Guide
cum Climbing Sherpa :
Any local staff to assist clients to climb the peak (as
a support staff) is called climbing sherpa. The term Sherpa
comes from ethnic group of Nepal who lives in Mountains.
Many of the climbing sherpas come from this Sherpa community
but not all of them. So, it doesn't mean that your climbing
Sherpa is always a Sherpa by caste.
Our climbing guides are not chosen just to hold the job
but to function as professional. They are trained in handling
mountaineering expeditions by Nepal Mountaineering Association.
We don't send climbing guides who has not climbed the mountain
you are heading in. Our guides are educated, responsible
and speak fluent English. They are trained in first aid
and different aspects of quality tourism.

Cook and Food:
Approach trek to the trekking peaks are completed by camping
treks. In camping treks we need to have our own supply of
food, equipment and support staff. We send highly trained
cook to feed you healthy food. We send dry foods and fresh
seasonal vegetables and fruits for trekking. While we trek
through villages we buy fresh vegetables and fruits from
the villagers to support their economy and at same time
to use fresh foods for the clients.
To help our cook, their will be some Kitchen
boys and spare staff to carry kerosene and kitchen dishes.

Porters /
Livestock carriers:
To transport all the expedition supplies, we use porters
from trekking starting point to base camp and back. Porter
job is considered as one of the very difficult jobs but
many Nepalese live with this job. Concern on porters' safety
has been increased in these days and many trekking companies
take good care of the porters they employ. In the case of
Tamang Expeditions, we provide excellent equipment to our
porters to protect themselves from the cold. Porters are
well paid and are insured for safety. We never overload
them and they don't have to worry about where to sleep at
night. We provide porter's Tent along with our other equipment.
In possible places, we transport the supply
by Yaks but it's difficult in some cases. We do insure of
the livestock we employ.
