Can I book a porter for my trek?

Yes, you can book a porter for your trek, and it is highly recommended if you have not hiked at high altitude before. Carrying extra weight get increasingly difficult as the air gets thinner the higher you go. Once you ‘join' the trek you can add extra services that are associated with that trek including a porter. If you want to add a porter after you have paid, you can go to your trek page or the payment page once you are signed in and click the ‘+ service' button at the top of the page. The guide will arrange the porter on your behalf, usually someone they trust and have worked with before.
