Our story
Locally owned. Mountain born.
Nepal Heaven began with one Sherpa guide, one borrowed office in Lazimpath and a conviction that Nepal deserved better travel.
Mission
Travel that leaves Nepal better than it found it
We exist to give travellers an unfiltered, well-supported experience of the Himalaya while ensuring the people who make it possible are paid, insured and respected.
Vision
The most trusted name in Himalayan travel
Not the largest operator in Nepal — the one travellers recommend without hesitation and guides most want to work for.
The story
Pemba Sherpa grew up in Khumjung at 3,790 m, carrying loads to Base Camp before he was twenty and summiting Everest six times before he was forty. In 2011 he stopped climbing for other companies and started one of his own.
Fifteen years later, Nepal Heaven has hosted more than ten thousand travellers across 250 curated journeys. Every guide on the team is licensed, insured and paid above the industry standard.
