Safety, Our No. 1 Priority
Your safety is our top priority. Our travel itineraries are created after consulting destination experts and local guides familiar with the ever-changing conditions of the high mountain environments. All our mountain guides are experienced and have the required license. They have undergone intensive training in wilderness rescue, crisis management, and first aid. We hand-pick your guide and ensure that all the safety and security measures are the major priority during your trip. We have set aside the requisite number of acclimatization days and contingency days for treks and climbing expeditions in case of emergencies. To provide a quality experience, personalized service, and ensure a safe environment, we keep our guide and assistant guides to client ratios small. During trips, our experienced mountain guides communicate regularly with our Operation Manager. Suppose an unfortunate incident occurs while trekking or climbing, our team is on standby to organize a rapid medical evacuation. The gear and equipment that we use during expeditions are too of the highest quality.
Responsible Tourism
We support ‘sustainable tourism.’ We use hotels that are serious about reducing their impact on the environment. While trekking, we urge our clients and to be careful about disposing of their waste. To minimize plastic waste in the mountains, we provide our trekking clients with a reusable water bottle. We also dissuade our clients from using soaps or detergents while washing in the river. We make it a point to patronize local businesses that are environmentally friendly. Our company is an active member and supporter of KEEP (Kathmandu Environmental Education Project), an NGO that runs projects aimed at community development, education, and environment-friendly practices. The NGO also provides training and education to porters and guides.
Highly Experienced Guides
You will be guided around by experienced local guides who have first-hand knowledge of the area you are visiting and give you personalized tips and advice about the local ‘must-sees’ and ‘must-visit that are not listed in guide books. All our trekking and climbing guides have 10+ years of experience. They have the required government license and work full-time for us. They speak excellent English and are trained in wilderness first aid and crisis management. Our peak climbing guides have climbed Mount Everest and have other 8000 meter peaks. They have the best contacts in the mountains and know how to respond during emergencies.

We take you places without straining your budget or compromising on the quality of services. The inclusions in our tours have been incorporated to give you the right balance of adventure and quality. We collaborate with our contacts and try to give you the best value for your money without cutting corners. We let you know up-front what is included and excluded in your tour or trek.
