Nepal Social Treks

What Nepal Social Treks does

Nepal Social Treks and Expedition Pvt. Ltd. is a Kathmandu-based adventure tourism company founded in 2006 that operates guided trekking, mountaineering expeditions, and peak climbing services across the Himalayan region. The company serves international adventure tourists and mountaineering enthusiasts, offering a portfolio of nearly 100 itineraries spanning trekking across major Nepal regions (Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, plus restricted areas including Upper Mustang and Dolpo), technical peak climbing on trekking peaks such as Island Peak and Mera Peak, full-scale expeditions to 8,000m+ summits including Mount Everest at $45,300 per climber, and ancillary offerings such as cultural tours, jungle safaris in Chitwan and Bardia, helicopter sightseeing, and yoga meditation retreats. Operations are anchored by government-licensed guides and Sherpa teams with IFMGA or Nepal Mountaineering Association training, many with multiple Everest summits, and the company handles the full logistics stack — permits, teahouse or camp accommodation, meals, domestic flights, and equipment — for each package.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with online booking through the company website and the WeTravel checkout platform (requiring a $200 deposit and offering free cancellation 30 days before departure), supplemented by regional channel partnerships with NepalViaje.com for Spain and South America and Discopera Himalaya for France. Pricing is one-time per package and spans $850 for a 10-day Langtang Valley trek up to $45,300 for the 63-day Mount Everest Expedition. The company contributes 10% of total income to social foundations supporting underprivileged rural communities and operates with eco-tourism practices.

Customer acquisition runs through SEO-oriented blog content, TripAdvisor and Google reviews (4.9/5 and 4.8/5 respectively, across hundreds of reviews), email and WhatsApp contact, and participation in travel trade shows such as the Toronto Adventure Outdoor Show. The company has been continuously recommended in the Lonely Planet Guide Nepal since 2012 and serves destination markets in Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet. It operates as a privately held private limited company in Kathmandu with 11-50 employees and no disclosed institutional investment.
