With a commitment to the protection of the environment, the company gives priority to safety and comfort in adventure and also, in an attempt to conserve and cause less destruction to the local environment, the on-field team carries their own fuel (kerosene or LPG) rather than using firewood during their trips.

The Sirdars, cooks and Sherpa crew belonging to the company are given intensive and comprehensive training program for the trek every year so that they will be accustomed with the tricks and trades of trekking in the mountains and Himalayas and will be able to properly assist the clients and travelers during the trip. This approach has, thus, paid up as the crew out on the field has been successful to maintain high professional standards of the company.

Some of the services and travel options offered by the company include adventure tour, culture tour, fixed departures, trekking, peak climbing, bungy jumping, white water rafting, jungle safari, mountain biking, bird watching, etc. For further details, log on to www.gohimalaya.com
