I was wondering to visit Kailash Mountain and planned for more than 4 years to make it happen. I contact one of my friend who had been already in Nepal so as per his suggestion i choose Trekking Team Group to organize my trip to Kailash and i am very satisfied by chosing this company. Shree support and issued needy permits while i was busy exploring Kathmandu for couple of days. Tour was very organized and guide provided sufficient facts and knowledge about the places. I love to trek so there was two option for Kailash trip so i prefer to go via Simikot which i really loved and enjoyed it. I am very excited for next trip in Nepal and again i am going to choose same company definitely.

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.
IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.
rekking Team Groups is one of the main supporters of Ambe Foundation, a non-political and non-profit social organization.
