ABOUT — THE BRAND
Born in Kathmandu.
Built for the world.
We started with Everest on our doorstep and a simple conviction: places are not interchangeable. Every journey since has been built the same way — the story first, the logistics to serve it.

TRUST
Booked with both eyes open
- Licensed. Government of Nepal Tourism Board licensed operator — and equivalents in every country we operate.
- Guides, not escorts. Wilderness first-aid trained; safety briefings before every adrenaline activity; full eligibility checks.
- Transparent pricing. What is included and excluded is written before you ask. No surprises at the counter.
- Fair cancellation. Full refund 30+ days out; free date changes to 45 days.
- Reachable. +977 1 400 0000 — a human, in your timezone window, from booking to flight home.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
We travel on the places' terms
- Local spend. Tea houses, family kitchens, and village homestays — money stays in the valleys that host you.
- Porter welfare. Insurance, gear, weight limits, and fair wages above industry standard — non-negotiable since day one.
- Conservation fees, paid. Park entries and community levies are in every quotation, not hidden.
- Small groups. Twelve maximum, most departures under eight. The mountain does not need a crowd.
- Cultural respect. Dress codes, photography etiquette, and monastery protocols briefed before arrival, not after a mistake.
