Why you might consider trekking with me instead of a large trekking company?
Mountain Footprints Trekking and Expeditions is owned and operated by Pemba Bhote and Tashi Gurung. I commit my time to be with you during your trek. Other companies will arrange a guide for you, and depending on their schedules, you may not always receive the best-qualified guide.
I have many years of experience as a trekking guide and tour operator and I feel that our relationship, as a guide/trekker begins with our initial contacts. The emails we exchange in preparation for your trip allows us to learn about one another prior to your arrival in Nepal. When you arrive in Nepal we will already know something about each other so that we will not begin our adventure together as complete strangers.
Since we will directly interact in the planning process you will have a clear understanding about your payment. I am very much conscious of your budget (am sure you are too). I understand how important it is that the money you spend on your holiday is 100 % financially protected for your confidence and peace of mind. Since I work on my own, your hard earned cash, which can be better used for your trekking expenses and it guarantees that guide, porters and other supporting staff will be paid fairly. I am not a large company so the service I provide is quite friendly and private. I am more flexible; I will hike at your pace and give more personal service.
Me and my supporting friends are covered by insurance for the trek and I always provide them enough clothing/equipment during the trek which is a major issue in some certain areas. If you've trekked before you will know how hard porters have to work to earn a living. Yet many guides and porters are shockingly UNDERPAID by some trekking agents.
