  We are beyond excited to inform you that MKPS has been regularly training and educating the member porters on crucial things to adhere to in their careers. Porters are the backbone of the trekking world as they aid the clients to clear their bucket lists by summiting the mountain. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is for your porter to be well trained. It ensures that porters have the right level of skills through training, continued assessment and evaluation. Skills can be developed and honed by giving the porters confidence in their work and reminding them how important they are in the mountain trekking industry. WHAT THE TRAINING IS ABOUT -Communication skills Porters are trained on proper communication skills, appropriate and polite sponses to the client’s questions and enquiries. -Teamwork Porters are also taught the importance of cooperation among themselves and the benefits of maintaining peaceful team work to them and their clients. This makes trekking easier and
