Our Nepal treks

Small - Friendly - Adventurous

Hello from the three of us! Himalayan journeys are truly our passion and lifestyle. Joel and Kim run the best Zanskar and Ladakh treks there are, and in our unique style. Naturally we know and love Nepal, our second home, and Kim also specializes in everything Tibetan. Jamie guides Everest (yep, to the summit) and runs the the best exploratory treks on the planet.

Real treks in the best seasons with small groups and top crews - join us!

Limi and Kailash Magic *friends

Thought by some to be the fabled Shangri-la, we explore the remote Limi Valley then trek around Kailash, possibly cleansing the sins of a lifetime. For select previous trekkers only.

Thinley's Dolpo & Shey Phoksumdo Trek - Nepal *exploratory

The mystique of remote 'inner' Dolpo, closed to foreigners for decades and still culturally Tibetan, has been enhanced by Matthiessen's 'The Snow Leopard' and the movie 'Himalaya'. Crossing the Kangmara La, we trek to the fabled Shey Gompa, Phoksumdo Lake and Dho Tarap, where the inhabitants still trade along the old salt routes. Explore this hidden land with us!

The Land Beyond: Api Saipal - West Nepal *exploratory
