Trekking in the Himalayas carries responsibility — to the mountains, the environment, and the people who call these regions home. Community-based trekking ensures that adventure and sustainability go hand in hand.

Sandakphu & Beyond was founded on this principle. Born in Maney Bhanjang, we believe that the best mountain experiences are guided by those who belong here. Our local-first approach creates meaningful impact while delivering safer and richer journeys for trekkers.

What Community-Based Trekking Means:

Local guides with deep terrain and weather knowledge

Employment for village porters, drivers, and homestay owners

Reduced environmental impact through responsible travel

Preservation of cultural heritage and traditional livelihoods

Our trekking routes, accommodation choices, and daily pace are designed to respect both nature and people. We encourage slow travel — allowing trekkers to absorb the landscape while minimizing strain on the ecosystem.

When you trek with Sandakphu & Beyond, your journey supports local communities, strengthens sustainable tourism, and helps protect the fragile beauty of the Singalila Ridge.

Because the Himalayas are not just a destination — they are a living landscape, and they deserve to be experienced with care.
