Legal Documents:
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?
