About Hairy Yak Adventures

With over seven years of professional experience in the Himalayan terrain, we specialize in high-altitude logistics, peak climbing, and customized cultural expeditions. Our mission is to bridge the gap between adventurous global travelers and the untouched beauty of the Nepalese mountains.
Our team consists of certified experts who understand the nuances of the Nepal Tourism Board regulations and safety protocols. We don't just sell packages; we curate life-changing experiences. Whether you are looking for a classic Everest Base Camp trek or a remote journey into Upper Dolpo, our focus remains on sustainability and guest safety.
By choosing Hairy Yak, you are supporting a company that reinvests in local training and environmental conservation efforts to keep the Himalayas pristine for future generations.
Partnering with Himalayan Lodge Owners
Lodge owners are the backbone of the "Teahouse Trekking" culture that makes Nepal world-famous. Hairy Yak Adventures maintains strong, ethical partnerships with local lodge owners across the Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang regions. We believe that responsible tourism starts with fair economic distribution.
We work closely with the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN) to ensure our lodge partners meet health and safety standards. Our collaborations guarantee that our clients receive the best hospitality while lodge owners receive fair compensation and consistent business throughout the trekking seasons. This mutual trust allows us to secure the best rooms and services even during the peak months of October and April.
Our Professional Trekking Guides
The success of any Himalayan expedition rests on the shoulders of the guides. At Hairy Yak Adventures, our trekking guides are more than just navigators; they are storytellers, first-aid responders, and cultural ambassadors. Every guide we employ holds a valid license from the Government of Nepal and undergoes regular training in Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) prevention.
We advocate for the rights of mountain workers by adhering to the guidelines set by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations. This includes providing fair wages, insurance, and high-quality gear for our guides and porters. When you trek with us, you are walking with a team that is respected, well-equipped, and deeply knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna, and Buddhist heritage.
International Travel Agents & B2B
We provide comprehensive B2B ground handling services for international travel agents looking to offer Nepal tour packages. Hairy Yak Adventures acts as your reliable local partner, handling everything from airport transfers and permits to domestic flights and emergency evacuations.
Our agency is a proud member of various tourism networks, ensuring we stay updated on the latest visa policies and trekking permit requirements. We offer white-label services, allowing international agencies to provide their clients with a seamless Himalayan experience backed by our local expertise and logistical precision.
Non-Residential Nepali (NRN) Partnerships
The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) plays a crucial role in promoting Nepal’s tourism on the global stage. Hairy Yak Adventures actively collaborates with the NRN community to facilitate "Return to Roots" journeys and heritage tours. We understand the unique perspective of Nepalis living abroad who wish to contribute to their homeland's economy while exploring its natural wonders.
Through these partnerships, we offer specialized discounts and customized itineraries for NRN families and their international friends, fostering a global network of Nepal enthusiasts who advocate for sustainable travel and local investment.
Travelers, Bloggers & Influencers
In the digital age, authentic storytelling is vital for destination awareness. Hairy Yak Adventures welcomes collaborations with travel bloggers, photographers, and influencers who prioritize ethical travel narratives. We offer logistical support for content creators who wish to document the "Real Nepal"—beyond the usual tourist trails.
We encourage our partners to highlight the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Nepal and the importance of eco-friendly trekking. If you have a platform dedicated to adventure, sustainability, or culture, we invite you to reach out for a partnership that benefits both the creator and the local mountain communities.
Destination Promotion & Development
Hairy Yak Adventures works in tandem with Destination Promotion Organizations (DPOs) to market Nepal as a safe, year-round destination. While trekking is our specialty, we also promote Nepal’s diverse offerings, including jungle safaris in Chitwan and paragliding in Pokhara. We are committed to the long-term development of new trekking routes to reduce the pressure on over-visited areas.
By participating in international travel fairs and collaborating with government bodies, we aim to elevate Nepal's status as the world's premier adventure hub. Our goal is to ensure that tourism growth is managed responsibly, preserving the cultural integrity and natural beauty that make Nepal a unique place on Earth.
