How many guides and staff are typically assigned to each group?

For trekking groups:
Staffing depends on group size and the difficulty of the trek.

  • Small groups: Usually supported by one licensed trekking guide, one cook, and one assistant, along with pack animals (ponies, mules, or yaks) and their handlers.
  • Larger groups: We assign one lead guide plus one or more assistant guides, depending on group size. There is typically one main cook, supported by additional assistants as needed.

 

For cultural touring groups:

  • Small Group Journeys: Normally one guide and one driver per vehicle.
  • Larger private groups: We increase staffing with additional guides and drivers as required.

Our vehicles range from SUVs seating 1–3 guests, small vans (Toyota Hiace or Hyundai H1) for 3–6 guests, larger high-roof vans (Hiace High Roof) for up to 8 guests, and Coaster buses accommodating 12 or 15 guests.

For groups of 9–10 travelers or more, we usually assign more than one guide to ensure personalized attention, smooth coordination, and a higher level of service throughout the journey.
