Dear Nepal Travelers, Let me take the opportunity to introduce myself and my company.

Binod Mahat – I am an independent tour operator and guide with many years of experience in organizing and guiding for individual and group itineraries for all of the popular trekking tour destinations in Nepal. Born in the lap of the mid level region of Annapurna Himalayas, in central Nepal I’ve spent years exploring the remote mountains villages, the country’s unique culture and people’s lifestyle’s of Nepal. When I started in this profession I worked as a porter. Two years later in 1995, I trained with “Pokhara Tourism Training Center (PTTC)” and “His Majesty of Cultural Tourism Civil Aviation (HMCTCV)” in Kathmandu to become a professional government licensed guide. Now I have teamed up with my genuine/expert professionals’ friends and I take great pride in my all supporting friends for their caring attitude, knowledge and abilities to explain the rich. Being ecologically sensitive tour operator and guide I specialize in presenting Nepal in a way that works best for my clients.

A little history about Hike Nepal Ltd:

The best record of my previous clients and long experience in trekking the Nepal Himalayas led me to conceive the idea of establishing a Government Licensed Trekking Agency named Hike Nepal Ltd. Hike Nepal is an independent trekking and tour company owned and operated by myself ( Binod Mahat). I personally escort all treks and tours specializing in small group and tailor made trip to the Nepal Himalayas including. I have passions in exploring this magical planet we live in and especially in trekking and hiking the Himalayas. The 12 years of experience and knowledge of the Himalayas have prepared me to respond to many difficult situations, should they arise . This short list goes a long way in providing you with a memorable trip.

Why you SHOULD consider travel with Hike Nepal?

At your service, even at the initial contacts
As an independent trekking and tour company, I often travel on my own trips. That enables me to have direct contacts with my customers and provide them with the latest, up-to-date field knowledge. While at the same time taking the opportunity to seek for feedback to further improve the quality of my services. I have put our heart and soul, even our sweat in every trip that I run. Since I, myself am a tour operator and guide, I strongly believe that our friendships begin with our initial contacts. The emails we exchange in preparation for the trip allow us to learn about one another prior to our meeting. Upon your arrival, we will already know something about each other, that we will not begin our adventure together as complete strangers.

And for that matter, please rest assured that our guides, porters and other supporting staff will be fairly paid. The expenses you paid will go fairly and directly to the them, even the local community. It also means saving your hard earned cash, which can be better used for your trekking expenses.
