“Absolutely life-changing!”

“Mingma and his staff are fantastic people. For a work trip, I went to Nepal twice within a few months, and thanks to the excellent organization I had an unforgettable experience, visiting both the most famous places and the less touristy ones. Mingma is able to provide you with a lot of information and quickly find whatever you need, moreover, he is a cheerful, reliable person full of positive energy. I highly recommend him!”

“Best trek and companion!”

“Karmaia took care of us from the start during Nepal Revolution day until reaching the Annapurna Base Camp and back to Kathmandu. They where amazingly dedicated to our wellness and presented us the best trekking I have ever done. Besides, they prepared the final rest in an incredible hotel at Pokhara, and the last day they arranged a fantastic cultural tour through Kathmandu.”

“Truly a Journey to Remember!”

“We have visited Nepal twice before and Mingma brilliantly organised both trips for us. We can’t recommend him highly enough! He thought of everything from our arrival in Kathmandu, arranging all the logistics for our treks and then a more relaxed break in other beautiful areas of Nepal, before organising onward travel to India. Both visits were perfect and we will remember them forever.”

“Karmaia Adventures Made Our Dream Trip a Reality”

“Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of our lives. The trip to Nepal was fantastic. The Karmaia Adventures team had planned our entire route perfectly. Mingma introduced us to Nepalese culture and cuisine, told us about the school system, the humility of the people, and how happy they are there. Everyone always has a smile on their face; it's admirable and impressive. As the days go by, that joy and zest for life becomes contagious. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for the best trip of our lives. It was magnificent to experience Nepal with you. We will never forget it. In short, I think it's a trip everyone should take at least once in their life (we'll definitely do it again in a few years), and of course, we would do it a million more times, always with you. Namaste Karmaia Adventures, you're amazing, Mingma! I'm sure we'll meet again. 100% recommended.”

“A Great Experience with the Team at Karmaia”

“If someone had told me a month ago that I'd be climbing to Everest Base Camp with the best guide in all of Nepal (Chiring), Porter (Raldan), and my sister, I wouldn't have believed it. It was all possible thanks to Karmaia. They organized everything perfectly and super fast. If you're looking for a unique experience, count on them; you won't regret it. When you're on the summit of Kalapathar watching the sunrise, you'll be so glad you chose Nepal for your vacation. Danebat 😊”

“Walk, Relax, and Enjoy- Karmaia Handles the Rest”

“I'd be lying if I said anything, no matter how small, didn't work as it should. Everything was absolutely perfect. Lakpa, our guide, and Bire, our porter, who are truly amazing, made our trek an extraordinary experience. I can't recommend KARMAIA ADVENTURES enough to anyone who wants a truly rewarding experience and doesn't want to worry about anything other than walking.”

FAQs

Everything You Need
To Know

Electricity is available in most villages, though often from solar power. Charging usually incurs a small fee, especially at higher altitudes. Wi-Fi is available on popular routes, though the connection can be slow and unreliable. In remote areas, expect limited or no internet access. Carrying a power bank or solar charger is highly recommended.

Teahouses are local lodges along trekking trails that provide meals and accommodation. Facilities vary by region. In popular routes (Everest, Annapurna), teahouses offer private rooms, hot showers, Wi-Fi, and varied menus. In remote treks (Manaslu, Kanchenjunga), they are more basic, often with shared rooms, simple Nepali meals (dal bhat, noodles), and limited electricity.

Altitude sickness can affect anyone above 2,500m. The golden rule is to ascend gradually, hydrate well, and take acclimatisation days. Symptoms like headache, nausea, or dizziness should never be ignored descend if they worsen. On popular treks (Everest, Annapurna), there are basic medical posts and clinics. In remote areas, facilities are limited, so carrying altitude medication (Diamox, if advised by your doctor) and travel insurance with emergency evacuation is highly recommended.

Permit requirements depend on the region:

  • TIMS Card (Trekkers’ Information Management System): Required for most trekking regions.
  • National Park or Conservation Area Entry Permits: For example, Annapurna Conservation Area (ACAP) or Sagarmatha National Park entry.
  • Restricted Area Permits: Required for special regions like Manaslu, Upper Mustang, Dolpo, or Kanchenjunga.
  • Permits can usually be arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara through the Nepal Tourism Board, Department of Immigration, or via your trekking agency (the easiest option).

The Nepalese government requires international travellers to hire local guides when visiting national parks and trekking regions. Porters are available to carry heavier luggage, allowing you to trek comfortably with just a daypack.
