Experience always matters:

When it comes to scaling the peaks, dangers are plenty. Although the mountains seem serene and gentle from a distance, the weather there is treacherous. The terrain can be downright unforgiving and to have someone accompanying you, who has been tested by the mountains time and again and have come victorious through and through, can be the greatest of advantages. Our guides, Sherpas and team leaders have years and years of experience in mountaineering, and understand the whims of Himalayas, as much as it’s humanly possible. Over the years, they have been trained to coordinate in a hostile terrain and take immediate actions. It is something a recently established, youth startups cannot offer. Less demanding adventures and activities also comes with their risk. But our staffs are always well prepared.

Environmental Commitments:
Tourism itself has its downsides pertaining to society and environment. The piling of corpses and garbage in the mountainous region is not certainly unheard of. We, are however highly cautious of the fact and exercise caution regarding the matter. At times, we have been in a forefront of conducting campaigns done to protect the pristine environment near the trekking and expedition area. We are a supporter of sustainable tourism and believe that the present generation should utilize the resources without compromising the ability of coming generations to do the same. Of course, that doesn’t affect our ability to fulfill our guest’s need in any way.

 Support to Social Causes:

We have been a great supporter of local businesses, countrymen and service providers who are essential cogs in the machine called Nepali Tourism Industry. The Sherpas and potters, who run the risk of encountering death on regular basis, mostly hail from a downtrodden family. The geographical features, that onlookers find so charming is not actually bountiful. Seven Summit treks has been providing chances to such family with poor economic condition so as to improve the life standard of the people. In addition to that, our company continues to advance the lives of people in the rural area: the people whose lives have been affected by tourism in some way. During the earthquake of 2015, Seven Summit Treks distributed reliefs to earthquake affected tourism areas so that they can get back onto their feet.
