A Travel Journal–Style Insight for Trekkers Visiting the Himalayas
Every year, thousands of trekkers step into the Himalayas, chasing mountains, culture, and the unmistakable Nepali warmth. But behind every successful trek, there’s one essential decision travelers often overlook:
Choosing a legally registered and authorized trekking company.
Nepal’s trekking industry is beautiful but also extremely delicate — high altitudes, restricted areas, changing weather, porter welfare, helicopter emergencies… everything requires strict regulation and responsibility.
This is where Adventure Walkway truly stands apart.
We are fully registered under the Government of Nepal and proudly affiliated with:
✔ TAAN (Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal)
✔ NTB (Nepal Tourism Board)
✔ NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association)
✔ Ministry of Tourism, Government of Nepal
These registrations aren’t just logos on paper — they are the backbone of your safety, your legal protection, and your overall Himalayan experience.
1. Being a Government-Registered Trekking Company: What It Really Means
When you choose Adventure Walkway, you’re choosing a company that has passed all national tourism regulations and legal requirements set by the Government of Nepal.
We hold:
Authorization from Nepal Rastra Bank for foreign payments
This ensures:
✔ Your payments are secure
✔ Your trip is operated legally
✔ You are protected by Nepal’s tourism laws
✔ The company is accountable and traceable
✔ Transparent financial handling
In a country where many informal or unlicensed operators exist, this matters more than many travelers realize.
2. Our TAAN Membership – Your First Layer of Protection
TAAN is Nepal’s most respected association for trekking companies.
Being under TAAN means we operate ethically and responsibly.
Through TAAN, we follow:
✔ Fair porter treatment & insurance
✔ Use of trained & certified guides
✔ Standardized trekking safety protocols
✔ Community welfare contributions
✔ Trail maintenance and tourism responsibility
For travelers, it means you’re walking with a company that is credible, ethical, and accountable.
3. NTB – The National Authority Guiding Your Entire Trip
Being under the Nepal Tourism Board ensures that Adventure Walkway operates in accordance with national tourism quality standards.
NTB ensures that:
✔ Your permits are authentic and legally issued
✔ Itineraries follow safe & approved routes
✔ Tourism guidelines are updated
✔ Crisis management protocols exist
✔ Companies follow proper documentation and safety rules
NTB registration is one of the strongest signals that a trekking company is official and trustworthy.
4. Being Under NMA – A Must for High-Altitude & Restricted Zones
For regions like:
Manaslu
Tsum Valley
Nar Phu Valley
Mera Peak
Island Peak
Lobuche Peak
Other alpine & technical areas
Adventure Walkway’s official NMA membership proves that:
✔ Our mountain guides are trained & certified
✔ We can legally obtain climbing and peak permits
✔ We follow high-altitude safety rules
✔ We meet professional mountain-tourism standards
This membership is essential for climbing and restricted treks.
5. Why Travelers Must Avoid Unregistered Operators
Many unregistered companies:
✘ Cannot issue legal trekking permits
✘ Have no insurance for guides & porters
✘ Mismanage altitude itineraries
✘ Cannot arrange emergency evacuations
✘ Are not accountable financially
This can lead to:
❌ Permit denial
❌ Emergency risks
❌ Lost money
❌ No legal protection
❌ Unsafe trekking routes
Saving a few dollars with an unauthorized operator can risk your entire Himalaya experience.

✔ Legally issued permits
