Who we are
A government-licensed travel company in Uttardhoka, Lazimpat — Nepal treks, heritage tours, jungle safaris and pilgrimages run by our own guides, and holiday packages and ticketing to fifteen countries beyond.
Our position
Nepal is the country we operate ourselves. Every trek and tour on this site is a route our own licensed guides walk, on permits we file, sleeping in lodges we have used for years — not a product bought in from someone else and resold.
Alongside that we plan holidays further afield: India, China, Tibet, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Cambodia, Dubai, Baku, Egypt and Europe. Those are packaged and ticketed from Lazimpat with operators we have worked with for years, and we say plainly which is which rather than dressing a bought-in package up as our own.
That narrowness is the whole proposition. It means we know which lodge at Dingboche has the warm dining room, which week the rhododendron actually flowers above Ghandruk, and which morning the Jomsom flight will not go. It means when a landslide closes the road to Syabrubesi we have a driver who knows the alternative, not an email address in another country.
Either way it is handled from one office: the permits, the TIMS cards, the seats, the guide, the porter, the teahouse, the hotel abroad. One planner, one point of contact, start to finish. If it happens on your trip, someone here booked it.
Why we travel
Permits, TIMS cards, domestic flights, guides and porters — arranged by one team in Lazimpat, for trails we walk ourselves.
Responsible travel
Not a policy page. These are the things we can be held to, and the ones a guest can check.
Guides and porters are paid the Nepal Mountaineering Instructors’ rate, insured for rescue and medical care, and given kit, lodging and food on every trip.
One porter per two trekkers, and no porter carries more than 20 kg. If your kit weighs more than that, we add a porter rather than a load.
We book beds and food in the villages you walk through, direct with the families who own the lodges, rather than through a Kathmandu middleman.
We stopped offering elephant-back safaris in 2019 and will not book one for you. Jeep and canoe reach the same parts of Chitwan.
Guides carry a pulse oximeter on high routes and have the authority to turn a group around. Nobody at this company has ever been asked to push on.
On the Langtang route every lodge we use is owned by a family who survived the 2015 landslide and rebuilt there. It is the most direct way a trekking rupee reaches them.
