This site connects local trekking guides with people who would like to trek in Nepal and hire a guide directly. There are hundreds of trekking companies, but they typically charge much more per day than if you hired your own local guide.

While you can go to the trail head and maybe find a guide, but you will not know if they are experienced, reliable, or properly equipped.

If you want to trek the Annapurna Circle, the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Everest Base Camp, or one of the many high passes in the Himalayas, you can count on these guides to help you.

In most cases the guides can meet you at the airport and arrange transportation to your hotel and the trail head. They will hire reliable porters as well. They can help customize itineraries and make reservations at multiple hotels provide guidance for your trip.

This provides a great opportunity for students and others to trek at a price they can afford.

Enjoy your time with these trusted local guides.
