Maira's T&E

Welcome to Maira's Treks and Expeditions, where stories and tales of high-altitude adventures and breathtaking horizons have been turning to reality since 1994. From brushing shoulders with the mightiest peaks on this planet and traversing wind-swept high deserts to taking in the serene beauty of untouched high altitude lakes and mesmerising landscapes, a trip with us is an experience that sticks with you for a lifetime.

Home to the mighty and majestic peaks of the Greater Himalayas, Nepal is, with all her natural beauty and towering splendour, the holy grail of trekking destinations. Across the length and breadth of this magical country lie winding trails, snow-bound high passes, monasteries of tranquil stillness, settlements that feel as if they are at the edge of the world, and through it all, overlooking your every step, are the eternal giants, their peaks shrouded in a swirl of snow, wind and scarcely believable grandeur.

Since 1994, it has been our privilege at Maira's Treks and Expeditions to provide people the means to not only explore nature and her wonders but to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the regions that we visit through ethical and sustainable tourism. Our utmost priority during our treks is safety, with a trained high-altitude paramedic and medical equipment a permanent fixture on all our trips, we also maintain a ratio of clients to professionals that is never out of balance and hence, never leaving anyone without someone to support them in any situation. Whether a climb or a trek, a strict adherence to these safety norms has resulted in an unblemished record that has stood for the last two and a half decades. With our dedication to smiles and safety, we look forward to having you join us on our next adventure.
