Everest · Annapurna · Langtang · Manaslu
You're not just booking a trek. You're hiring local people.
We match independent trekkers with licensed Nepali guides and porters, paid properly, insured and equipped. Take a fixed all-in price, or hire the team by the day and arrange the rest yourself. Both published. No agency in the middle.

The rules
Do you need a guide?
Since 2023, on almost every trail, yes. What the rule asks of you and what it leaves alone.
Season
When to go
What each season actually feels like on the trail, and which treks are worth doing outside the two busy ones.
Costs
What a trek costs
Both prices, in full: the fixed all-in rate, and the day rate if you would rather organise it yourself.
Paperwork
Permits & passes
What ACAP, Sagarmatha and the restricted area permits cost, and where to buy them.
Health
Altitude sickness
Recognising AMS, sensible ascent rates, and when to turn around.
Insurance
Travel insurance
What a policy has to cover before it is any use up here: the altitude ceiling, and who pays for the helicopter.
Kit
What to pack
The whole list, item by item, filtered down to budget options or printed off as a checklist to pack against.
Weather
Everest forecasts
Seven-day mountain forecasts for Lukla, Namche, Gorak Shep and the high passes.
