About us
Made in Kathmandu, for travelers who want to trust their trip
Why we started
Planning a trip to Nepal from far away is hard. There are hundreds of agencies, prices are hard to compare, and most ask for money upfront before you've met anyone.
TripKathmandu was started in Kathmandu to make that simpler. We carefully choose licensed local partners, show their trips clearly, and let you book without paying anything until your trip is over.
Our trusted local partners host your trip on the ground. We plan and look after it, and we stay in touch with you from the day you book to the day you fly home.
What we stand for
Pay the people who host you
You pay our licensed local partner directly, never a middleman.
Licensed local partners
We only work with registered Nepal companies holding tourism licences.
Honest advice
We tell you when a trip isn't right for your dates, fitness or budget.
Local first
Your money goes to Nepali guides, porters, drivers and lodges.
How we choose our partners
Before a partner can receive bookings, we check the basics that matter most to travelers.
- A registered company with a valid tourism licence
- Licensed guides for treks and tours
- Clear prices, inclusions and cancellation rules
- Feedback from every traveler after each trip
