Trekking Arrangements | |
There are different approaches to trekking in Nepal and the choices depend on time available, budget, experience, and personal preferences. Some travel agencies abroad, in collaboration with Nepalese trekking agencies, book trekking packages for Nepal in advance. Trekkers who are alone or who do not have much time can book with these overseas agencies. One can also contact trekking agencies by mail or contact them personally upon arrival in Nepal. There are quite a few government-recognized trekking agencies which have professional staff to handle trekking activities. A fully-equipped trek primarily consists of essential logistical arrangements including porters, guides, cooks, food, tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, transport to and from the trekking starting point, flight arrangements, permits, staff insurance, and so on. These agents also provide a choice of itineraries and necessary information on trekking, health care, etc. The cost of an all inclusive trek ranges from about US$25 - US$80 per person per day depending upon the quality of service, number of days, and number of persons in the package. This style of trekking is very expensive compared to backpacking. There are still many areas where a backpacking type of trek can be undertaken by an individual. |
