Nepal has dozens of agencies that can sell you a Mardi trek; a handful of them can run the climb. The honest difference is a tighter focus, smaller groups, real-time rescue support, and a price that does not move after the deposit. Below: six reasons, written in plain English, with the credentials behind them.
We are a Kathmandu-registered company led by CEO Amrit Nepal, focused on the Annapurna region and the Mardi Himal trek and 5,587 m climb. From your first enquiry to the airport drop-off you deal with the same team, by name, on WhatsApp. No booking-platform middleman, no reassignments, no ticket numbers.
We are a government-registered Nepali trekking company (Reg. No. 122485/070/071, VAT 601874886), licensed by the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and a member of the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN), where we also sit on the executive committee. Climbing trips run under Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) accreditation. Guides and porters are selected and trained in-house, not subcontracted at the trailhead.
The price on the booking page is the price on the invoice. Permits, transport, lodging, meals, guide and porter fees are inside the bracket; international flights, Nepal visa, personal climbing kit (rentable in Pokhara), and tips are outside. No fuel surcharges, no peak-season uplift after the deposit, no surprise costs at the end.
We run Mardi Himal as a small-group trip, not a mass departure. That means a real guide-to-trekker ratio, time to acclimatise at your own pace, and a lead who knows your dietary needs and altitude history before you land in Kathmandu. Private and family departures are available on request.
We pack out our litter, source local food where we can, and brief every group on the Annapurna Conservation Area rules and Gurung village etiquette. The permit fees you pay go back into protecting the trail and supporting the communities that live along it.
We build the itinerary around safe acclimatisation, and we require travel insurance that covers helicopter evacuation. If something goes wrong at altitude, our Kathmandu office runs a 24-hour line and coordinates the rescue and the receiving clinic with your insurer. The detail is on the booking policy.
We run small-group trips from Pokhara every Saturday from September to May. We also run private trips any day. A $50 deposit holds your place. Pay the rest on arrival in cash or by card.
