There are 1470 trekking companies in Nepal, but only 550 are registered with the Nepal government. The rest of the companies are not, and it’s your own RISK to book through these companies. Many travelers look for good deals online and book through them for cheap rates. However, they will pay the prices in the end and make complaints to the government of Nepal or social media. We recommend going through your local US and Nepal-registered governments to both countries and looking for deals from those companies. If you need help with recommendations or help booking trips to Nepal, don’t hesitate to contact us directly at 206-324-9000.
