Personalized treks with Raj, Trek Guide Extraordinaire

   

A welcome sight for any tourist embarking on a trek in Nepal, India or Tibet with Responsible Adventures is the 6 foot 3 inch frame of the owner, Raj Tamang, who stands head and shoulders above his countrymen – as does his trekking service.

Responsible Adventures’ personalized Everest Base Camp Trek or Annapurna Base Camp Trek, among other itineraries, offers a challenging and enjoyable trekking holiday in Nepal led by Raj himself. The emphasis is on "responsible tourism", as the company name suggests. All of Raj’s staff, from the leader and guides to the porters, consider your comfort, safety and enjoyment to be their main priorities. Whether you opt for a “grass roots” trekking package or a luxury trek, you, the trekker become the guest of honour on the trip.

A significant feature of Responsible Adventures’ service is its exceptional staff. Raj’s leaders and guides are skilled and experienced. All of the staff are trained in Wilderness First Aid and only those who excel are accepted. All of the leaders and guides are educated, conversant in English, and have an in-depth knowledge of the local culture, history and geography. They have the ability to strike up an easy rapport with both trekkers and locals alike. This is reflected in the excellent service Responsible Adventures receives from the staff in the hotels, restaurants and teahouses, whether it is the challenging Everest Base Camp Trek or the more family friendly Safari Treks in India.

Raj can ensure the quality of his staff because of his integrity as their employer. All his staff consider it a privilege to work for Responsible Adventures because they are better equipped, well trained, fairly paid and they are treated with dignity and respect. Raj deliberately pays his staff, including the porters, more than the going rate so they can work towards becoming financially independent – buying land or oxen. From this they can create a livelihood and a future and their children can go to school. Responsible Adventures is significantly contributing to responsible tourism where the benefits from tourism are going back into local communities, unlike some of his competitors.

Raj’s integrity naturally extends to the pricing of his package deals. He offers the best value-for-money compared with other cheap treks in Nepal. His prices remain competitive and there are no hidden extra costs. In addition to the grass roots cheap treks to Nepal and the luxury package deals, Raj offers treks for families with children to appropriate altitudes. Small children can be carried by the accompanying porters in padded baskets. Raj will also use his local experience to plan customized treks in Nepal and the Himalayas for large groups and individuals.

The Nepal trekking service offered through Responsible Adventures stands head and shoulders above its rivals because Raj has the local knowledge, experience and expertise to make his treks extra special. As a leader he unobtrusively evaluates the capabilities of his trekkers and the pace is adjusted accordingly. All his guides walk with the trekkers so everyone is included and rapport established – another unique feature. Raj’s reliability can be depended upon. He will ensure your safe arrival and departure from any local airport in the Himalayas and can help organize your onward travel.

Whilst on a luxury trekking holiday in Nepal, Raj’s chefs provide culinary touches even in the midst of the wilderness – croutons with tomato soup, oregano in the pasta sauce, brie as a pre-dinner snack. Chinese, French, Thai, Italian and Malaysian cuisines, in addition to local fare, find their way onto the innovative menu. But whatever the deal, the reason why Responsible Adventures gets so many trekkers returning for more are the nice extra touches you’ll experience – real coffee at the start of a day, a celebratory glass of wine, a birthday cake in a remote setting, music and entertainment in the evening. Through Responsible Adventures, trekking in Nepal's remote, beautiful and breathtaking landscapes and meeting fascinating people can be accessible for you.
