OUR PROFILE:
We are registered with the Department of Tourism, Government of Nepal, as Global Adventure Trekking P. Ltd. However, we are pioneers in Himalayan activities, and we've hiked the length & breadth of Nepal's vast Himalayas, escorting enthusiastic trekkers on some of the most popular & remote regions on the planet; our wilderness forays have even gone beyond borders into Tibet, Bhutan & Darjeeling-Sikkim, ensuring that our guests tread into areas less explored & enjoy not only a holiday paid for but also to return home with lifetime experiences in the course of discovering the unknown from the known.
Our business operations are based on outdoor adventure activities, which is the base of our skills, while we also operate exclusive historical tours, jungle safaris & adventure sports that include white rafting, mountain biking, bungy jumping, tropical village sightseeing, mountain flights, etc. We always strive to give our clients a host of options to enjoy holidays of more substance.

Our Business focus is to organize planned holiday trips for visitors from all over the world. Concerning this, we seek to build mutually beneficial partnerships & relations with adventure & tour companies of good standing to exchange business ideas related to all aspects of tourism in both our countries and share mutual benefits with them. We deliberate on personalized services for all our clients, ensuring satisfaction at all times in the course of their holidays in our country. It is a part of our company policies to build a travel trademark of status for ourselves and our partners in all aspects of our business.
OUR CURRENT SITUATION
Basic company information
Our company, Global Adventure Trekking P. Ltd., is based in Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, which is centrally located in the all-tourist enclave of the capital city of Kathmandu. After much research based on our decade of experience in determining the weaknesses & strengths of the tourism industry in our homeland, Nepal, we have formally established our company to provide more in-depth services to travelers wishing to enjoy holidays in our country & the neighboring Himalayan countries across the borders. The company is headed by Mr. Rajan Dahal, CEO and Founder of Global Adventure Trekking P. Ltd., who has extensive experience in outdoor adventures both within & outside the country.
OUR MISSION
GAT has built up a reputation founded on a proven ability to provide quality adventure holidays that represent real value for money. From day one, we have been motivated by the desire to take small groups of like-minded people to some of the most remote and rarely-visited destinations in Nepal & its neighboring Himalayan countries and to provide an authentic travel experience. We have always strived to look beyond the tourist traps and to provide itineraries that include forgotten mountain paths, hidden valleys, isolated villages, and uninhabited coastlines. By taking you right up into the mountains and close to the local people and their cultures, we aim to provide a better understanding of each of our destinations as well as memories to last a lifetime.
OUR VISION
We avoid many of the areas normally visited by tourists and endeavor to immerse our clients in the rich culture of the many different parts of our country. We seek to provide a balance between conventional sightseeing and true contact with local people and families. We are constantly seeking to improve our tours, to stay ahead of our competitors. To help us achieve this, we have, over the years, developed a superb network of local contacts and guides among our neighboring Himalayan countries across the borders. They are in steady touch, informing us of any changes that may affect our itinerary. Our early vision was that travel should be an adventurous, exciting, enriching, and educational experience. It should be something that informs and expands an individual's perspective on the world. Our escorted adventure tours to amazing destinations all around our amazing countries Nepal, Tibet & Bhutan do just that.

OUR EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS
Channeling vital business information to our partners
We always seek to keep our partners updated on the new developments in the Himalayan region in Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Darjeeling-Sikkim. Sometimes, unexpected changes are made due to changing government policies that could hamper the business of our partners more than it may harm the local business enterprise. At GAT, we don't allow this to happen; we keep our business partners updated with all the relevant information related to tourism, changes in routes, the introduction of new trek peaks, or even calamities that may have occurred due to climate change. Our partners can be assured that your interest will always be confined in Nepal through Global Adventure Trekking.
- Training programs for GAT crews
We are aware of the fact that the more efficient our crews are, the better for the safety of our clients. In this respect, our crews are always refreshed on the latest developments in mountain trekking and climbing, and we always conduct review courses for the development & improvement of the English language & other necessary languages for the benefit of our clients. Our staff is also updated on the latest first aid medical treatment related to mountain sickness & the use of the latest types of equipment for trips above the tree lines. Be sure that the staff who accompany you on your trips are well-versed in the ways of the mountains, & you will always be safe with them.
Environmental awareness training for our business associates & crews
To ensure we are always working towards protecting the environment and using Resources in an efficient, fair, and responsible way, we ensure that our trips are designed in a way that limits the physical impact on the destinations we visit so that they may be enjoyed by many generations to come. We train our guide partners & crews about our trips, which have a low impact by design. How? We try to use public transport where possible, guide our partners on how to identify locally owned and simpler styles of accommodation, and eat locally owned food grains where the food has been locally grown, therefore reducing food mile emissions.
To minimize carbon emissions on our trips, we guide our partners & crew on the following considerations:
Local Services: We engage locally owned and operated services, thereby supporting local people and not using long & transport-intensive supply chains.
Local Transport: We encourage the use of local public transport wherever we can to reduce fuel usage per passenger. Water Conservation: We support initiatives that encourage conservative use of water and hot water, such as low-flow showers.
Local Food and Local Goods: We strongly encourage & train our partners & crews to eat locally-produced food and goods. This reduces the embodied energy (energy consumed through production and transport) of the food and goods purchased by our guests
Water Bottles: We encourage our clients to refill a water bottle from water boiled & cooled where available to avoid unnecessary purchasing of bottled water and subsequent waste disposal issues. But there are some isolated spots on the trails where the use of bottled water is unavoidable. We are constantly updating our partners through training & orientation on the various changes that occur due to the environment.
