You are on a trekking holiday, you are in Nepal for an adventure with gaining knowledge of Everest, and the Sherpa history. First, you have to be careful about choosing a guide. So, the question is how to know who is the best guide.

First things first, Before starting a trek confirm that he is a licensed holder guide from the government of Nepal. Do not go for the freelancing guides and always take a guide from a registered company cause if something happens bad then the company will be responsible for all behavior of the guide.  

The second thing is an inquiry about the experience and knowledge of the guide with the company. And it is always the best idea to hire a local guide cause he knows more than the other guides.

Look up the Best Company (not a big company)

Choosing a company is a big mess. There are thousands of trekking companies in Nepal. Then the big questions stand, how do choose the best company, and how to know that they are the best company for trekking?

Firstly, Go for the reviews on TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, etc. Check all the reviews. Some people believe that trekking with a big company will be much better than a smaller one. They are right but the truth when there is a huge amount of guests they cannot follow one by one. So It’s better to trek with a small company who have specialized in some regions. For instance, Life Himalaya Trekking only operates in an Everest Region following every trekker throughout the whole trek. So we are specialists in Everest Trekking with a Helicopter return trek to Kathmandu from Gorakshep.  

So, before choosing a company go for reviews, and legal documents (are those up to date ? ). If you are going to Everest, go for the Everest specialist and go for only those who operate only in the Everest region.
