First of all, if you do not know what is trekking then you should read this discussion: What is Trekking? Nepal is perhaps the most attractive place for trekking and trekking brings a lot of foreign tourists and foreign currency in the Nepalese economy. A lot of female mountain climbers visit Nepal every year for trekking and they need guides and porters.

In Wilderness, female climbers feel more comfortable if they have female guides and female porters. Anna S. Sussman has written an excellent feature about this: Female Guides Gain Ground in Nepal Mountains. There she has told the story of three sisters in Nepal who took the risk of opening a training center for women so that they can become trekking guides. This is an amazing tale of three sisters and they have revolutionized a male dominated industry. That is why, I would highly recommend you to read the feature of Anna S. Sussman just by visiting the following link:
