 The Explore Nepal

 

description: established in 1993 The Explore Nepal is a genuine ecotourism organization operating culture tours, trekking, rafting, canoeing, bird watching, wild life Safaris, spiritual and well being activities. We have also designed special tours in Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim & Darjeeling.

emphasis on quality- the Explore Nepal is the leading up-market ecotourism operator in Nepal and offering quality holidays. Without being luxury, our own properties provide you with comfort and the true Nepali character. In the cities, we use the best available hotels, chosen for their character, convenience and general quality. On the field, in places where there aren't any hotels, we generally sleep in tents or special lodges which are a part of the experience! We also use private transport, provide excellent equipment and well trained staff. In all our tours, we try and maximize the use of local products and employ local people. In the trekking routes, we take back all the generated waste back to Kathmandu for proper disposal.

tailor made tours - in addition to our suggested standard tours, we provide tailor made tours in order to better match your own individual taste and desires. We indeed can arrange special itineraries according to your budget, length of stay in the region, or special requirements.

 

group size  - all our groups are small, with minimum and maximum group sizes. The maximum size varies from 2 to 15. We feel that small groups provide a better experience, and are also essential to preserve the integrity of the places that we visit.

 

our staff - besides being very experienced, all our staff is also very sensitive to the environmental conservation and invests their own time in our various campaigns. But above all, they are very friendly, know the country very well and will show you the true Nepal . We have experienced culture guides who have been working for more than 20 years. The Explore Nepal is a pioneer in bird-watching in Nepal and hence, our wildlife and birding specialists are the first wildlife guides to work in this area.

responsible tourism policy - since the beginning, The Explore Nepal Group has tried, both with in its properties as well as outside in the Nepali society, to minimize its environmental, social and cultural impacts, and maximize its economical benefits to people and local communities.

 

The Explore Nepal ever since its inception has been active in environmental and cultural preservation in Nepal and run various successful campaigns

 

-          clean up of major cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu like Swayambhunath temple, historic park of Tundikhel.

-          clean up of trekking and mountaineering routes

-          banning of polluting diesel run three wheeler vehicles in Kathmandu
