Namaste & Tashi Delek. We look forward to welcoming you to Himalayas!!!

Area:

Nepal is widely recognized for Mount Everest and the Annapurna region, however at Responsible Treks we appreciate how much more there is to this beautiful land. We pride ourselves on taking our global clients into the more unexplored regions where beauty; diversity and tranquility still exist. Adventure is inherent in these places, far off from the beaten track, hidden within the Himalayas, we invite you to explore the delights of pristine Karnali, travelling via Limi to Mt Kailash, Explore Dolpo, Rara, Api and Saipal, the Tibetan Plateau and the jungles of Bardia.

Foundation & Ethos:

At Responsible Treks we share an abiding passion for our homeland; while growing up we listened with great admiration to the tales and songs of our ancestors, who by foot and horseback, followed the ancient salt trading routes across the Himalayan sub-continent. It was this allure of discovery that fired our imagination and propelled us to act, thus founding Responsible Treks in Dec 2009.  With passion, field expertise and intimate local knowledge our team come together to offer you an opportunity to travel within the remote regions of this country, whilst providing support to the people that need it most. SNV (a Dutch International Development Organization) estimates that less than 1% of tourism revenues in Nepal reach the most in-need and remote rural areas; a statistic which we are committed to improving.
Our mission is to promote responsible and sustainable travel within these remote areas, as we care not only about the local environment, but in support of the local culture and host communities benefiting all.

Commitment:

At Responsible Treks we strive to occupy the position of being the preferred partner for responsible travel within the hidden Himalayas; we work hard to promote a harmonious relationship between tourism while supporting our local communities. Our professionalism is underlined by a deep sense of responsibility towards the clients we serve and the communities in which we live. With partners in numerous tourist organizations, we ensure our code of practice meets with International standards.

Responsible Treks is a Travelife partner, having met their sustainability criteria. Responsible Treks have also been audited and coached by the CBI export coaching program, from 2014 to 2018. This is a scheme associated with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to promote trade between Europe and entrepreneurs in developing countries, which has enabled us to enhance the efficiency, professionalism and services.
We regularly participate in the leading world tourism fairs.

Leadership & Safety:

Ensuring your health and safety is our priority. Successful operations depend on meticulous preparation. With the right training, planning & positive mindset, no trek or summit is out of reach.
All our trek leaders are qualified mountain guides with field experience. Our staff are trained in essential first aid and insurance covered; they carry mobile & Satellite phones to ensure & maintain communication with Headquarters (Kathmandu).
