Trekking Companies
Individual budget trekking companies can't be recommended because the quality of their service can vary so much from year to year (or trip to trip). The following more expensive outfits have reputations for maintaining high standards. Ama Dablam Trekking , Kamal Pokhari (tel 415372, fax 416029). Scheduled and custom treks - mostly teahouse routes, plus a few trips to more remote areas and trekking peaks. Above the Clouds Trekking , Thamel North (tel 416909; atct@wlink.com.np). Scheduled and custom teahouse treks, remote-area treks (eg, Jaljale Himal), expeditions. Asian Trekking , Bhagwan Bahal (tel 424249; asianadv@mos.com.np). A wide range of scheduled treks on standard and remote routes, expedition support treks, also rafting. Affiliated with Asian Airlines Helicopters, so flights are no problem.

Guiding and Trekking Expedition Services (GATES) , Gairidhara (tel 410417; gates@dendi.mos.com.np). Specializes in short, custom treks - especially good for treks with children.
