Welcome to Nepal Trekking !

Welcome to my website.  I have been doing this wonderful work & trekking in Nepal for 21 years now.  I have formed great bonds of friendship with the people who take care of us – porters, guides, lodge owners, drivers, etc.  We are in safe hands wherever we go.

Nepal is still a developing country, with all that this implies. The upside is that the people are mostly unspoiled with traditional cultural values that can be positively inspiring.

We have structured a variety of treks to traditional destinations in Nepal at a pace which people of just average fitness can achieve.  We walk a little slower, rest a bit more often and take longer tea and lunch breaks.  Your rucksack will be carried by your personal porter – you don't have to keep up with the fittest in the group.

We are trekking in environmentally sensitive areas so we do what we can to have a low impact.   We each have refillable bottles and methods of purification we like so we do not have to buy plastic bottles of water.  We like lodges with fuel stoves and solar hot water.

I am involved in a small way with Bright Future Community Centre in Kapan and their Ketiko Sewing Company. You could  top up your luggage with useful items – children's books, used clothing, medical supplies.

Trekking or travelling in Nepal can be a magical experience but even travelling slowly with us can be testing at times.  The beauty of the landscape, in its infinite variety, and the spirit of the Nepali people will surely touch you.    If you are open to it Nepal can be a very enlightening experience. 

Our prices include absolutely everything, except alcohol and a nice tip for your porter at the end of the trek.  Bear this in mind when comparing prices.  Every meal, in Kathmandu and on trek, every taxi and jeep ride or internal flight.  On trek you will get a twin room to share and will often get to choose your own food.  We will meet you at the airport, take you to a nice hotel, do some sightseeing and take you shopping for extra gear if you need it (and, incidentally, let you know what you could reasonably leave behind in Kathmandu).  We will acquire the appropriate trekking permits and provide you with your own properly clothed, shod and insured porter.   International flights are NOT included in the price.    I will be personally accompanying EVERY trek.  Why wouldn't I?   It is fantastic out there.

Have a look at the Photos page to see people just like you who have trekked with us, many of them more than once, for the past 20 years.
