about us

spacer
spacer
Khumbi-Ila Mountaineering and trekking derives its name from the sacred mountain, holy to all the sherpas, that overlooks the village of Khumjung in the Everest region. Like our namesake, we have a proud history of organizing treks, expeditions, tours and rafting in various parts of the Himalayas. With more than two decades of experience in the Himalayas, we organize trips in all parts of Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Ladakh and Sikkim in India. The Himalayas has always been our specialty and we are committed to sharing the essence of the Himalayas – its culture, people, vastness and timelessness – and an experience that guarantees adventure, personal satisfaction and self-discovery.

Since water is essential while traveling at such high altitudes we advise our clients to carry sturdy water bottles so that they can fill them up with hot water that is treated with water purifiers. As a part of our responsible tourism drive we use local guides and locally owned hotels (wherever possible) so that the people can earn income from direct employment or through the distribution of work responsibility.
