OUR ORIGIN STORY

"Come as a guest, leave as a friend."

With over 10 years of leading treks, we established North Nepal Travel & Trek with a single goal in mind — to provide genuine, authentic experiences in the Himalayas, led by the people who know it best.

As a former guide, our founder Mohan Raj Bhandari understands what makes a trek truly memorable. It's not just the mountains, but the people, the stories, and the connections made along the way.

We invite you to join us on a journey where you arrive as a guest, and leave as a lifelong friend.

OUR TEAM

Empowering guides through training & experience

New guides join us as assistant guides and are given real learning opportunities until they're experienced and ready to lead a group themselves — never sent out before they're prepared.

From senior guides with 15+ years of experience to young guides with 5+ years, plus experienced lady guides, our team has the diversity to match every client's request. All are government-licensed professionals with solid conversational English and a friendly, hardworking approach.

As a responsible agency, we insure our guide and porter crew with accidental cover — securing their treatment and rescue funds, every trip.

  • Tailor-made trips — create an itinerary that fits your pace and preferences.
  • Date and time flexibility — start any trip on any date, subject to guide availability.
  • Add-on activities — combine your trek with a jungle safari, cultural tour, or yoga retreat.
