Nepal has no shortage of trekking companies. What sets Global Adventure Trekking apart is simple: we're not a booking agent reselling someone else's itinerary; we're the local expert team who actually walks the trail with you.
Founded in 1998 and based out of our own office in Thamel, Kathmandu, we're a family-run, government-registered Nepal trekking company built by guides who grew up in the mountains.
For over 28+ years, we have planned each trek as a local who would plan for a friend, not a package built for a stranger.
What Makes Us Different?
- A Local, Government-Registered Company: You book directly with the people who own and run every trip, and you are welcome to walk into our Thamel office any time to meet them.
- 28+ Years on These Exact Trails: Since 1998, we've operated in every major trekking region of Nepal, including Everest Base Camp and Manaslu Circuit Trek. Our team knows these trails inside out.
- Guides Who Grew Up Where You're Walking: Many of our guides were raised in the villages along the trails they lead, so they know the lodge owners, the weather, and the local customs firsthand.
- Small, Personal Groups: We keep our groups deliberately small, often family-sized, so your guide learns your name, pace, and limits.
- Itineraries Built Around You: You can adjust any trip on this site, or we'll customize a trip from scratch to fit your time, budget, and interests.
- Transparent, Fair Pricing: We build every package around a realistic budget and tell you exactly what it includes.
- A Reputation We Earned, Not Bought: Lonely Planet and The Longest Way Home both recommend us. Nearly 99% of our clients rate our service as excellent; see for yourself on our client reviews page.
- A Guide Who Speaks Your Language: Wherever we can, we match you with a guide who speaks your language fluently, including Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French, and Dutch.
- Everything Under One Roof: Our team handles your permits, flights, hotels, and add-ons like jungle safaris or peak climbing, so one team runs your whole Nepal holiday.
- Committed to Responsible Trekking: As members of TAAN, NMA, HRA, and KEEP, we follow strict safety and environmental standards and partner directly with local communities on every trip.
