This is our most popular expedition package. It is similar
to our
Inclusive Expedition Package and includes all services except wages, food, equipment &
insurance for your
porters & liaison
officer.
This option helps you save money by directly paying your porters for
which we will give you all the necessary assistance.
Please note, the wages of your porters (which keep fluctuating) are
the
most expensive part
of your expedition. Despite your meticulous calculation, it is
extremely difficult for you & us to calculate the exact weight of
your expedition prior to your arrival in Pakistan which will make it
difficult for us to calculate the
exact
number of porters. So if we quote you for our package including
porters, we'll have to calculate at a higher rate to absorb the
unforeseen costs in lieu of varying numbers of porters & their
fluctuating wages which will, obviously, increase your expedition's
budget.
So we suggest you pay your porters directly for which we'll provide you every possible assistance for
hiring them, covering their insurance & providing them food &
personal equipment. Our guides, cooks & sardar will also give you
every assistance for handling your porters without any problems.
Based on a
mutually agreed itinerary, services and terms under this option,
we’ll provide you a Most Economical
Expedition Package which will include all the
following services.
