The mountain guide’s responsibility to clients is not only to guide them safely through the mountains. Before the trip starts, they give personal advice to the client and support in selecting the right trip. Guides have a basic knowledge of Himalaya’s geology, fauna and flora and know the mountain’s history.
SO, a mountain trip becomes a life experience for the client. The guide does not only lead the way, they coach providing advice and motivation. They help clients to improve technically and physically. Often the mountain guide accompanies clients for many years all over the world. This is the basis for friendships that last for a lifetime.
Safety and security is a major issue in mountaineering. Humans are looking for enjoy and adventure in the mountains. In mountaineering as in life there is a certain remaining risk that cannot be eliminated. Mountain guides are professionally trained to reduce this risk. Their high level knowledge is focused on safety and their enough experience helps the mountain guide make the right decisions in life threading situations.
