Our Roots in the Himalayas

Our story begins in Phortse, Nepal in the Khumbu Glacier with the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Our family-owned business has been guiding adventurers across these ancient trails since 2018. As natives of this majestic region, we deeply revere its beauty and mysteries.
