Based in Kathmandu, Nepal, we are more than just a trekking company; we are a team deeply passionate about sharing the beauty of our homeland while ensuring every journey leaves a positive footprint.

Our Story & Philosophy

Good Karma Trekking was founded by Mr. Nabraj Ghimire, a visionary with decades of firsthand experience in the Nepalese mountains and a profound understanding of local cultures. His journey from the foothills of the Annapurna mountains to establishing Good Karma Trekking is rooted in a desire to offer authentic, responsible, and enriching travel experiences across the diverse landscapes of Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and select regions of India and Pakistan.
