About Travel Himalaya Nepal
Your trusted local partner for trekking and tours in Nepal for over 25 years.
Our Story
Travel Himalaya Nepal was founded in 1998 in Lakeside, Pokhara — the gateway to the Annapurna region. What started as a small trekking company with a deep love for the mountains has grown into one of Nepal's most trusted adventure travel operators.
Over 25 years, we've guided thousands of trekkers from around the world through Nepal's most spectacular landscapes — from the rhododendron forests of Poon Hill to the high-altitude passes of Annapurna Circuit and the iconic trails to Everest Base Camp.
Our team is made up of local mountain experts, certified guides, and passionate travel professionals who know Nepal not just as a destination, but as home.
What We Stand For
Local Expertise
Every guide is a local who grew up in these mountains. They know the trails, weather patterns, and culture intimately.
Responsible Tourism
We work with local communities, minimise our environmental impact, and follow Leave No Trace principles on all treks.
Safety First
Certified in wilderness first aid. We carry emergency equipment and maintain 24/7 radio communication on all expeditions.
Meet Our Guides
Local mountain experts who know every trail, season, and summit by heart.
Rajan Gurung
Head Trek Guide · 15 yrs
Ghandruk Village, Annapurna
Rajan grew up at 2,012m in Ghandruk, one of the villages you'll pass on the Annapurna Base Camp route. He knows the trail the way most people know their street — every switchback, every teahouse family, every microclimate. With 300+ expeditions led and wilderness first-aid certification from the Nepal Mountaineering Association, he's the guide your safety depends on at altitude. His rule: "We descend if in doubt. The summit will still be there." In 15 years, he's never broken that rule.
"Rajan adjusted my pace every single day. I was struggling at 3,500m and he got me to base camp without a single scary moment. Best decision I ever made was trusting him completely." — Alex C., United States (Annapurna Base Camp, October 2024)
Sunita Pandey
Cultural & Sightseeing Guide · 10 yrs
Lakeside, Pokhara
Born and raised in Pokhara's Lakeside district, Sunita speaks English, Japanese, and German fluently — and can get by in four others. But her real language is context. She's the guide who explains why the prayer flags are those five specific colours, who tells you the history of the gompa you're standing in, and why the festival happening in the next village is the one you didn't know you needed to see. Her speciality is the cultural circuit — Chitwan, Lumbini, Kathmandu — and the valley day treks that most visitors miss entirely.
"Sunita didn't just show us Nepal — she helped us understand it. We left feeling like we'd actually met the country, not just photographed it." — Yuki T., Japan (Pokhara Valley & Sarangkot, March 2025)
Bikash Thapa
High-Altitude Guide · 12 yrs
Salleri, Solukhumbu (Everest District)
Bikash is from the Everest district — his hometown sits at 2,376m, which means altitude is home. He's summited Mera Peak (6,476m) and Island Peak (6,189m), and leads every Everest Base Camp expedition we run. He carries a pulse oximeter above 3,500m, oxygen above 5,000m, and a calm certainty that comes from 12 years of reading mountains. Trekkers describe him as "quietly unstoppable" — the person who made them believe they could do it, even at Gorak Shep in the dark at 5am.
"Bikash led me to EBC last November. There's nothing I can say about his professionalism that wouldn't be an understatement. He summited Kala Patthar with us at -15°C and was completely unaffected. I was half-dead. He made tea." — Marcus D., Germany (Everest Base Camp, November 2024)
