friends staying any part of the world.
Nepal is absolutely safe country to travel. Our staffs do take every precaution to ensure the
comfort and safety of the trekkers. Before 2006 when Maoist movement was going on,
there was a kind of fear in few trekking destinations. But today they have also come to
peaceful political stream. So there is no more any fear and need to give donation for any
party.

the person you should go to with all problems, concerns and questions. He is well trained in
all aspects of trekking, high altitude medicine, first aid and emergency procedure. He is
