Why Real Himalaya
We are devoted to travel —
and to the people who trust us with theirs
At Real Himalaya, we believe the mountains are more than summits — they are journeys of the soul. Whether you dream of Everest Base Camp, the Three Passes, Gokyo Lakes, Manaslu, Annapurna, or a life-changing peak climb, we walk beside you every step of the way.
Read our storySherpa-led, every route
Founder Dayula Sherpa has climbed Everest, Shishapangma twice, and Makalu five times. Every itinerary is designed and led by guides who have stood on these summits.
Safety without compromise
Certified guides, tested equipment, pulse oximeters on every trek, and comprehensive emergency protocols including helicopter evacuation coordination.
Local to the last mile
We are a licensed Nepali agency, not a reseller. Permits, tea houses, porters, and transport are arranged directly by our team in Kathmandu.
Honest, all-in pricing
Published package prices cover permits, local staff, accommodation, and meals on trek. No surprise costs on the trail.
Traveller reviews
Stories from the trail
“From the first email to the final goodbye at Kathmandu airport, everything was flawlessly organised. Our guide knew every trail, every story, and every shortcut. The tea houses were well chosen, the acclimatisation days were wisely planned, and the mountain views were beyond words.”
Annette B
Everest Base Camp Trek · Australia
“Incredible trip to EBC, and Real Himalaya were outstanding. The journey was the experience of a lifetime, and the team made it particularly special. Always smiling, always having fun, and always looking out for people in the group. When the weather turned on the way back down they really came into their own, adjusting accommodation and plans without fuss.”

“Slowly slowly or hurry hurry - either way Real Himalaya fits the bill. The team provide just the right amount of motivation, fun and humour on the trail, and impart their knowledge of the mountains and Sherpa history along the way. Already planning my next trip with them.”

Everest Base Camp Trek · United Kingdom
“I have trekked with several agencies in Nepal over the years, and Real Himalaya stands out for the professionalism and warmth of their guides. They handled permits, transport and lodges seamlessly, leaving us free to simply enjoy the mountains.”
Maya Gurung
Annapurna Circuit · Nepal
“A perfect short trek. The team picked great lodges, kept the pace comfortable for our group, and the sunrise over the Annapurna range from High Camp was unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone short on time.”
Bikash Shrestha
Mardi Himal Trek · Nepal
“Our first trek as a family with children, and the guides could not have been more caring and attentive. Safety briefings were thorough, and the whole experience felt personal from start to finish.”

Questions
Before you book
EBC is achievable for most people of good general health with a reasonable base fitness. You should be comfortable walking 5-7 hours a day on mountain trails. We recommend a training program of regular hill walking and cardio for 8-12 weeks before departure.
The two main seasons are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). Both offer stable weather and clear mountain views. Autumn is the most popular; spring brings warmer days and rhododendron blooms at lower altitudes.
Everest region treks require the Khumbu Rural Municipality permit and Sagarmatha National Park entry. Annapurna treks require the ACAP and TIMS cards. We arrange all permits as part of every package - nothing for you to organise.
We require all clients to hold comprehensive travel insurance covering trekking to the maximum altitude of their itinerary and helicopter evacuation. We are happy to advise on suitable policies before you book.
In Kathmandu you stay in quality hotels; on trek, comfortable guest houses and tea houses with private or twin rooms where available. Our climbing and expedition packages include tented camps with full support crew.
Our groups run from 2 to a maximum of 16 trekkers, guided by experienced English-speaking Sherpa guides, with assistant guides added for larger groups. Private departures for families and friends are available on every itinerary.
Send us an enquiry through the contact form, by email, or on WhatsApp. We confirm availability and hold your place with a 20% deposit; the balance is due on arrival in Kathmandu. Bank transfer and card payments are accepted.
