Namaste! Welcome to Karnali Excursions, your guide to the 'Journey of a Lifetime!' Experience the diverse customs and cultures of the people of Tibet, Nepal, India and Bhutan, where the highest mountains on earth and the many wild rivers that flow from them enthrall the brave just as much as the timid. We invite you to visit the many pristine forests, as well as the many jungles where diverse plant and wildlife abound,the ancient cities, quaint villages, royal palaces, Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries. that are to be found in this part of the world.
Our focus is to create an Himalayan travel experience that is second to none, that reveal the full unique beauty and wonder of this magical and holy land, that offer adventure and reflection, establish genuine caring connections with its people, that is hassle-free, completely affordable, and that helps support and preserve local environments and cultures. We prefer to tread lightly in the many sensitive areas of this land, always helping to preserve and protect the environment.
We depend on the Himalayas for our livelihood, and we love our land and its people. For these reasons we are committed to supporting the culture and environment by improving the standard of living in the Himalayas through our work. We provide jobs to villagers as we pass through their homeland, educate young people on the importance of using resources wisely, pick up mountain climbers' used oxygen bottles and return them to the city for recycling, fund a village school and library, sponsor children's' education and finance skills training for the blind.
Karnali Excursions was founded on the principles of understanding, respect, caring and leadership. Those who work for us are deeply rooted in this and eager to share their extensive experience and knowledge of local traditions, history, and landmarks. Our guides are committed to taking care of our guests thoughtfully, making sure each person has opportunities to explore their own interests (cultural, scenic, educational), has the level of physical challenge they want and are ready for, and travel in safety and good health.
Our prices are also reasonable as we do not engage in the practice of inflating prices to take advantage of our guests. We love sharing our world with you and invite you to come experience the 'Journey of a Lifetime' in the experienced hands of Karnali Excursions.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your interest in Karnali Excursions, and Namaste!
