: Hello, : you're surely better if you contact some agents in Kathmandu directly by email in advance. : About Project Himalaya, I heard similar voices too, but hae no direct experience with them. : If you contact upon arrive in Kathmandu, it might be that you have to take what you get and be anyhow stuck a few days more than you have planned to. : It's in fact pretty difficult for local agents to get in order all in one afternoon, flights, guide maybe a cook (depending on your trip), get together foodstuff and equipement and lastly flights. : Specially in October - November, it can (not must) be irritating to get only flights after some time, just because the days you want to go, there are somehow not enough seats.. : Also be aware, that mostly guides which are not so good are free in high season, the better ones are already booked in advance. : Your trekking peak trip can be organized only through registered "Liasion office" = agency registered with government and the Nepal Mountaineering Association. : My advise: organize in advance your trip and make clear questions, you might also write your Embassy or Consulate to ask, if those agencies you have contacted have somehow a negative registration with them. That often gives you a clear idea who drop immediately. : There are plenty of good agencies as well as no-idea-what-they-do ones. : How they reply, gives you also an idea about them. : I did some peaks in Nepal myself bu do not want to make reccomedations. : : Anyone : : : Hello.. : : Yes, another serious question - : : Is it easy enough to organise a trek including a trekking peak or two on arrival in KTM (i.e. within a day or two of heading off on the trek?). Or is it more logical to sort things out from home before i leave? I dont know how long it would take to get guide/porter/equipment ready. : : I intend on walking in the Everest region, to Gokyo, EBC, and do one or two of the surrounding trekking peaks such as Island. I have decided to go with a local agency as opposed to a Western one. : : Any advice would be appreciated. : : Thanks, Clare.
