Nepal has long been revered as one of the world’s premier trekking destinations, with countless routes unfolding right at the doorstep of the Himalayas.

As tourism has grown over the years, the industry has expanded rapidly and Nepal now hosts a vast number of freelance guides and trekking agencies.

While this growth has created opportunities, it has also led to oversaturation. In many cases, the focus has shifted toward cost-cutting and competition, rather than value and experience. This can diminish the journey for both the traveller and the operator, reducing what should be a rich, culturally grounded experience into a transactional one.

​

At Hotham Himalaya, we take the path of value.

We work closely with trusted local teams and keep our group sizes small, focusing on meaningful connection, respectful travel, and quality guiding. Our trips are designed not just to get you from A to B, but to immerse you in the spirit of the mountains, the rhythms of daily life, and the culture of the people who call this place home.

All of our packages will have an Australian liaison in Kathmandu who will personally meet you at the airport and introduce you to the guide(s). They’ll remain available throughout your journey, just a phone call away, to help smooth out any concerns and ensure your experience is as seamless and supported as possible.
