Trek Leader
Trekking in the Himalayas and leading a trek in the Himalayas are two completely different things. Most people come up with the idea that they will be able to enjoy the trek the same way they enjoyed it as trekkers, which is actually not true.
Earlier, when you were a trekker, all your needs for food, accommodation, transportation, bag offloading, and other things were taken care of by the team. As a trek leader, you will be the one who leads the trekkers and takes care of their necessities and those of your team. This job demands complete attention and maturity. Only a person who can take responsibility for these lives can be a good trek leader.
In order to join Himalaya Shelter as a Trek Leader, there are certain qualities and qualifications that you have to have.
- Advanced mountaineering Course (AMC) or Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) from a reputed institute with a distinction grade
- Good command over Hindi and English
- Polite and calm nature
- Problem-solving abilities
- Leadership quality
Please note that before we can recognize you as a Trek Leader, you will have to work as an Assistant Trek Leader for at least 6 months. During this period, the senior trek leaders, along with our company director, will train you and observe your work. Once they feel that you fulfill all the criteria to be a trek leader, you will be promoted to trek leader, where you will be allowed to lead the trek.
