01 / Our Heritage & Story
Rooted Here. Ready to Go Further.
Shailung Trails & Trekking was founded in Kathmandu with one belief: the best Himalayan journeys begin with people who know the trails personally. From Nepal's high passes to the cultural landscapes of India and Bhutan, we create thoughtful expeditions grounded in local insight, realistic pacing, and genuine human connection.
“The mountain is never just a destination. It is a place, a community, and a responsibility.”
— The Shailung team, Kathmandu
