From 16-19 February 2025, Satori Adventures (P) Ltd., a leading hiking and adventure company in Nepal, successfully conducted general mountain safety training for their climbing Sherpa staff. The training was conducted in the pavilion in Kathmandu and organized in partnership with the National Mountaineering Guide Association of Nepal (NNMGA).
A step to ensure the safety of the Himalayas
The Himalayas are known for their breathtaking beauty, but they also present serious challenges to climbers and hikers. As one of Nepal’s most important hiking companies, Satori Adventures has long been committed to providing an excellent hiking experience, and also ensures that their climbing Sherpa team has the best training to deal with emergencies and keep the mountains safe.
More than 30 climbing Shaba people at Satori Adventures participated in this basic training course to improve their first aid skills and deepen their understanding of mountain safety protocols. This course provides insight into all aspects of mountain safety, from dealing with highly disease to managing injuries from remote trails.
Comprehensive training of NNMGA
The training is professionally led by the Nepal National Mountaineering Guide Association (NNMGA), an organization known for its professional training in the field of mountain guidance and safety. First aid and general mountain safety courses provide important skills for responding to medical emergencies in high altitude settings. NNMGA’s extensive expertise ensures the careful preparation of the Climbing Sherpa Association as a unique challenge they may face during their expeditions.
The training covers various important aspects, such as:
- First aid in remote areas: How to manage first aid in the distance with professional medical help.
- High disease management: Recognize the symptoms of a high disease and understand how to manage it in a high-altitude environment.
- Damage Response: How to deal with common injuries such as cracks, sprains and cutting to ensure that climbers and hikers can be cared for until they can receive proper treatment.
