Careful with unauthorized so called trekking and
tour companies !!!
We the team of Eco-friendly Trekking would like to remain you that before booking your trip with any trekking and travel agency, it is quite
important to know whether the company has legally registered with the Nepal
government authorities as well as other authorized travel associations of Nepal
or not.
There are many companies running
trekking and tours business with
expired licenses; business that do not observe the legal formalities imposed by
the country acts. Similarly, we have seen many examples of so - called
trekking / tour agencies illegally operated by individuals & freelancers
through their own personal websites.
Additionally, it has been found that some trekking tour operators abroad have
been involved with directly operating tours,
trekking and
expeditions without the required governmental
licenses and without paying legally required
taxes and insurance for trekking crews.
We like to strongly remain you that if you book your trip with an unauthorized agency in Nepal or abroad,
there is a greater risk that problems will occur during the course of your time
in Nepal. In order to protect yourself from these problems, take the following
hints into consideration prior to confirming your journey with any trekking or
travel agency.
• Is the company registered with the proper government authorities?
• Is the company insured against accidents happening to their staff?
• Is the company environmentally conscious?
• Is the company registered with the appropriate authorized travel and trekking
associations?
• Does the Company have its own Bank account
with a reputable bank and bank guarantee?
• Is the Company clear of back taxes?
We at Eco-friendly Trekking offer you secure travel arrangements and are
committed to making your holiday safe and enjoyable.
