Find a Licensed Trekking Guide in Nepal
Browse government-licensed local guides, read what trekkers say about them, and message the guide directly. You agree the trek together, and you pay the guide.
Find a Guide You Can Trust
Every guide here has had their licence checked by hand. From there, you deal with them directly — the price, the dates and the cancellation terms included.
Talk Straight to the Guide
Send an enquiry and the guide replies to you. Itinerary, dates and price are agreed between the two of you — no middleman rewriting your trip.
Licensed Guides Only
Every listed guide has had their trekking licence and citizenship documents checked by our team before they appear.
You Pay the Guide
The price, the deposit and the cancellation terms are agreed with your guide. xTrekka takes no cut of a trek you arrange directly, and refunds of that money are settled with them.
Permits Handled
Conservation permits, restricted-area access and regional passes — your licensed guide knows the paperwork and sorts it with you before you fly.
Trekking Regions of Nepal
xTrekka lists 34 treks across 7 regions, from gentler routes such as Sikles Trek (highest point 2,546 m) to high-pass crossings such as Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek (5,755 m). Every trek page has a day-by-day itinerary with overnight altitudes, the best months to go, and permit fees in rupees with an approximate dollar figure. When you have picked a route, contact a licensed guide who works there and agree the plan with them directly.
