How your tailor-made trek works
Four simple steps from first message to first day on the trail.
1. Tell us your idea
Fill in the short form or message us on WhatsApp. Rough dates and a region are enough to start.
2. Get your plan
Within 24 hours we send a day-by-day itinerary and a clear price. No obligation.
3. Make it yours
Change days, pace, rooms or side trips until it feels right. We adjust as often as you need.
4. Trek with locals
Your porter-guide meets you and we handle permits, transport and lodges. You just walk.
Everything can be changed
Our listed treks are a starting point, not a fixed menu. Every tailor-made trip is private, so you trek only with your own family or friends.
- Region and route: Makalu, Everest, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Manaslu, or somewhere off the map
- Dates: start any day that suits you, in any season we can safely trek
- Length: from a 1-day Khandbari tour to 4 weeks in the mountains
- Pace: shorter walking days, extra rest and acclimatisation days
- Lodging: tea houses, village homestays, or camping on remote routes
- Team: porter-guide, separate guide and porter, or an extra porter
- Extras: Kathmandu and Pokhara hotels, domestic flights, jeeps, a village school visit, festivals and cultural days
- Group: solo, couples, families with children, friends, school and university groups
Ideas to make your own
Pick one as a base and tell us what to change: add days, join two routes, or slow it down.
Our home mountain. Remote valleys, Rai and Sherpa villages and almost no crowds. Ask to add Shipton La rest days or start with a Khandbari village stay.
A short ridge trek from Pokhara with huge mountain views. Easy to join with Poon Hill or Annapurna Base Camp.
Gentle days, Gurung villages and a famous sunrise. Good for families and first-time trekkers.
Into the Annapurna Sanctuary, ringed by 7,000 and 8,000 m peaks. Add Poon Hill at the start for a 10-day loop.
Popular combinations
- Poon Hill + Annapurna Base Camp: about 10 days
- Mardi Himal + Poon Hill: about 10 days
- Makalu Base Camp + Khandbari culture days: about 20 days
- Tumlingtar to Lukla, then Everest Base Camp: about 4 weeks

Tailor-made trek questions
It depends on the region, length, permits and team size. As a guide, our listed treks start from about US$720 for 5 days in Annapurna and US$1,550 for 18 days to Makalu Base Camp. We send a clear price with every plan, with nothing hidden.
Yes. A tailor-made trek is only for you and the people you bring. We don’t add strangers to your group.
Yes. You trek with your own licensed guide, or a porter-guide. Some regions, such as Kanchenjunga and Upper Arun, need at least two trekkers for the restricted area permit, and we will tell you if that applies.
For spring (March to May) and autumn (October to November), 2 to 3 months ahead is best. For quieter seasons a few weeks is often enough. Just ask.
Yes. Add rest days, join two routes, start in a different village, or shorten it. Most of our guests change at least one thing.
Usually your guide and porter (with their pay, food, lodging and insurance), permits, and the ground transport in your plan. Tea house rooms and meals are normally paid directly to the families on the trail, so the money stays local. Your plan lists exactly what’s in and out.
No. Planning is free. We ask for a deposit only when you are happy with the plan and want to confirm.
Yes. We plan shorter days and lower routes, such as Ghorepani Poon Hill or the Makalu View Trek, and add extra rest days where needed.
Part of every trip fee helps pay for school supplies for children in the Makalu Arun villages and food for elderly people at Manakamana Elderly Home in Khandbari. Your porter-guides are local and fairly paid.
