Nepal is one of such places in the world that is considered
among the best trekking destinations with vast horizons to witness entirely
everything that the nature has ever gifted to the mankind. Unlike trekking in
other vicinities, the country has it all to mesmerize every traveler with
abundance of nature’s wonders which are indeed barely possible to explore
wholly even if one spends his/her entire life for it. However, being an
enthusiastic and adventurous traveler, you can hardly quench your thirst unless
you discover those shiny Himalayas, greeneries, floral and faunal diversity,
peculiarly set landscapes,Nepalese culture and tradition and more at your
heart's content.
Traveling in a new place away from your homeland and
surroundings, everything will seem new to you which might not assist you to
fully extract out the complete fun factor from your trekking. In such
situation, there stands a good reason why you need someone who can guide you
through and take your eyes to the right places that you shouldn’t miss out
during the trek. What can be more appropriate than hiring so-called
professional guides for that? In fact, hiring them has many advantages and
applicabilities that you may not get while trekking alone in Nepal. Some of the
reasons, or let’s state “good reasons” for why you should hire guides while
trekking in Nepal are briefly pointed out below:
- Most of the
trekking routes of Nepal are obvious to follow. However sometimes, due to
construction of paths over the trekking trails or unavailability of signed
junctions, you might get into problem losing your way. In such case, your
guides can help you with that and be of great help for the proper
navigation and undisturbed trekking itineraries.
- One of the best
advantages of hiring guides is that you do not need to rush yourself for
preparing trekking permits and required bookings as soon as you land on
Kathmandu. The guides will have these all done on your behalf before you
land here. Furthermore, there won’t be anything you should bother about
since overall arrangements are made by them upon your service request and
all you need to do is set yourself all ready for the trek.
- One of the major
problems you probably face being a foreigner in Nepal is language problem.
Since most of the Nepalese people of rural trekking areas aren’t familiar
with the English language, you certainly find frequent language problem
throughout the trek. Hiring professional guides discards all such problems
and easily help you to interact with the local people and get the most of
facts and details about their lifestyle, which is indeed one of the major
components of trekking in Nepal.
- Most of the
foreign trekkers are illusioned by the common misconception that hiring
guides is an expensive business to deal with. In fact, the daily average
rate of best trekking guides is just around 20$-25$ which won’t be a great
deal if you put adventures forth of everything. Thus, hiring guides can be
considered as a part of your daily spare expenses that are relatively just
a minor issue than the great benefits you gain from a greater trekking
adventure.
- Trekking along
with the professional guides also has a great perk that helps you explore
many cultural variations thriving amidst the vast diversities. Unlike solo
trekking, traveling with the guides gives you opportunity to involve
yourself in various cultural and traditional practices and rituals. The
privilege of getting to be a part of remote Nepali culture grants you the
best amphitheatre of viewing Nepal in a brief glimpse.
