From search to summit
How Get Your TREK Guide works
A clearer way to hire a verified local trekking guide in Nepal. Compare real profiles, request the right trip, pay only after acceptance and keep every message, change and support decision connected to your booking.
For travelers
Book a local trekking guide in six straightforward steps
You stay in control from the first comparison through the final review. The platform keeps availability, payment and communication in one place.
- 01
Find the right local guide
Search by trekking region, language, experience and service. Compare verified profiles for Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang, Dolpo and other Nepal routes.
- 02
Send a detailed booking request
Choose your dates and group size, add your preferred contact method and share what you need. The platform checks the guide’s availability and calculates the trip price.
- 03
Wait for acceptance
The assigned guide or an admin reviews the request. When it is accepted, your dashboard unlocks secure payment. If it is declined, no payment is taken.
- 04
Pay securely through Stripe
Complete Stripe Checkout for the exact accepted total. Your booking moves to paid only after Stripe confirms the payment, and your invoice is delivered by email and remains available in your dashboard.
- 05
Plan together in one conversation
Use the booking conversation to message your guide and admin, share photos or PDFs and keep important decisions, timestamps and read status connected to the trip.
- 06
Complete the trek and leave a real review
The guide marks the trip in progress and later completed. Only the client from a completed booking can publish a review, helping future travelers choose with confidence.
Trust is built into the workflow
More than a guide directory
Get Your TREK Guide is designed around accountable bookings. Verification, Stripe confirmation, admin oversight, structured cases and controlled payouts help protect both the traveler and the guide.
Read our safety approachGuide verification
Identity, selfie and credential checks are reviewed before a guide can accept work.
Protected changes
Paid and high-value guide changes pause for admin review. Price differences, supplemental payments and refunds are recorded.
Controlled payouts
Guide payouts can be released only for completed trips, from the verified guide balance, and never twice for the same booking.
Clear status alerts
Clients receive dashboard alerts for acceptance, payments, guide changes, price adjustments, refunds, trip status and admin messages.
Invoices and records
Clients see charges, adjustments and refunds. Internal commission and guide-share information stays in payout statements.
Structured support
No-show, safety, medical, service mismatch, guide dispute and chargeback cases enter a dedicated admin review queue.
Changes and cancellations
Plans can change. The record should remain clear.
- Guide changes are available to eligible clients at least seven days before departure.
- Paid or high-value guide changes require admin approval.
- You see the old price, new price and difference before approving an increase.
