Meet Our Founder
The man who plans your trek started at the very bottom
Bimal wasn't born into the mountains. He left home and worked behind a sink washing dishes in a Kathmandu hotel. Years later, he went on to guide trekkers through the Himalayas and build Happyland Treks. But the real story isn't about reaching Everest—it's about the journey that got him there.
Can we trust his work?
Hear It From Those Who Walked With Us
Bimal has been walking these trails since he was a teenager, first as a porter, later as a guide. But you don’t have to take our word for any of it. Watch what our trekkers say.
What did he build?
A Trekking Company With A Different Idea Of Success
Bimal never wanted a company that just moved people up a mountain. He wanted one that paid its guides well, showed trekkers the Nepal he actually grew up in, and left something behind in the villages along the way.

What will it feel like?
The Moments You Take Home
The mountains are the reason people come. What they talk about afterward is usually the teahouse dining room in Dingboche, everyone crowded around the stove, comparing blisters with strangers from four countries.
Do other people trust them?
Thousands Of Journeys. Countless Stories.
Bimal started as a porter, carrying other people’s loads up the same trails he now guides. Fifteen years later he’s running the company.

Everything You Want To Know Before You Go
The questions people actually email us, answered properly. If yours isn’t here, ask — we answer every message ourselves.
This is one of the most common planning questions because the best season depends on whether the traveler wants trekking, sightseeing, or wildlife experiences.
Nepal is generally considered safe for travelers, though standard precautions still apply, especially for transport, trekking, and local conditions.
What do they stand for?
The Mountains Gave Us A Living. We Give Something Back.
The trail runs through villages that make this work possible. Three percent of what we earn goes back into them — meals for elderly residents, clean water, school supplies for kids in government schools.
What about my trip?
Your Trek. Your Way.
Most companies sell you a fixed departure and hope it fits. Tell us your dates and how many days you've got, and we'll send back an itinerary built around them — free, and you're not committing to anything by asking.
