Licensed and accountable
Registered with Nepal's Department of Tourism and members of the national trekking associations. Every guide holds a government licence.
Why travel with us
Six promises we keep on every trip, whatever its length or price.
Private, never pooled
You travel only with your own group, at your own pace, on the dates that suit you.
Altitude handled properly
Acclimatisation days are built in, guides log oxygen saturation daily and our Kathmandu office tracks every group.
One clear price
Permits, flights, guides, porters, meals and lodges are in the quoted price. No add-ons appear on the trail.
A fair deal for the crew
Porters carry a capped load, are insured and paid fairly, and get the same gear standard as guides.
Lighter footprint
We carry rubbish out of the mountains, use refillable water and choose locally owned lodges.
Safety on the mountain
Altitude is the real challenge in the Himalaya. This is how we manage it.
- Guides trained in wilderness first aid and altitude illness
- Pulse oximeter readings logged every evening above 3,000 m
- Itineraries that follow the climb-high, sleep-low rule
- Daily check-ins between guides and our Kathmandu office
- Helicopter evacuation coordinated directly with your insurer

Responsible travel
We want the mountains, and the people who live in them, to be better for your visit.
We carry rubbish out of national parks, refill water instead of buying plastic, stay in locally owned teahouses, and pay porters a fair wage with insurance and proper gear. A share of every booking supports school supplies in the villages our crew come from.
