The promise
The promise
Most people come to Pokhara and stop at the lake. We start there. Beyond the boats and the cafes is a country of high passes, quiet ridges, and villages that still run on their own time. We know the way, and we travel it slowly.

The way we travel
Why people come back to us
- 01
Local guides
Our guides grew up in these valleys. They know which village has the better tea, and which ridge is worth the extra hour.
- 02
Our own vehicles
We run and maintain our own tourist vehicles. No tired rentals, no surprises on the gorge roads to Mustang and Manang.
- 03
Small groups
Trips run small by design. You move at your own pace and the mountains stay quiet around you.
- 04
Off the standard trail
We use the routes that skip the queues. Same mountains, fewer people, more of the country in between.
- 05
Built around you
Every itinerary is a starting point. Tell us your days and your pace, and we shape the trip to fit.
Travel by road

Good to know
Questions, answered
When is the best time to visit Pokhara and trek?+
October to November and March to April are the clearest, most reliable windows. Mustang stays dry through the monsoon as it sits in the rain shadow, and the valley itself is good year round.
Do you arrange permits and transport?+
Yes. Trekking permits, restricted-area permits for Upper Mustang, and all transport in our own vehicles are handled for you. You just turn up.
Can you build a custom itinerary?+
Every trip is a starting point. Tell us your days and your pace and we will shape a route to fit, combining valley days, a trek, and a road trip if you like.
How do we pay, and is there a deposit?+
There is no deposit to start a conversation. Once a plan is agreed we take a modest deposit to confirm, with the balance on arrival. We will set this out clearly before you commit.
How big are the groups?+
Small by design, usually two to eight travellers. Private trips for couples, families, or solo travellers are easy to arrange.
