Why book a school or university trek with us

    Safety is the highest priority on all our Everest treks and we operate in compliance with BS8848, the British Standard for adventurous activities abroad for young people. We maintain detailed risk assessments in line with best international health and safety practices, our guides are all trained in first aid and we have well rehearsed evacuation procedures in case of emergency.
  • For each trip we provide a bespoke detailed trip briefing document in pdf form with all the information students and parents need to plan their trip. This includes a detailed trip itinerary, equipment checklists, health advice and training advice.
  • We do not aspire to be the cheapest- in Nepal cheap means you stay in poor hotels and tea-houses and your guides and porters are paid minimal wages and are not properly cared for. We aim to provide great value which means you get a good price, a really enjoyable trek and we look after our guides and porters well.
  • We have full insurance for all public liability risks with a Lloyds backed insurer and are a fully bonded member of ABTA so that all monies paid to us are secure.
  • All of the locations, accommodation and activities that we offer have been assessed for risk by a member of our senior management team. These formal appraisals have been made to ensure that you can be safe in the knowledge that every possible precaution has been taken to ensure your group's safety and protection at all times. Our risk assessments are updated annually and reviewed with our insurers
  • Any group leader for a school or university will need to complete their own risk assessment form. We can provide advice and help in completing this assessment for a trek to Everest base camp
  • Our reputation for delivering high quality, safe and enjoyable treks is second to none. Check out our testimonials to see what clients say.
  • Private Himalaya operate to the highest standards of responsible travel. We are members of IPPG, which works to ensure all porters are treated well and we support the Leave no Trace rules so that the Himalaya is not spoiled for future trekkers.
