Why Choose a Porter Cum Guide?
A porter cum guide offers two services in one person. They assist with carrying part of your luggage while also helping with navigation and basic trekking guidance.
This option is ideal for:
- Solo trekkers
- Couples
- Budget travelers
- Small groups
- Short trekking itineraries
A porter guide generally carries around 15–20 kg while providing support throughout your trek.
If you require a dedicated trekking guide with separate porters, we can also arrange that according to your group size.
You may also find our Guide Porter On Hire service useful for additional trekking destinations throughout Nepal.
Professional, Insured, and Well-Trained Staff
One major advantage of booking through Himalaya View Treks is that all our staff are properly insured and professionally trained.
Every guide and porter guide receives:
- Accident insurance
- Emergency rescue coverage
- Appropriate trekking clothing
- Mountain safety training

Many trekkers try to hire freelance porters directly in Pokhara or along the trekking trail. Although this may appear less expensive initially, many independent porters do not carry insurance or receive professional safety training.
Hiring through Himalaya View Treks ensures your trekking staff are protected and fully prepared for mountain conditions.
