We strive to create unforgettable experiences, combining the beauty of Nepal’s beautiful landscapes with authentic cultural encounters. Whether you’re trekking to the famous Everest Base Camp or explore more remote areas, we’re here to make your journey extraordinary and uniquely yours.
Why join us? Our vision goes beyond offering the adventure of a lifetime. We are committed to ensuring fair pay for our staff, guides, and porters. Recognizing their invaluable role in your journey.
Unfortunately, fair pay and proper treatment during treks are often not the norm in the trekking industry in Nepal, but we are determined to set a higher standard.
By ensuring fair pay, giving back to local communities and supporting development in a country facing poverty, we strive to make a positive impact, creating adventures that uplift everyone involved.
Gyaljen's track record as a guide is enormous. He has many years of experience in the mountains. As just a young boy, he started working as a porter. Through his perseverance and determination, he has been able to fulfill his ambition of becoming a certified mountain guide.
His dream, however, didn’t stop there. Gyaljen aspired to start his own company where he could do things the right way - providing the best possible service to both his clients and his staff. By combining his deep knowledge of the mountains with a commitment to fairness and quality, he has created a trekking experience that is both memorable for travelers and empowering for his team.
