Are you looking for trekking porter or porter cum guide in Nepal?
Who is Porter?? Porter is a kind of helper who carries your luggage during trek and mountaineering. They are kind, helpful and friendly. Our porters are trustworthy and professional to their job. Porter always walks and stay with you during your trekking in Himalaya. They speak very little amount of English but understand your interests and dreams to take you at high mountain Area like base camp of Everest, Annapurna or up to your final destination.
Do you think this is best Idea to trek without porter???? Is it best idea for your safe and comfortable Trek?? DO YOU NEED TO HIRE AT LEAST A STRONG/EXPERIENCED PORTER?? Yes, it is necessary and best Idea to hire a strong & Experienced Porter for your comfortable and safe way of trek.
Of course, I would like to highly recommend anyone to hire at least a porter which is not much expensive BUT very useful and helpful whenever and wherever you need support or any kind of help. When you are doing trekking alone without support of Guide & Porter and unfortunately if you became sick or can’t carry your backpack at middle trail of trek or serious ill due to any reasons (food, water or lack of proper Acclimatization), porter or guide can help you. In this Case, a Porter can help you as your best trekking partner. When you are doing trekking with help/support of Porter, you will benefited by following: if you get sick and can’t walk, porter can help you to get you at nearest clinic or medical centre or help to find helicopter rescue if it is serious and friendly helpful trek partner in mountain region. More important, he will carry your all backpack and make your trek lighter and easier to achieve your dreams to reach high Himalayan area.
During my 25 years of trekking Experience in Nepal, I have seen many individual trekkers without guide and porter. I have also seen some trekker’s trapped at middle of way due to sick and few of them can die due to lack of proper Acclimatization. Some stupid trekkers want to complete 14 days trek in 10 days and they will kill by serious AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Some strong enough trekkers can’t trek a head due to his/her heavy backpack/luggage. Some trekkers suffered due to food stuffs and water. If you have at least porter with you, he can guide you to sleep at good lodges where meals are hygienic and beds are clean. Anyway, there are certainly many advantages to take porter or porter cum guide when you are doing trekking in unknown trekking Areas of Nepal Himalaya.
