Nepal is a safe country to trek provided the basic rules are observed. When with us most contingencies are handled by agency staff. However, one could get lost or hurt and have no one to ask for help when trekking alone. Therefore trekkers going alone should either trek with us or hire reliable guides if trekking in smaller groups. Women guides are available for women trekkers who do not feel comfortable trekking alone with male guides and porters.
The best way to avoid risk while trekking is through planning, playing by the rules and realizing human limitation. If you do plan on going alone you should have sound mountain experience and be well advised on trail and weather conditions. Also you must register at various check points along the way to help record your progress with the relevant authorities.
When trekking with our company, in case of misfortune a short detailed message will be disphed to a reliable source. After which the individual will be immediately rescued. If communication facilities are unavailable, Normal first aid principle will be implemented by our highly trained guides till help arrives.

It was a great trip when we were in Nepal last July. The team member at pathfinder was so supportive and knowledgeable on the things what they been doing, they are very professional on their job. Overall services were great and it was worth of the price what we were paying, however they were cheaper than other agency in Kathmandu. They are fully government registered so no need to worry about anything while book the trip with them. If there is any one would like to make trip to Nepal, Bhutan and other destination nearby, you are highly recommended to use this agency. read more
