// Bespoke Himalayan Trekking

A trek built entirely around your group.

Whether you’re a school planning a life-changing expedition, a charity fundraising in the mountains, a corporate team looking for a genuine shared challenge, or a group of friends finally making that trip happen — CAT will design and deliver a fully bespoke Himalayan trek, on your dates, for your group, within your budget.

No compromise. No off-the-shelf itinerary. Thirty-five years of in-country relationships mean we can take your group somewhere no catalogue ever could — and do it safely, properly, and with the full depth of expertise that comes from being in Nepal since 1989.

“With 35 years of in-country relationships, we can build a trek that no catalogue can offer.”

// Who is this for?

Built for every kind of group

🏫
Schools & Universities

A life-changing educational expedition to the Himalaya. We design academically enriching, physically challenging treks for student groups with full risk management, duty-of-care documentation, and dedicated guide support throughout. DofE expeditions, geography field trips, and character-building adventures.

❤️
Charities & Fundraisers

The Himalaya is one of the world’s great fundraising destinations — and CAT has been running charity treks to Nepal for over 35 years. We understand the specific needs of fundraising groups: transparency on costs, flexibility on group size, and an experience that makes donors proud to have supported it. And your booking supports CAN.

🏢
Corporate Teams

Move beyond the team away day. A guided Himalayan trek builds genuine bonds, shared challenge and lasting memories that no conference room activity ever will. We design experiences within corporate wellness budgets, with all logistics, risk management and insurance support taken care of. Unforgettable and deliverable.

🤝
Friend Groups & Private Parties

You’ve talked about trekking to Everest Base Camp or crossing the Larkya La together for years. We make it happen. Choose your route, pick your dates, and we’ll build the perfect adventure for your group — whatever your pace, budget, or level of ambition. Bring everyone.

🙏
Spiritual & Special Interest Groups

Nepal is one of the world’s most spiritually significant landscapes. We design treks for Buddhist groups, yoga retreats, meditation and mindfulness journeys, and culturally focused expeditions through some of the most sacred terrain on earth. Our Sherpa guides bring a depth of cultural knowledge that no guidebook can replicate.

🌍
Adventure Travel Groups

Travel companies and adventure operators looking for a trusted in-country partner for Nepal. We have operated as a ground handler for 35 years and can support your clients on virtually any trekking route in Nepal. Fully licensed, fully insured, and with an unparalleled network of Sherpa guides and local contacts.

// What’s included

Everything taken care of

Expert Sherpa Guides

Dedicated Sherpa lead guides who know every trail in Nepal. Wilderness First Responder trained, culturally fluent, completely invested in your group’s experience.

Bespoke Itinerary

Designed around your group’s ability, interests, budget and ambitions. Not a template. Every day built specifically for you, drawing on 35 years of route knowledge.

All Permits & Logistics

National park fees, restricted area permits, conservation area permits, Kathmandu accommodation, all transfers and the 4WD drive to the trailhead. Handled entirely by us.

Your Dates

No fixed departures. We work entirely around your group’s schedule. School holidays, charity event calendars, corporate planning cycles — we fit around you.

Full Porterage

Your group’s main bags carried by our porter team throughout the trek. Every porter paid a fair wage, properly equipped and insured — a CAT principle since 1989.

Any Route in Nepal

From our established circuits to entirely new routes. Tsum Valley, Dolpo, Kanchenjunga, remote Mustang. If it’s in Nepal, we can get your group there safely.

Community Action Nepal
Every private group trek supports CAN’s work in Nepal

When your group books a private CAT trek, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to Community Action Nepal — the charity founded by Doug Scott CBE that has been building schools, health posts and clean water infrastructure in remote Himalayan communities since 1994. Your group’s adventure makes a genuine difference. That’s something worth telling donors, boards, and students about.
