5. Training procedure
The training session started with the Introduction of the speaker with the participant. Participants have to use their colleague name, age and other relevant information to introduce themselves. This was done to make participants more familiar with their colleagues.

The participants were divided into 4 different groups. Group discussion was conducted by Binod with three different questions.
1. What are services?
2.  What are the questions often asked by guests?
3.  What are the issues and obligations of guides?

It was aimed at analyzing the participants' existing knowledge of the subject matter and how much they already know about some of the topics which are to be discussed in the training workshop.  Later Guide and operation manager added their perspective on how to improvised the services

Conclusion: 

It was a very informative workshop. Drivers share their experience and issues without any obligation.  This workshop provides in- depth information to driver’s about how to provide professional services to guests. Same time it also helps the organization understand driver mentality.  Aarya village should organize workshops with the other stakeholders to provide effective services.
