BEYOND NEPAL
Nepal is the beginning. We take you to what lies beyond.
Nepal Is the Beginning. Here's What Comes Next.
Most guests come to Nepal for two weeks and leave wishing they had more time. We built these journeys for them. Each one starts in the Himalayas and moves outward into Tibet's plateau monasteries, Bhutan's sacred valleys, or India's ancient pilgrimage trails.
Same standard of care. Same private guiding. A region that suddenly feels much larger.

Not every guest wants a fixed route. Some want Nepal, followed by a week in Bhutan. Others want to end at Varanasi for reasons that are personal. Whatever the shape of the journey, we build it around you, privately guided, fully handled, no two the same.
What Makes a SherpaHolidays Journey Different From Every Other Nepal Trip?
We don't send you to Nepal. We take you there ourselves with forty years of mountain knowledge, family connections across every province, and a standard of care that no booking platform can replicate.
Local Himalayan Experts
Our guides were born in these mountains. They know which passes flood in spring, which teahouses are worth stopping at, and when to turn back. That knowledge isn't trained, it's inherited.
Curated Seasonal Itineraries
Every journey we build is timed around a specific weather window, a specific trail condition, a specific light. We've been reading Nepal's seasons for decades. The itinerary you receive reflects that.
Authentic Cultural Immersion
Our family has relationships in villages that haven't appeared in any guidebook. When you travel with us, doors open that simply don't open for other visitors. That's not a claim, ask our guests.
Safety-First Adventure
We have guided guests at 8,000 meters, and we have guided guests who'd never hiked a day in their lives. Our acclimatization protocols, emergency procedures, and medical preparedness are built for both and everyone in between.
Things Guests Ask Before Booking a Beyond Nepal Journey.
-
Yes, and they vary by country. Nepal's visa is available on arrival for most nationalities. Tibet requires a special Tibet Travel Permit, arranged through us it cannot be obtained independently through us. Bhutan requires a Bhutan visa, which we handle as part of the booking process. India requires a tourist visa applied for in advance. We
walk every guest through exactly what's needed for their specific journey, well before departure. -
Every Beyond Nepal journey we offer can be adjusted in duration, pace, accommodation tier, specific sites, and rest days. If none of our fixed routes match what you have in mind, we can build a multi-country itinerary from scratch. That's not an upsell, it's actually how most of our returning guests book.
-
Flights from your home country to Kathmandu are not included, as these vary
significantly by departure city, and we want you to book what works for your schedule and budget. All regional flights within the journey, Kathmandu to Lhasa, Kathmandu to Paro, and so on, are included unless your itinerary specifies otherwise. We'll confirm every included and excluded flight clearly before you book. -
Autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are the strongest
windows for most multi-country journeys. That said, each destination has its own rhythm. Tibet is best visited before the summer rains, Bhutan has a spring festival season worth planning around, and India's north is at its finest from October through February. When you book with us, we advise on the exact timing based on where you're going and what you want to see. -
In Nepal, your journey is led entirely by our Sherpa team. In Bhutan, Tibet, and India, we work with trusted local guides who meet our standard people we've partnered with for years, who know their regions the way our Sherpas know the Himalayas. You will always have someone beside you who actually knows where they are.
-
We handle everything: permits, accommodations, inter-country transfers, regional flights, border crossings, and on-the-ground coordination in each country. The only thing you arrange independently is your international flight to Kathmandu. From the moment you land, it's ours to manage.
