Company Certificates about Gokyo Treks !
Before booking your trekking tours or climbing in Nepal Himalayas with a trekking agency, it’s crucial to understand the importance of trustworthy operators. Knowing the tour company’s certifications is key. Guests should ascertain whether the company is legally registered under the laws of Nepal, including with government authorities and trade travel associations.
It’s essential to be aware that many businesses operate without valid licenses, failing to comply with legal requirements. Furthermore, some trekking and tour agencies unlawfully conduct their operations through personal websites, often managed by individuals or freelancers.
In addition, certain overseas tour operators lead tours and trekking expeditions without the necessary governmental licenses or tax compliance, which poses significant risks to travelers. As a result, booking with an illegal agency, whether in Nepal or abroad, heightens concerns over staff insurance and financial security.
Therefore, to protect yourself, consider the following points before confirming your journey with any trekking or travel agency in the Himalayas.
– Is this business register with the relevant government authorities?
– Is this company listed with authorized travel associations?
– Does the company provide insurance for accidents involving their staff?
– How environmentally conscious is this company?
– Does this firm have its own bank account with a reputable bank?
– Has this trekking agency settled all outstanding back taxes?
