Trekking with a guide or a porter is a very wise decision. Due to their invaluable local knowledge, they can assist you in case of an accident or emergency problem. They know where the best places to stay and eat and show you the hidden treasures along the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significant part while hiring a guide is to look for a local one. Your Nepali guide will be everything to you along the trek. You might remember your guide or porter as part of your trekking Annapurna experience, so look for the registered guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registered Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registered guides are normally trained and well experienced with good speaking English. Find one before you depart to Pokhara. Normally, if you are booking a trip through a local agency, you get a chance to meet your guide in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of Trekking with Guide<\/a>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By taking a registered guide with you, you can set your pace as you planned. You can stay where you want and know lots of things about the people, culture, and place.  So, make sure you are trekking with an experienced, registered, and accredited Annapurna base camp trek guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disadvantage of Trekking without Guide<\/a>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tourists who visit Nepal without a Guide and porters may go missing and never come back. It happens because trekking trails have no signs and very difficult to find out the main trekking paths. You just can hire Guide, porters, or porter cum Guide for successful trekking in the unknown region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
