Highlights
We're a local Nepal-based operator—not a reseller. Your guide is Nepali, experienced, and knows these mountains intimately. This is a private trek with no fixed group, so we adjust the pace to suit you. Two acclimatization days are built in because safety matters more than speed. The teahouses and porters we work with are people we've known for years. You're walking with someone from Nepal who understands the terrain, culture, and how to keep you safe—not a distant company sending you on a tour.

About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
