Nepal Social Treks & Expedition

A Kathmandu agency built around Himalayan travel

Nepal Social Treks & Expedition operates from Paknajol, Kathmandu, and traces its beginnings to 2006. Its corporate information gives an address at DRS Bhawan near the Thamel district and describes the business as a trekking and mountaineering agency. In 2026 it published a post marking its twentieth anniversary, reinforcing that local history. The offer combines adventure and leisure trips in Nepal with departures to neighboring countries, so travelers can find both a multi-day trek and a cultural extension abroad. The company is aimed at visitors looking for local coordination of itineraries with several components.

Routes in Everest, Annapurna and other regions

The catalogue lists programmes for Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, Kanchenjunga, Mustang and more remote regions. Products include Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit, routes around Tilicho Lake, Poon Hill, Manaslu Circuit, Langtang Valley and treks in Upper Mustang, Nar Phu or Dolpo. Peak climbs and mountain expeditions are also offered. Duration and difficulty vary widely: a short viewpoint walk does not require the same training, permits or preparation as a high-altitude trek or technical expedition. The site publishes durations, prices and itineraries, which should be reviewed before requesting a booking.

A wider menu of activities

Nepal Social Treks also advertises city and cultural tours, rafting, safaris, mountain flights, helicopter trips, mountain biking, canyoning, yoga and meditation. Its activity pages include day outings in the Kathmandu Valley, routes toward Nagarkot and Chisapani, heritage visits and nature trips. The international catalogue lists Bhutan, Tibet and India as well as Nepal. This range can suit visitors who want to combine time in Kathmandu with a short hike, safari or multi-destination journey. Products may not all be delivered in the same way; travelers should confirm providers, transfers and inclusions for every component.

Local guides and coordination

The company says it works with trained guides experienced in trekking, mountaineering and cultural tours. Its website describes safety, environmental protection and local knowledge as operating principles and offers programmes for different durations and budgets. The terms page states that tours are operated by Nepal Social Treks and Expedition in Kathmandu and sets out reservation and payment rules. These documents help travelers understand who is responsible for a package and when participation is confirmed. Ask for a written itinerary, cost breakdown, cancellation terms and response plan for changes or emergencies.

What the reviews add

Public comments consulted suggest that experiences can depend heavily on the route and assigned team. Some travelers praise guide service, organization and comfortable arrangements; others mention itinerary changes or the need for clear information about the risks of high-altitude journeys. That distinction matters especially for programmes such as Kailash, where acclimatization and physical preparation are critical. The matching Tripadvisor page displayed 4.9 out of 5 from 582 reviews when checked on October 23, 2026. Reviews are individual accounts: before booking, travelers should ask directly about safety, support, permits and alternatives if conditions change.

Choosing among the programmes

First-time visitors to Nepal can compare a Kathmandu cultural tour with a short Chisapani-Nagarkot hike or a classic multi-day route. Experienced trekkers can review Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Mustang or climbing itineraries. For another country, the company lists programmes in Bhutan, Tibet and India. Selection should account for days on the route, maximum altitude, permits, transport, nights, meals, guide, porters and insurance. A published price alone is not enough to compare two products: check each listing’s inclusions and confirm whether flights, admissions or special fees are charged separately.

Kathmandu as a meeting point

The Paknajol office is the company’s contact base before departures to the mountains and can be useful for meetings, questions and trip preparation. It is not necessarily the pickup point for every tour; the company should confirm the schedule, vehicle and exact departure location. Nepal Social Treks publishes phone, email, social channels and travel catalogues, and provides written booking terms. The combination of mountain routes and city visits can fit both a short stay and a regional itinerary, provided the selected programme matches the traveler’s time and preparation.
