How to book holiday trip in Nepal?
On many occasions, the Government of Nepal and the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners' tour operators, NGOs, and INGOs have been directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has also been found that many individuals, freelance guides, and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information.
