We prioritize your safety with altitude briefings, careful planning, and emergency protocols in place. As a committed eco-tourism company, we reduce waste, use local teahouses, and reinvest in village economies through fair wages and training. This is more than a trek—it’s a cultural exchange and a sustainable adventure with a trusted local team.

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).
