Hire a Guide and/or Porter - make it Cheap!
We can provide English speaking Guides and porters for your budget tea house treks in the Everest, Annapurna and Langtang regions. This gives you control over what you spend on food and accommodation on a daily basis so making it a fairly cheap option whilst having a Guide to look after you, show you the way and explain things regarding the local mountains and culture.
The fixed day price rate includes the Guide salary, their food and their accommodation. The Guide transportation is extra as quoted ( the same applies to Porters ). If you want the guide to organise air or bus tickets and do things in Kathmandu pre-departure then it will cost you another day or two in his/her salary depending on what you need doing. In addition to the Guide price you need to pay your National Park entry, food and accomodation and transport fees as well.
Contact Us in advance or phone us in our Kathmandu office: + 977 9751002867.
Note: These Guide/Porter prices are the same if you are 1 person or 4 people ( 4 Max ) - so if you are 1 you pay the price per day below - if you are 4 you can divide it by 4 - Easy and Cheap! All prices in quoted in Euros.
