Mission Statement for Soul Himalaya Treks Nepal:
Community and Environmental Stewardship:
We are committed to giving back to the communities and ecosystems that enrich our journeys. A portion of our proceeds is allocated towards community development and environmental conservation initiatives. Upholding the fundamental right to education, we actively engage in community-level initiatives to support the well-being of young students, as evidenced in our collaboration with international trekkers at Patle School (Read our blog for further insights). Recognizing the intrinsic link between nature and tourism, we advocate for the humane treatment of street dogs and elephants, combatting exploitation and championing compassion towards all living beings.
We proudly support a range of impactful projects aimed at making a positive difference in various spheres.
While the increasing curiosity of human beings to travel and explore new places is certainly a good thing, sometimes, their actions can have devastating repercussions on the environment. We stay at a place for only a couple of weeks, but the impacts of our actions stay on the environment of that place for a long period of time. The increasing popularity of tourism has brought an increase in the threat to the environment and the surroundings.
It all started in 2021, during a trek to Everest Base Camp when the three, along with Sarki Sherpa, a Tour Leader and Co-founder of Soul Himalaya Treks & Tours, Kathmandu, came up with the initiative to help the students of Patle. "On our trek, we learned that often children in Sarki's home village of Patle, Okhaldhunga, cannot get to school as they have no warm outerwear," said Kathleen McCabe. "It was heartbreaking to understand that some of the children walk over two hours each way to class, and without warm clothing, and facing cold, wind and snow, they simply can't attend school."
Tourism allows us to explore unexpected destinations, encounter new experiences, and delve into the unique way of life of people. Although we might eventually have to depart from our travel destinations, it is important to realize that there are communities that live there, whose lives can be impacted by our actions. At SoulHimalaya, we recognize that our journeys leave footprints, and we' re dedicated to ensuring that these footprints lead to positive change. Keeping this in mind, we constantly work to bring a difference in the lives of the communities that we encounter on our journey.
We are delighted to announce the recent successful initiatives aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for children in the Far West Dolpo region.

A good leader is a vital factor for every prosperous trip. "Each leader can be an extraordinary; however every guide can't be an incredible leader". Consistently, Soul Himalaya puts every single staff for preparing consistently, which makes the perfect training. Without the leadership abilities and legitimate preparing, a guide can't settle on the perfect choice at the perfect time. This is vital, particularly in the mountains since you don't have the opportunity to think and talk with the workplace as some of the time the correspondence gets untrustworthy in the far off regions and the guides should take brief choices and react appropriately.
Travelling in the wild don't ensure wellbeing if upheld with emergency treatment information we must be prepared. There are no clinics or wellbeing focuses in each spot in the mountains. Our exceptionally proficient guides are WFR&WFA trained, during crises in the mountains until taking a debilitated climber back to the closest medical clinic or to the city. Guides treat from their broad first aids clinical pack, which is compulsorily to be conveyed by the leader or guide on all trips.
The main view is to provide best service with safety. We don't compromise your safety at any expense in the mountains, which is essential. It is really sad where most of cheap operators fool around with traveller’s life. We have a ZERO DEATH record on our over five years of activity, why? A guide needs to settle on the perfect choice at the perfect time, so they have the right to be prepared on High Altitude where we have professional guides. It is phenomenal concerning when or where the requirement for clearing emerges while journeying or moving in the high mountains where there are no health posts or street availability in the crisis to take back to the city's emergency clinic. There is no other option, aside from salvage and departure via air emergency vehicle, which is exceptionally problematic to sort out during the high season. Soul Himalaya has Helicopter services when required, we can arrange one promptly to protect and save your life.
Yes, we are fully authorized by the government to conduct any kinds of activities relating to trekking and traveling. All of our guides are licensed and experienced mountain guides.
