Guides 'offer safety and security' on trekking holidays to Nepal

Exploring the Himalayas on trekking holidays to Nepal with a guide offers a "measure of safety".

This is according to columnist Kraig Becker, who highlighted the positives of enlisting the help of a guide in an article for AOL Travel's Gadling website.

A guide is essential for a traveller's first-ever long distance trek, while more experienced hikers can still benefit from their knowledge and expertise.

Mr Becker recently went on a guided tour of the Himalayas and said it helped him to make the most of his time in the region.

"They also know the best routes to take through the mountains and can provide information on the surrounding peaks, the villages you pass through and various other sites that you'll come across along the way," he remarked.

The Adventure Company offers numerous trekking holidays to Nepal which allow travellers to enjoy a range of experiences.

On the Himalayan Adventure Family Holiday, travellers spend time in the Himalayas, Kathmandu and the Chitwan National Park.
