ABOUT US
BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE
Soul Trek Nepal is a small Kathmandu-based team of guides, porters, and planners who grew up in the shadow of these mountains.
Bijaya Paudel
Founder, Soul Trek Nepal
Bijaya also founded Tourism Times Nepal and serves as General Manager of Thousand Miles Travel and Tourism. Soul Trek Nepal draws on that same background in Nepal's tourism industry, built around small guided groups and guides who know the routes firsthand.
OUR STORY
Soul Trek Nepal is run by a small Kathmandu-based team, guided by the same tourism-industry experience behind founder Bijaya Paudel's other travel ventures in Nepal. We run five core routes across four regions, kept deliberately small so every itinerary is built by someone who has actually walked it.
We keep our groups small on purpose. Every crew member is paid fairly and equipped properly — not just handed a porter's basket at the trailhead.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
15+ Years Guiding
Our lead guides have been on the trails since before Soul Trek Nepal existed as a company.
Local, Full-Time Staff
No freelance porters hired the week of your trek — our crew works with us year-round.
Leave No Trace
We pack out what we bring in and route treks to support, not strain, the villages we pass through.
