Alert with illegal agencies and Individual 

First of all, be aware to book any trekking or trips with illegal trekking/ travel agencies and individuals.  It is quite important to know whether the company has legally registered with the Nepal government as well as the travel association of Nepal.   Be mindful! Is the company a genuine company or registered to government authorities with whom you are booking?

This is most important to know for our valued Nepal visitors that there are many companies running the business without observing legal formalities imposed by the country act and even not registered with the concerned office authority, etc. Likewise, it has been reported that some companies have been running a business whose licenses have already expired and not noticed and punished in charge of the unlawful act. In the same manner, we have seen many examples of so-called trekking / touring agencies operated by individuals & freelancers illegally, and some on commission basis with other agencies by creating their own personal website or by contacting personally.

Basically, it is not allowed by the country act; however, it has been found in abroad that some tour operators also have been involved in directly operating tours and trekking without any co-operation with local agents and without paying any tax for the government of a concerned country for doing so.

In this way, if one has booked his / her travel, trekking trip with such illegally operated trekking or Travel Company is subject to encounter great risk or aggravates during his / her course of the journey. In order to be secured in such obligations, take the following hints into consideration prior to confirming your journey with any trekking & travel agency.

·         Has the company registered with the proper government authorities?

·         Has the company insured staff against accidents?

·         Is the company environmentally conscious?

·         Is the company cleared of back taxes?

·         Is the company associated with appropriate travel and trekking associations?
