Fair porter loads
Weight limits, insurance, proper kit and the same lodging standard as our guides. Non-negotiable, and we'll show you the numbers.
Who we are
A small company, run by the people who walk it.
We're based in Kathmandu, and every guide on our team comes from the region they lead in. That's the whole idea.
Our story
Started by guides, not by an office.
Most trekking companies are booking agents. They sell you a trip and subcontract the walking to whoever is available that week.
We started the other way round — as guides who were tired of watching clients get handed off to strangers at the trailhead. Everyone who leads a Trek Nepal group has walked that route dozens of times, speaks the local language, and knows which lodge has the good stove.
That means we run fewer trips than we could. It also means the person who meets you at the airport is the person who'll be beside you at 5,000 m.
What we hold to
Three things we don't compromise on.
Altitude before schedule
If someone isn't acclimatising, the trip changes. We would rather refund a summit day than carry someone down.
Honest pricing
One number, everything in. No "optional" permit fees appearing at the trailhead, no tipping expectations sprung on you at the end.
The team
Who you'll actually be walking with.
Sample profiles showing the structure — swap in your real guides, their photographs and their certification numbers before this goes live.

How a booking works
From first email to the trailhead.
Tell us what you want
Dates, how long you have, how hard you want to work. We'll come back within a day with a route that fits — or an honest note that a different trek suits you better.
We build the trip
Itinerary, acclimatisation days, permits, internal flights and lodges. One price, everything listed. A deposit secures the permits and the flights; nothing is hidden until you arrive.
You walk it
Met at the airport, briefed in Kathmandu, and on the trail with the same guide from start to finish. We handle the logistics so you can concentrate on putting one foot down after the other.
