What to Expect
If you dream of the spectacular Himalayas, if you want in-depth connection with people and insight into history, religion, tradition, art, politics, and more, then join me and our in-country team for an unforgettable experience in Nepal or Bhutan.
Destinations & Itineraries
We offer hikes and treks in Bhutan and Nepal, specializing in a blend of adventure, cultural connection, comfort, challenge, classic highlights of the country, off-the-beaten path exploration, and most especially, authentic experiences with local people. Where there are hotels, we will be in comfortable and clean accommodations. Where there are no hotels, we will have a fully supported camp with a local team to cook, set tents, and take care of us. We strive to balance adventure and exploration with comfort and ease.

Logistics & Support
Greeting you upon arrival, we ensure that every aspect of your trip runs smoothly. Our trips are fully-supported, meaning that we include porters, pack animals, kitchen staff, tent setup, private vehicles, and other support as needed so that you can relax and enjoy your adventure!
We help prepare you for your travel in challenging places with detailed information, packing lists, and answers to all your questions. We utilize comfortable accommodations while still venturing into more rustic areas at times. Hiking ranges from moderate to strenuous, depending on the trip, but we always have time to rest, take photos, stop for tea, and interact with locals.
Health & Safety
Your health and safety, as well as that of our support team, is always a priority. From COVID-conscious practices to high-altitude adjustment, we plan for your safety and are always adjusting to on-the-ground realities. We work closely with our local operators to plan emergency contingencies and ensure safe evacuation options in the event they are necessary.
Guide & Group
Traveling with a small group through extreme landscapes and exotic cultures allows you both flexibility and camaraderie. We keep our group size small for entering homes, monasteries, and temples with ease. Our clients invariably make the travel more fun as they bring interesting perspectives and enthusiasm to the group.
As your guide, Deana Zabaldo is passionate about the people, culture, and history of Nepal. She will show you the country in a way that few people experience while ensuring a comfortable, enjoyable, and engaging journey!
Ethical Travel
Concerned about the heritage and the future of Nepal and Bhutan, we are committed to ethical travel–including cultural and environmental preservation—as well as philanthropy throughout the year. Visit Changing Lives Nepal to learn more about how we support women, children, and farmers in Nepal to create a better future for themselves.
