With our team of dedicated professionals we are committed to offer travel services of highest quality, making your visit a memorable and happy experience.

Reasons to travel with us

1. Great trips
It starts from the very beginning. We help you choose the finest trip. We make the itineraries very carefully with a right balance between organised activities and free time. We leave nothing to chances but give attention to every detail. Our friendly and experienced Sherpa guides will give you warm and personalised services. We are flexible, we listen to you………..We choose clean, quiet and well run hotel and restaurants. Like a great meal prepared by a master chef, our trips are simply superb.

2. Great value
Are we expensive? No. We always quote you very reasonable price, you yourself will feel so. Our prices are a great value for the quality of trips we provide.

3. A local company
With a big travel company at home you are like a commodity sold to the local company of your holiday destination for a certain profit. With us you are a guest and we will wrap you with our traditional hospitality as soon as you land at our place.

The money you pay to a local company goes to the hand of needy local people and supports the local economy whereas most of the money paid to your home giants remains with themselves. Also travelling with a local company is half cheaper than with your home company.
b. As a local company we are naturally more familiar with our region. We always try to avoid touristy and superficial side of life in our trips. For the same reason we keep free times in our itineraries (of course we consult you) to encourage you to have real experiences and encounters with things real.

4. Safety
Safety is an important issue in high altitude trekking. With our experience over the years, we make our trekking itineraries with enough time for altitude acclimatisation. We use experienced guides and carry good quality equipments. We are ready for prompt rescue by helicopters incase emergency arises.

We provide our trekking crew with proper clothing and insure for them

5. Responsible travel
Travelling with us means travelling the eco friendly way. It is the duty of all of us to preserve this fragile natural heritage of Himalaya. Travelling with us you also contribute to the education of underprivileged children of this poor country. With other like minded people we are supporting for food and education of 150 poor children in Pokhara. See www.helplesschildren.com.np for detail. You can personally visit and support the children while you are in Nepal. It may give you great inner satisfaction that a little money from your holiday supports the education of a child.
