We are a LOCAL Company - NEST Adventure is a Nepal-based company run by a team of local experts. We believe in creating opportunities for locals, and so the majority of our professional guides and 100% of our porters are born and raised in the area of travel. This gives us and our clients confidence that our professional guides know the trail like the back of their hands, and have very good relationships with the locals. We are EXPERTS and you can TRUST us! - Our young team specializes in restricted area trekking, serving around 200 clients per year. Additionally, our professional senior guides have each more than 8 to 10 years of experience in high-altitude trekking. - All our guides hold a professional license from the government of Nepal and undergo annual training to ensure the safety of our clients, including first aid, emergency evacuation, leadership and trekking skills. We also independently, as a company, regularly check the trails and quality of tea houses ahead of the trekking season. Trust us, we got this! We are MULTI-LINGUAL - Our young (but very experienced) team at NEST speak English fluently.

SAFETY always comes first - The safety of our client is always our priority. We ensure our professional guides are knowledgeable with first aid and emergency situations. - We also do not tolerate harassment or bullying of any form in our company. Our guides are assessed individually by clients after each trek and feedback are shared confidentially with our team leaders. Clients' health and success rate with NEST - In order to keep track of the client's health condition, especially in high elevation, our guides are trained to use a medical device called "Pulse Oximeter". This device allows us to keep track of the daily blood oxygen level and heart rate by clients. Before reaching a high altitude, our guide will advise if the clients require more days to acclimatize or if they are ready to trek further. Our guides are also well-equipped to provide first aid in an emergency situation. Guide and Porter - Guides and porters at NEST are required to wear proper hiking gears needed for the high altitude trek. The team meets ahead of the trekking season for the necessary training including the required gears. - Each guide and porter represents NEST Adventure. Some of our guides are not just a guide; you will be surprised that they are more than that! Some are drone pilots, videographers, photographers, video editors, storytellers, and some of them are magicians and comedians! - We are a family at NEST and we take care of our guides and porters. All of the NEST crew are well-insured and in emergency situations we also ensure their safety!
