How we work
Every trip we sell is operated by us, not resold to a third party. The guide who meets you at the airport is on our payroll, carries a government licence and has walked your route before.
Porters are insured, weight-limited to 25 kg and equipped by us for altitude. We follow International Porter Protection Group standards on every departure, including private trips.

Fourteen full-time staff in Kathmandu and forty guides across the regions.
