A short letter from the trail
Why every itinerary at Nepal Trekking Co. is built by guides who grew up on the route.
My grandfather walked the Khumbu as a porter in 1956. My father guided his first commercial trek in 1979. I started Nepal Trekking Co. in 2009 with one promise: never sell a route I have not crossed on my own boots, with my own lungs, in my own seasons.
Fourteen years later, that promise still sets the rules. When you write to us about Everest Base Camp, the reply comes from a guide who has summited Kala Patthar more than two hundred times. When you ask about the Annapurna Circuit, your briefing is led from Thamel by someone who crossed the Thorung La pass as a teenager and has returned every spring since. We do not run treks outside Nepal, and we do not run any route we cannot personally walk you through.
Fair-priced, fully supported, Sherpa-led from the first email to summit morning. That is the whole company.

The route catalogue · 47 trails across Nepal
Forty‑seven trails, one guiding principle: pick your region, and we will match the route to your appetite for altitude and solitude.
Three route families cover every Himalayan profile we operate. Featured below are the four treks international trekkers ask for most often — from Everest Base Camp to a quiet valley no guidebook has properly mapped.
Annapurna · Manang
Annapurna Circuit
Through paddy fields, alpine meadows and one high pass into the rain shadow of the Manang valley.
Hidden Nepal · Mustang
Upper Mustang
A restricted-area trek through the old Lo Kingdom — walled city of Lo Manthang, painted monasteries, wind-eroded canyons.
Hidden Nepal · Gorkha
Manaslu Circuit
Remote, restricted, quieter than the Annapurna Circuit and twice as dramatic — over the Larkya La into the Buri Gandaki valley.
Upcoming departures · Spring & Autumn 2024–2025

How a Sherpa-led expedition works
From your first email to summit morning: the four steps a Nepal Trekking Co. expedition follows.
No call centres, no brokers, no outsourced logistics. Every step below is run by our own Kathmandu team, in our own Thamel office, with our own guides and porters on payroll.
-
01
Enquiry & route fit
You write to [email protected]. Within 24 hours, a senior guide (never a sales agent) replies with two or three route suggestions matched to your dates, fitness and altitude tolerance. No deposit to start the conversation.
-
02
Thamel briefing
You arrive in Kathmandu three nights before departure. We meet you at our 24-bed guesthouse on Naxal Marg, run a full gear check against our library of 200+ rental items, and walk you through the day-by-day itinerary with your actual lead guide present.
-
03
On-trail support
A licensed guide leads, an assistant guide sweeps, and three porters per trekker rotate the load. Teahouse accommodation, three meals a day and a daily altitude medical check are included in every itinerary. Our Thamel office tracks your position by satellite messenger throughout.
-
04
Summit morning & return
For treks with a summit push, the lead guide holds final authority on the go/no-go call, weighed against our altitude medical protocol. After Kathmandu, you receive a printed expedition dossier and a hand-numbered certificate. Every booking feeds into the Himalayan Climate Initiative offset programme, audited annually.
