A small office in Thamel, Kathmandu, and certified guides on the trail. These are the people you will actually talk to.
Love Himalaya Journey is a new company with an experienced core. Our founder and CEO, Deepak Rimal, has spent more than 20 years inside Nepal's trekking industry, and the guides and lodges we work with come from those relationships.
We keep the team small on purpose. Each person below owns a clear part of your trip, so a question reaches someone who can answer it.
From your first message to the morning you leave for the trailhead, these six people plan, book and prepare every trip.
Founded Love Himalaya Journey after more than 20 years inside Nepal's trekking industry. The guide network and lodge relationships we work with were built by him, and safety decisions stop with him.
Runs our digital marketing and this website, including the route, permit and visa guides you read here. If you found us through search or social media, that was his work.
Handles invoices, payments, deposits and refunds, and keeps our trip costing straight. He also writes many of our practical travel articles.
Plans your trip and makes it work on the ground. He puts together the route, dates and price for your group, then arranges permits, transport and lodges, and checks roads and rooms before a departure goes ahead.
Often the first person to reply when you message us. She keeps every enquiry moving and looks after the records behind guide and porter welfare.
Answers guest messages alongside Nirjala and organises what we share on social media, from trail photos to route updates.
Select a guide for certification, training and profile links. Every article on our blog is checked by one of them before it goes live.
You always know who is handling your trip, and nobody hands you off to a call centre.
The same principles apply in the office and on the trail, whichever trek or tier you choose.
Real inclusions, real limits, real people. If something is not included or not certain, we tell you before you book.
Every guest gets the same duty of care. Safety is never an upgrade you pay extra for.
We plan the ascent around how the body adjusts to altitude, and leave room to take in where you are.
We travel as guests, and only promise the access our team has actually confirmed.
Guide judgement and attention to your group over rigid, factory-style schedules.
Our articles are written by people in the office and checked by a guide before they are published.
Visit us in Kathmandu, or reach the same team from wherever you are.
Tell us the route and dates you have in mind. A member of this team will reply, not an automated form.
