Guides
& Porters
Every
climbing group will have at least 1 lead guide, 1 assistant guide per 4
clients, 1 cook, and 3-4 porters per climber. On the first day of your climb,
ask the guide to introduce you to the entire staff. You should have the same
number of staff at the beginning of the trek and the end of the trek.
Our
guides and porters are paid good standard wages. They are provided healthy
food, good tents, warm sleeping bag, and mountain clothing as needed at no
charge. Sick and injured porters will be treated just as a client would be.
Our
porters carry 20kg of group equipment plus 5kg of their personal gear. Your
porters will stay with you for the entire trek.
