Welcome to the Himalayan Paradise;
Namaste! A warm welcome to trekkers from all over the world. We invite you to discover the land of the Himalayas - a true paradise for those who love high-altitude adventure, untouched nature, and the serene mountain environment.
About Moderate Tented Camping Treks:
Nepal offers some of the most spectacular moderate tented camping treks in the Himalayan region. These treks take place at high elevations, cross multiple mountain passes, and travel through extremely remote areas where no tea houses or lodges are available.
Some trekking routes require more than three weeks to complete and pass through pristine landscapes far from modern settlements. These treks are ideal for trekkers seeking adventure, isolation, and a deep connection with nature.
For remote Himalayan regions, we organize fully supported tented camping treks. We provide everything required for a safe and comfortable journey, including:
• Spacious trekking tents and dining tents
• Nutritious meals and sufficient food supplies
• Experienced trekking guide, cook, Sherpa helpers, and porters
• Kitchen equipment, camping gear, and safety support
Our goal is to let you enjoy the trek stress-free, while successfully crossing high mountain passes — a true achievement for any adventure lover.
These trekking routes usually start and end in different locations, offering diverse scenery and maximum mountain views. To transport luggage and supplies, we use mules or yaks where possible, otherwise experienced human porters.
How to Reach Nepal:
By Air (Flight): Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is connected with many international destinations through direct and connecting flights.
By Road: You can also enter Nepal from the Indian or Tibetan border. Public transport or private vehicles can be arranged as required.
Tourist Visa for Nepal: All the foreign nationals, other than Indian citizens, are required to obtain a Tourist Visa to enter Nepal by flight or by road.
Pre-Arranged Visa: We suggest applying for an online tourist visa through the nearest Nepalese Embassy or Consular office in your home or neighbouring country.
Visa on Arrival: Alternatively, you can obtain a Visa on Arrival at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport or at any official land entry point from the Indian or Tibetan border.
For Visa on Arrival, you will need:
• A completed visa application form (which you can fill up at immigration desk)
• A recent passport-size photograph.
• Your passport, valid for a minimum of six months.
• The required visa fees (cash is often required).
Trekking Permits: For the foreigner trekkers need 'Trekking Permits' for remote areas, the permit's fees up to the trekking areas and duration of the trekking period.

Local Government Fees: Any region-specific local government fees will be managed and arranged by your trekking guide on the spot.
High-Altitude Sickness & Safety:Altitude sickness may occur above 3,000 meters due to lower oxygen levels. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, and sleep disturbance.
If symptoms appear:
• Stop ascending immediately
• Descend to a lower altitude
• Rest, hydrate, and drink hot fluids
If symptoms worsen, our guide will arrange emergency helicopter rescue from Kathmandu or Pokhara.
Travel Insurance & Rescue: Unfortunate illness or injury can happen to anyone, anywhere. In the remote mountain regions where we trek, your safety is paramount. Because ground transport to the nearest clinic can be slow, we rely on rapid aerial response.
• Helicopter Rescue from 'nearest place' Kathmandu, Lukla or Pokhara offers the fastest rescue service but is extremely expensive.
• Action Required: We strongly advise you to issue a comprehensive travel insurance policy from your home country or in Kathmandu. Your policy must specifically cover emergency helicopter evacuation and medical expenses at high altitudes (up to 6,000m. depending on your route).
Pro Tip: Please Always carry a digital and printed copy of your insurance certificate and the 24-hour emergency contact number for your provider.
Banking and Cash Facilities:
Currency Exchange: In major cities (like Kathmandu and Pokhara), there are numerous banks and authorized money changers where you can exchange foreign currency into Nepalese Rupees (NPR).
ATM Services: ATMs are widely available in urban areas and accept most international debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.).
Withdrawal Limits: Most major bank ATMs allow a maximum withdrawal of NPR 35,000 per transaction. Please note that you may need to perform multiple transactions if you require more cash, subject to your own bank's daily limit.
Due to the effects of global warming, mountain weather has become increasingly unpredictable. However, the Himalayan seasons generally follow these patterns:
Spring (March – May) Spectacular clear views and stable weather with excellent visibility. Above 3,000m, the landscape comes alive with blooming rhododendrons and vibrant wildflowers. This is one of the most popular times for trekking.
Summer / Monsoon (June – August) Characterized by high rainfall and lush greenery. Generally not recommended for trekking. Heavy rains lead to poor visibility, leeches, landslides, and rising river levels that can wash out trails or block motor roads.
Autumn (September – November) Widely considered the best time to trek. You can expect uninterrupted, breathtaking views of the high Himalayas. The temperatures are perfect - cool enough for hiking but pleasant during the day.
Winter (December – February) Expect crisp, clean air and excellent visibility at lower elevations.Temperatures drop significantly, especially at night and in the early morning. Heavy snowfall often blocks high passes, making adventure trekking difficult or impossible. Proper high-altitude winter gear is essential.

We offer from cozy, standard guesthouses to five-star luxury hotels. Most city hotels provide comfortable rooms with modern amenities, including high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour running hot/cold water.
