Adventure Begins in the Himalayas

Yes. Every trek we organize is led by an experienced, licensed trekking guide who knows the trails, local culture and mountain conditions well.

Our guides will:

• Lead the route and manage the daily walking pace
• Arrange teahouse or lodge accommodation and meals along the way
• Monitor your health and watch for signs of altitude sickness
• Share insights about local villages, culture, religion and the landscape
• Coordinate with our office in case of weather changes or emergencies

Porters are available on request to carry your main luggage, so you only need to carry a light daypack with water, snacks and a jacket. This makes the trek far more comfortable, especially at higher altitudes. All our staff are fairly paid, properly equipped and insured.

Absolutely! We understand that every traveler is different, so all of our trips can be tailored to suit your schedule, budget and interests.

You can customize:

• Treks – Trip length, route, rest and acclimatization days, and standard of accommodation
• Jungle safaris – Choice of national park, number of nights and activities such as jeep safari, canoeing or jungle walks
• Boating trips – Lake boating in Pokhara or river experiences added to your holiday
• Peak climbing expeditions – Choice of peak, extra training or acclimatization days and equipment support

You can also combine several activities into one holiday, for example a trek followed by a safari and a few relaxing days in Pokhara. Simply share your preferences with us and we’ll design a personalized itinerary and quote.

Booking with us is quick and simple. You can book in any of the following ways:

We aim to reply to all enquiries promptly, usually within 24 hours.

The exact inclusions are listed on each trip page and in your booking confirmation, so you always know what you are paying for.

Packing well makes a big difference to your comfort on the trail. Mountain weather can change quickly, so dressing in layers is key.

Clothing & footwear

• Well-fitting, broken-in trekking shoes or boots
• Moisture-wicking base layers, a fleece and a warm down jacket
• Waterproof and windproof jacket and trousers
• Warm hat, gloves, sun hat and several pairs of trekking socks

Gear

• A comfortable daypack (and a duffel bag if you are using a porter)
• Reusable water bottle and water purification tablets
• Headlamp with spare batteries
• Sleeping bag suitable for the season and altitude
• Trekking poles (recommended for steep descents)

Health & personal items

• Sunscreen, sunglasses and lip balm with SPF
• Basic first-aid kit and any personal medication
• Toiletries, quick-dry towel and hand sanitizer

Don’t worry if you are missing something – most trekking gear can be bought or rented in Pokhara or Kathmandu, and we’ll send you a full packing checklist after booking.

Yes! Our jungle safaris in Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park are family-friendly and a favorite with travelers of all ages.

How we keep your family safe:

• All activities are led by experienced, trained naturalist guides
• Wildlife is observed from a safe distance, following park rules
• Safety briefings are given before every activity
• Activities can be chosen to match your children’s ages and energy levels
• Comfortable, family-suitable lodges close to the park

Popular family activities include jeep safaris, canoe rides, bird watching, visits to local Tharu villages and cultural evening programs. Our guides are happy to adjust the pace and plan so that everyone, from young children to grandparents, enjoys the experience.

Nepal’s national parks are home to an impressive variety of wildlife. During a safari you may see:

• One-horned rhinoceros – Commonly spotted grazing in the grasslands
• Royal Bengal tiger – Rare and elusive, so a sighting is a special experience
• Asian elephants – Both wild herds and in the surrounding areas
• Crocodiles – Mugger crocodiles and the rare gharial along the rivers
• Deer – Spotted deer, barking deer, sambar and hog deer
• Birds – Hundreds of species, including kingfishers, hornbills, peafowl and migratory birds
• Others – Monkeys, wild boar, sloth bears and, in Bardia, river dolphins if you are lucky

Animal sightings are never guaranteed, as these are wild animals in their natural habitat. However, our guides know the best areas and times of day to maximize your chances, and they always ensure safe and responsible wildlife viewing that does not disturb the animals.

Travel insurance is strongly recommended for all trekking, climbing and adventure activities, and for high-altitude treks and peak climbing it is essential.

Your policy should cover:

• Trekking or climbing up to the maximum altitude of your trip
• Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
• Emergency evacuation, including helicopter rescue
• Trip cancellation, interruption and delays
• Loss or theft of baggage and personal belongings

In remote mountain areas, helicopter rescue can be very costly without insurance. Before buying a policy, please check that it clearly includes adventure activities at the altitude you will reach. We may ask for your insurance details before departure so we can act quickly in case of an emergency.

You don’t need to worry about getting to the trailhead – transportation from your hotel or the nearest travel hub to the trek starting point is included in all our packages.

Depending on your trek, this may include:

• Private car or jeep transfers from Pokhara or Kathmandu
• Tourist bus transfers on popular routes
• Domestic flights where required (for example, to Lukla for the Everest region), as listed in your itinerary

Our team will pick you up from your hotel at the agreed time, and your guide will usually travel with you. Return transport from the end of the trek is also arranged. Full pick-up times and travel details will be shared during your pre-trek briefing.

Yes! Beginners are very welcome. Many of our guests are first-time trekkers, and with the right preparation and support, most people with reasonable fitness can complete a trek successfully.

How we support beginners:

• Recommending suitable treks based on your fitness and available time
• Well-planned itineraries with a comfortable daily walking pace
• Proper acclimatization days to reduce the risk of altitude sickness
• Experienced guides who check on your health and comfort every day
• Porters to carry heavy luggage so you can walk with a light daypack

For peak climbing, previous trekking experience is helpful but not always required for easier trekking peaks. Our climbing guides provide basic training in using crampons, ropes and ice axes before the summit attempt.

We suggest some light preparation before your trip, such as regular walking, hiking or cardio exercise for a few weeks, to make the experience more enjoyable.

We recommend booking at least 1–2 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the peak trekking seasons:

• Spring (March–May) – Warm weather and rhododendrons in bloom
• Autumn (September–November) – Clear skies and the best mountain views

Why book early?

• Better availability of experienced guides and porters
• Easier booking of domestic flights, such as Lukla flights
• More choice of accommodation in busy trekking areas
• More time to prepare, train and arrange your gear and insurance

For off-season travel or short trips, last-minute bookings are often possible. Just contact us with your dates and we’ll check availability for you.

Yes! We offer special discounts for:

• Families traveling together
• Groups of friends or travel clubs
• Corporate bookings, team-building trips and company retreats
• Schools, colleges and educational groups

Traveling as a group lowers shared costs such as guides, transport and permits handling, and we pass these savings on to you. The discount depends on the group size, trip type and travel dates.

Contact us with the number of travelers, your preferred trip and dates, and we’ll prepare a custom quote tailored to your group.
