Autumn (Oct–Nov)

Crystal skies after the monsoon — the classic season for ABC, Mardi and the Circuit. Book early.

Spring (Mar–Apr)

Warm days and whole hillsides of rhododendron in bloom. Our favourite time on Poon Hill and Khopra.

Monsoon (Jun–Aug)

Green valleys, few tourists — and Upper Mustang sits in the rain shadow, dry and open all summer.

Winter (Dec–Feb)

Sharp views and empty trails on lower ridges — Poon Hill, Australian Camp. High passes stay closed.

Guides who grew up here

Our guides are from Ghandruk, Lwang and Sikles. They know which teahouse bakes the good bread and when the clouds will lift.

02

Licensed, insured, transparent

Nepal Tourism Board registered. Guides and porters fully insured and fairly paid — and the price we quote is the price you pay.

03

Small groups, your pace

Private departures for your group only. We walk at your speed, add rest days when your body asks, and never rush a sunrise.
