About Us
About us
Meet Amigo Treks & Expedition, a Kathmandu-based travel company since 2014. Discover our local team, Himalayan journeys, safety approach and track record.
Locally Owned. Himalayan Experts. Trusted by Travelers Since 2014.
Amigo Treks & Expedition is a locally owned trekking, mountaineering and travel company based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Established in 2014, we organize Himalayan adventures, cultural holidays and tailor-made journeys across Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.
Over the years, we have welcomed travelers from around the world, helping them experience everything from the trails of Everest and Annapurna to remote Himalayan valleys, mountain summits, Buddhist monasteries and historic cities.
We are not simply a company that sells travel packages. We are the people who plan your journey, arrange the logistics, answer your questions and coordinate with your guides and local partners once your adventure begins.
Our approach has always been personal: understand what each traveler wants, recommend a suitable journey and deliver the experience with care, honesty and local knowledge.
Our Story: From Kathmandu to the Himalayas
Amigo Treks & Expedition was founded in 2014 with the aim of making Himalayan travel more accessible, better organized and more personal.
We recognized that travelers planning a trip to Nepal often face the same questions. Which trek suits their fitness? How much time should they allow for acclimatization? Can they trust the local company handling their arrangements? And what happens if mountain weather changes the plan?
We wanted travelers to have someone in Nepal who could answer those questions clearly and take responsibility for coordinating their journey.
From our office in Kathmandu, we began arranging trekking holidays, expeditions and sightseeing tours, gradually expanding our services to Tibet, Bhutan, luxury travel and specialized Himalayan adventures.
Although our range of trips has grown, our approach remains the same. We treat each journey individually, whether it is a short holiday for two people, a family trip, a private trek or a demanding mountaineering expedition.
What We Do
Our experience covers a wide range of Himalayan travel, from relaxed cultural holidays to challenging high-altitude expeditions.
Trekking and Hiking in Nepal
Our trekking programs include the Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna region treks, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Langtang Valley and lesser-visited regions of Nepal.
We organize treks for different levels of experience and help travelers understand the walking hours, altitude, accommodation and preparation required before they book.
Peak Climbing and Mountaineering Expeditions
For travelers looking beyond the trekking trails, we arrange climbing trips to Island Peak, Mera Peak and Lobuche Peak, along with more demanding Himalayan expeditions.
Climbing requires careful preparation, experienced field teams, appropriate equipment and realistic expectations. We explain the technical demands and risks before recommending a mountain objective.
Nepal Cultural Tours and Special Experiences
Not every visitor comes to Nepal to trek. Our cultural holidays include Kathmandu Valley heritage sites, Pokhara, wildlife safaris, pilgrimage journeys, family holidays, motorcycle adventures and helicopter tours.
We also arrange private and luxury travel for guests who prefer additional comfort, flexible schedules and personalized services.
Tibet and Bhutan Holidays
Our Tibet tours include Lhasa, Tibetan monasteries, Everest's northern base camp and Mount Kailash journeys.
In Bhutan, we organize cultural tours and Himalayan holidays, including visits to Paro, Thimphu, Punakha and Tiger's Nest Monastery.
Travel regulations, permits and local arrangements vary by destination. Our team helps guests understand these requirements while preparing their journeys.
Our Experience and Track Record
Behind every successful journey are many decisions made before and during the trip.
Since our establishment, Amigo Treks & Expedition has reported the following company-wide figures:
12 years of Himalayan travel experience, since 2014
4,500 travelers hosted
65 countries represented among our guests
525 trips operated
Over 99% trip-goal achievement rate, according to our records
Company figures last reviewed in September 2026. Trip outcomes and emergency rescue statistics are tracked separately.
What Our Success Rate Measures
Our reported success rate of more than 99% reflects the proportion of travelers who achieved the primary objective of their journey.
For a trekker, this could mean reaching Everest Base Camp, completing the Annapurna Circuit or finishing a planned Himalayan trek. For climbers, it means achieving their intended climbing objective. For cultural travelers, it means completing the principal experiences of their planned tour.
We also maintain separate records of emergency operations. Over the past six years, Amigo Treks & Expedition has recorded two emergency rescues.
These figures reflect our reported operating experience, but they are not guarantees. Weather, altitude, health, individual preparation and other circumstances can affect any journey.
Our guides and operations team always have the responsibility to recommend a change of plan when conditions make continuing unsuitable.
We consider a responsible decision to turn back a better outcome than taking an unnecessary risk to reach a destination.
How We Look After Our Travelers
Good Himalayan travel planning begins long before guests arrive in Nepal.
We discuss the itinerary, walking difficulty, season, altitude, accommodation and transportation arrangements with travelers before confirming the trip.
For high-altitude treks, we pay particular attention to acclimatization, daily elevation gains, rest days and practical preparation.
During the journey, our guides remain in contact with our operations team when assistance or changes are necessary. Mountain flights can be delayed, roads can be disrupted, and weather may require adjustments to the planned route.
We cannot control every situation, but we can explain the available options, coordinate the necessary arrangements and help travelers make informed decisions.
We also encourage suitable travel insurance, particularly for remote trekking, climbing and other high-altitude activities where emergency evacuation may be required.
Why Travel with Amigo?
There are many companies offering Himalayan travel experiences. We believe our greatest strength is the relationship between our guests, our local team and the people who deliver the journey.
Local knowledge and direct operations
Our Kathmandu-based team works with guides, porters, drivers, accommodation providers and local partners. We understand that reliable arrangements on the ground are just as important as an attractive itinerary.
Personal attention
Every traveler has different expectations. Some prefer a challenging trekking schedule, while others want a slower journey, better accommodation or more time to experience local culture.
Flexible and customized journeys
Our published packages are starting points. Wherever practical, we can adjust travel dates, itinerary length, comfort level, transportation and activities to suit individual requirements.
Honest information and transparent pricing
We explain what is included in a package, what is excluded, and where additional costs may arise. We would rather discuss a limitation before a booking than leave travelers with unexpected surprises.
Support before and during travel
Our local team assists with trip planning, arrival arrangements and operational coordination throughout the journey, including when unexpected circumstances require changes.

Responsible Tourism and Our Local Communities
The Himalayan regions are not simply travel destinations. They are home to communities whose traditions, livelihoods and environments deserve respect.
Our journeys depend on the knowledge and hard work of local guides, porters, drivers, accommodation providers and other tourism professionals.
We encourage travelers to respect local customs, reduce unnecessary waste, use resources thoughtfully and approach cultural experiences with sensitivity.
We recognize that responsible tourism is an ongoing responsibility rather than a single achievement. Our aim is to continue improving the way we work with communities, staff and local service providers.

What Our Travelers Say
Much of what we have learned over the years comes directly from our guests.
Their feedback helps us understand what we do well, where we need to improve and what matters most to travelers arriving in the Himalayas for the first time.
Our published review summary, checked in September 2026, includes 548 guest reviews across Google, Tripadvisor and the Amigo website, with a combined displayed rating of 4.9 out of 5.
We encourage prospective travelers to read individual experiences rather than relying only on ratings or company claims.
Meet the People Behind Your Journey
A well-organized Himalayan holiday depends on more than one guide or travel planner.
Our team includes the people who discuss routes with guests, arrange permits and accommodation, coordinate transport, organize field logistics and lead journeys in the mountains.
We believe travelers should know who is responsible for these arrangements and have a clear point of contact throughout the planning process.
