Our Story: From Guide to Founder, a Himalayan Journey

Connecting Travelers with the Himalayas Since 2010

Since 2010, Touch The Himalaya has been helping travelers experience the beauty, culture, and adventure of the Himalayan region through authentic, locally guided journeys. Founded in Kathmandu, Nepal, we have grown from a small trekking company into a trusted adventure travel operator serving thousands of travelers from around the world.

Our philosophy is simple: combine local expertise, personalized service, responsible tourism, and genuine hospitality to create unforgettable travel experiences across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and the sacred Mount Kailash region.

Our Story

Touch The Himalaya was founded by Madan Neupane, an experienced trekking guide whose passion for the Himalayas inspired him to create a company dedicated to authentic mountain travel.

Having spent years leading expeditions through Nepal's most spectacular landscapes, Madan understood that great journeys are built on more than beautiful scenery. They require knowledgeable local guides, careful planning, reliable logistics, cultural understanding, and a genuine commitment to every traveler.

These principles continue to shape Touch The Himalaya today. More than 15 years later, Madan remains actively involved in planning, operations, and quality assurance, ensuring every trip reflects the same values on which the company was founded.
