Its idea, revolutionist during time, was to provide tents like Sherpa s, to guide it and make cook. This made Nepal and the Himalayas available at a broad community and was an immediate success. Nowadays the formula is well established; the groups travel by the hills, going during five to six hours each day with all their equipment carried by luggage handlers or yaks; meals of good quality are provided with the hot bags of bed and the comfortable tents; the trekker carries a personal package with the camera, the clothing of day and the snacks.
