From valley to summit

Every route is drawn from village memory.

A Kushav journey begins in conversation, bends through quiet valleys, pauses at family teahouses and follows the mountain at the pace it asks for.

Small groups

Slow altitude days, local rhythm.

Local guides

Valley-born teams, not sales scripts.

Fair trail

Porter care, village stays, less waste.

Five trails, strung in the wind

Choose a flag. The mountain answers.

Each flag carries a route that has carried walkers for generations. Tap one to unfurl its story.

Four trails, four chapters

The treks we walk most often.

Each one is a route we have led many times. A first three days, a full itinerary, and the freedom to shape it around your pace.

When the wind drops: choosing a season for Everest

Spring or autumn? It's the question every traveller asks us. The honest answer depends less on the calendar than on what you want to come home with.

What we pay our porters, and why it isn't a number

There's a minimum wage on the IPPG website. It is too low. Here is what we pay, and the calculation behind every load.

A short, opinionated packing list for Upper Mustang

Mustang is high, dry, and windier than people expect. Bring less than you think — but make the less right.

Meet your guide

Kumar Magar

A calm, mountain-shaped presence on the trail — steady on steep days, patient with altitude, and happiest when the group settles into the real rhythm of the Khumbu.

Kumar grew up around trail life and now leads walkers through Everest country with a quiet confidence that first-time trekkers trust immediately. He is the kind of guide who notices pace, weather, tea stops and morale before anyone needs to ask.

Trekkers you can call

Past walkers, happy to share their story.

Don't take our word for it. These trekkers walked with us — call or message them directly before you book.

Bring your dates

We’ll draw the trail by hand.

A short conversation, a careful itinerary — then the road, lit one lamp at a time.
