We don't sell trips
AroundTrail is a guide. Everything here — the trails, the monasteries, the festival dates, the day-by-day planning tools — is meant to help you work out what a trip should look like, and it is free and always will be.
But planning and arranging are different jobs. Permits, guides, transport on roads that change with the season, a phone number that answers when something goes wrong at altitude — that needs someone on the ground.
Shambala Travels
For travellers who want a trip arranged rather than self-planned, we work with Shambala Travels, who arrange travel in Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet — the same three countries AroundTrail covers on this side of the Himalaya.
Visit Shambala TravelsHow this works: we earn nothing from this. There is no commission, no per-enquiry fee and no paid placement — it is a recommendation, not an advertisement. Your arrangements are between you and Shambala Travels; AroundTrail is not a party to them.
Travelled with them, or with someone else you would recommend? Tell us how it went — who we point people at should depend on that.
