## Book Direct With the People Running Your Trip

Most Nepal trips sold abroad pass through two or three companies before they reach the guide who actually walks beside you. We are the other end of that chain: a Kathmandu-based team that designs, prices, and runs your trip ourselves.

That changes practical things — price, flexibility, and what happens when something goes wrong — and it changes the feel of the trip. The person who planned your itinerary knows the lodge owners, the drivers, and the trail conditions this week, not last season.

## Honesty As Policy

We will tell you when a trek is too ambitious for your timeline, when a season works against your plans, and when a cheaper option is genuinely just as good. Quote-only pricing keeps us accountable: every cost is itemized, and you compare us against anyone.

It is also why our wildlife trips skip elephant rides, our expedition pages do not pretend climbing is easy, and our itineraries include the acclimatization days some operators quietly cut.

## FAQ

### How fast do you reply to an enquiry?

Usually within 24 hours, with ideas and a sample itinerary — not a form letter. WhatsApp is fastest if your trip is soon.

### Can you match a quote from another operator?

Send it over. We will tell you honestly what is included, what is missing, and what we would charge for the same trip — sometimes we are cheaper, sometimes the other quote is cutting something you would miss.
