during the trek. Even though USD could be easily changed throughout the trek, Nepalese Rupees would be much easier. You will need this amount for bottled water, drinks, beverages, chocolates and toiletries. The amount will also cover standard tipping for guide and poter.

Insurance : Insurance of guide and porter are covered by the compnay. However clients have to have their insurance. Sprained ankle, altitude sickness, food poisoning, respiratory infections will make it difficult to trek back for days. Helocopter is the only way to get trekkers out of the mountain which might be very costly. So it is better to have right insurance covering helicopter evacuation from the altitiude of 3,800 m.

Tips : Please note, service charges in hotel and restaurants are already included and paid. Tipping guide and porter is the way of appreciating the job they did. The standard tipping is USD 10 / day for guide and USD 6 / day for porter. The amount is not per person but is shared by the group.
