Hire a Guide in Nepal

Hire a Trekking Guide in Nepal

After a new trekking rule from Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), many people might be looking for a guide hire in Nepal, but they are still determining who to hire! You are in the right place now! We provide you guide, porter, and TIMS card for any trekking destinations in the Nepalese Himalayas.

Trekking individually for everyone may not be an obligation, but it can be a desire to travel freely. The Nepalese tourism board is trying to ensure trekkers' safety because a few people are passing their life in high altitudes and have not even found some lost trekkers, whether they died or are still alive.

The trekkers also may think if a guide mandatory rule applies, whether I get a certified guide or not. Of course! The guide we provide government license holder-trained guides for your mountain treks in Nepal.

The Nepal tourism board has just said a guide is mandatory for trekking but has yet to say that trekkers must pay this large amount, so we provide a very reasonable cost. Do you want to hire a guide because of the rule and do not care about getting depth information about Nepal? Or, you want to know well about the region where you are visiting from the guide. The cost also depends on the quality of the guides. There are still some places where you do not need a trekking guide. If you want to travel individually in Nepal, you can still have the choices, but those routes are not famous among the tourists who plan to travel to Nepal and wish to go on the Himalayan trek in Nepal. You rarely meet people who speak English on those trails, so you might need to face many difficulties on those off-the-beaten trekking routes.

How much do we charge for a guide?

One guide can lead a single trekker to a bigger group, so traveling alone with a guide is more expensive than one for many trekkers. It is cheap to share one between many people, but it may be difficult if one from the group gets sick and must return from the high altitudes. So, you must be ready to face those difficulties in the mountain if you are looking for a sharing guide between many trekkers.

We provide a guide to you without taking a hefty profit, so the cost you see here is very reasonable and goes to the guide. How much do we charge you for a guide per day? Check carefully below:

Please do not hesitate to contact us and tell us your requirement earlier.

We also Arrange Porter for the trek in Nepal.

Trekking to high mountain elevations with a backpack can be difficult, and you might not enjoy the trip well. So, hiring a porter to carry your trekking equipment makes walking much more accessible. You can also share a porter between two people, which will be cheaper. We can provide a porter at 16 USD for every mountain trek in Nepal.

Hire a Tour Guide in Nepal

Having a tour guide to visit the heritage sites and cities is optional. But, if you hire a tour guide to visit those heritage sites, you will learn very well about the Nepalese ancient history, religions, culture, ethnic groups, art, and architecture. However, you have a brochure with the site's information on it. But, not each and everything has been written there.

Tour guides are very qualified because if anyone wants a tour guide's license, they have to be graduated. You can also get a local guide inside most heritage sites. They also have a permit from the government, but it is optional to graduate and be guided to particular places. We provide experienced tour guides and private transport for the Kathmandu day tour for just 50 USD per person. If you are looking for a guide to visit anywhere in Nepal, you can contact us, tell us about your desired destination, and ask for a guide.
