Before booking your trip with any trekking and
travel agency, it is quite important to know whether
the company has legally registered with the Nepal
government authorities as well as other authorized
travel associations of Nepal.
It is important to be aware that there are many
companies running business with expired licenses;
business that do not observe the legal formalities
imposed by the country act. In the same manner, we
have seen many examples of so - called trekking /
touring agencies illegally operated by individuals &
freelancers through their own personal websites.
Additionally, it has been found that some tour
operators abroad have been involved with directly
operating tours and trekking expeditions without the
required governmental licenses and without paying
the appropriate taxes.
Finally, if you book your trip with an unauthorized
agency in Nepal or abroad, there is a greater risk
that problems will occur during the course of your
time in Nepal. In order to protect yourself from
these problems, take the following hints into
consideration prior to confirming your journey with
any trekking or travel agency.
• Is the company registered with the proper
government authorities?
• Is the company insured against accidents happening
to their staff?
• Is the company environmentally conscious?
• Is the company registered with the appropriate
authorized travel associations?
• Does the Company have its own Bank account with a
reputable bank?
• Is the Company clear of back taxes?
We at Unique Path offer you secure travel
arrangements and are committed to making your
holiday safe and enjoyable.
