Hire a Guide for an Adventure Trek

A knowledgeable guide can make your trekking experience more enriching and safe. Our experienced guides are not only skilled navigators but also passionate storytellers who share insights about the local culture, history, and flora and fauna. Whether you are tackling the rugged trails of Kanchenjunga or the serene paths of the Annapurna region, hiring a guide ensures you make the most of your journey.

Hire a Female Guide:

For solo female travelers or those who feel more comfortable with a female companion, hiring a female guide is a great option. At Himalayan Adventure International Treks, we are proud to support and promote female guides who are professionally trained and highly experienced. They provide excellent guidance while fostering an environment of safety and camaraderie.

Preventing and Managing AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness)

Acclimatize Properly: Plan rest days at higher altitudes.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water.
Ascend Gradually: Follow the “climb high, sleep low” principle.
Medication: Carry Diamox (consult your doctor before use).

If symptoms worsen, descend immediately. Our guides are trained to monitor your health and respond to emergencies.

Emergency Rescue Services

In case of severe AMS or other emergencies, helicopter evacuations can be arranged. Ensure your travel insurance covers high-altitude trekking and helicopter rescues. Himalayan Adventure International Treks coordinates with reliable rescue services to ensure your safety.
