The style

What to expect

Some trails earn their reputation. The walk to Everest Base Camp, the circuit of the Annapurna massif, the valley path into Langtang — these are the routes that made Nepal the world's trekking country, and they remain the best first answer to the question of where to go. The lodges are comfortable and plentiful, the trails are well kept, and the acclimatization ladders have been proven by decades of trekking seasons.

Famous does not have to mean crowded. We time departures away from the busiest weeks, book the teahouses our guides actually like, and hold the rest days that let you enjoy the landmarks instead of racing between them. You walk the route everyone knows — the way few people walk it.

Who it’s for

First-time Himalayan trekkers, and anyone who wants the famous routes done properly.
