A: Acclimatization is key! Our itineraries include gradual ascents, rest days, and expert guidance. We’ll provide a pre-trek checklist covering fitness tips, packing essentials (e.g., thermal layers, hydration tablets), and altitude sickness prevention. Pro tip: Start cardio training 2-3 months prior!

A: Yes, but we’ve got you covered! For Nepal treks, we handle TIMS and national park permits. Bhutan requires a daily tariff (included in your package), and Tibet needs a China Group Visa—our team manages all paperwork. Just pack your passport and a smile!

A: We’re Nepal-born adventurers, not outsiders! Since 2008, we’ve:

• Partnered with local Sherpa guides and community homestays.
• Pioneered eco-friendly treks (e.g., plastic-free expeditions, carbon offset programs).
• Curated rare experiences, like private monastery blessings or farm-to-table dinners with Himalayan families.
For us, it’s about authenticity, not just checklists.

Travel with us, and leave only footprints!

• Small-group tours with like-minded explorers.
• Private guides for personalized pacing.
• Women-only trekking groups with female guides.
You’re never truly alone in the Himalayas!
