Trekking in Nepal

Top 5 Reasons to Trek Nepal with Exodus

1. Experience
With over 40 years’ experience operating treks in Nepal, we’re industry leaders. We use that experience to meticulously design our Nepal trekking tours to offer the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and breathtaking scenery. We have worked with our family-run local operator for two generations to lead you through iconic trails like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna, ensuring every step is filled with discovery and wonder. Our in-house experts have also created a Nepal Destination Guide, channeling their vast experience in the region to answer your questions and help you prepare for your Himalayan trek.

2.Safety
Your safety is paramount to us. We offer one of the highest guide-to-client ratios of any Nepal trekking tours, with at least one member of staff to four clients. We conduct regular safety assessments, provide top-of-the-line equipment, and employ experienced guides trained in emergency response. On high-altitude treks, we carry Portable Altitude Chambers – known as PAC bags – to treat altitude sickness, if needed. Your safety is our utmost concern, and we take every measure to ensure a secure and worry-free trekking experience in the Himalayas.

3.Quality  
From the moment you book your Nepal adventure with Exodus, our dedicated team is here to ensure every aspect of your journey is seamless and stress-free. From pre-trip preparations to on-the-ground assistance, we go above and beyond to provide unparalleled support, allowing you to focus on the magic of the mountains. Our knowledgeable guides and impressive standard of tea houses, camping equipment and food have won each of our Everest treks a rating of 4.5 stars or above.

4.Valued Guides
We have some of the most exceptional and experienced guides in Nepal, many of whom have been working with us for 20 years or more. Our guides are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love for Nepal. With their expertise, you’ll gain deeper insights into the region’s history, traditions, and natural wonders, enriching your trekking experience with unforgettable stories and meaningful interactions.

5.Responsible Tourism
As pioneers in sustainable and responsible tourism, Exodus is committed to minimizing our environmental impact and supporting local communities. Our Nepal trekking trips adhere to strict eco-friendly practices, promoting conservation efforts and contributing to the well-being of local people along the way. Our projects include the installation of over 50 solar cookers in tea houses and villages, as well as support of the Nava Kiran orphanage in Kathmandu and the Esther Benjamins Trust.

How physically fit do I need to be to complete the trek?

We offer a variety of treks in Nepal. Check the activity rating of the tour prior to booking and review your trip notes for details on trekking distances and altitude gains and use this as a reference on how to prepare. A good level of fitness is recommended for trekking in Nepal, as many of our tours in this region involve long days of walking and altitude gains. Trekkers should be prepared for physical exertion and be able to walk for several hours each day. For more details on how to prepare, check your trip notes and our fitness guide.

What gear and equipment do I need to bring for the trek?

Appropriate footwear and sun protection are essential on all Nepal treks. Additionally, duffle bags or soft kit bags are required for the porters to carry on many of our treks, and there are often weight limits in place for the regional flights. Check your trip notes and, if embarking on an Everest trip, review our Everest Region Kit List for more detailed and specific packing information. By ensuring you have the necessary gear and equipment and following packing guidelines, you’ll be well-prepared to embark on the unforgettable journey to Nepal while staying comfortable and safe throughout the trek.
