Good question. These days it seems that every man and his brother are running an adventure tour company, so why should you choose us? We were hoping you'd ask that. Who are we?We are a small, personalized firm specializing in treks, tours and expedition in the Himalayan region. We have more than 15 years of exprience in adventure travels, we have grown up; learning mistakes and comments from our valuable clients. We're based in Kathmandu, but also operate in Bhutan, Tibet and India too. When we first started out on this journey, we were the only company to take a stand against the exploitation of porters and guides that was rife in the industry at the time (and to a large degree, still is). And as a result of this, most of our staff from the beginning have stayed with us all this time. Our leaders, Sherpas, cooks and porters work as a well-balanced team. We recognize them as the pillars of the company; we respect them, provide them insurance and equipment, guarantee them work, and pay them well. Our loyal, committed and experienced staff-base gives us the edge over our competition. In places like Nepal, money alone doesn't buy good service; only respect and trust, earned over years of working together, are what buy you a good experience. The upshot of this? You get to reap the benefits of the hard work we have put in over the years. Environmental Sensitivity
Social CommitmentsAs Nepalese we love our country deeply, but at the same time we're not blind to its problems. And so we're committed to helping Nepal along the road to peace and prosperity in our own way. Part of this is our support for Child Environment Nepal (CEN). CEN is a non-government, non-profit organization committed to educating and caring for Nepali children orphaned by the Nepali civil war. Each year we contribute 10% of our annual profit to the organisation.
For more information on this inspiring organization or to find out how you can help, please visit at www.cennepal.org.np Client CareWe're well aware that there is only one reason why we are still in business after all this time; you. As such your well-being and satisfaction are our top priority. When you book with us we take care of everything. From carefully designing itineraries for proper acclimatization to upholding the most scrupulous sanitary standards in food preparation. Our guides are trained for remote emergencies and are well versed in local politics, culture and customs. We offer up-to-date pre-trip information, use only the best lodges, customize itineraries to suit your interests and cater to any dietary requirements. We have a fully staffed office in Kathmandu taking care of domestic flight ticketing, transfers, permits and visas. A member of our team will welcome you at the Tribhuvan International Airport on your arrival in Katmandu and see to all your needs. We worry about these things, so you don't have to. Competitively PricedThe packages we have offer unbeatable value for money. But you don't have to take our word on it; we actually recommend our clients shop around to other trekking companies to try to find a similar package at a better price. Unlike international operators, being based in Nepal allows us to keep our overheads to a minimum, so we can offer the same facilities as those provided by a Western company at literally a fraction of the price.
