ABOUT US

Shiva Treks & Shiva Holidays, commences the year 2008 with more than 28 years of experience behind it. There was much learned in those years. However, of paramount importance was finding a healthy balance between sustaining the fragile eco-system of those countries in which we operate, whilst continuing to welcome their many visitors.

The principles on which Shiva Treks & Shiva Holidays are founded are simple yet form the backbone of its many successful endeavors. They are Safety, Hygiene & Environment protection.

Years ago, founded this company, seeing the real need and potential for an organisation that could provide top quality tours and travel arrangements for the inbound visitor to Nepal and its neighbour countries. From the start our philosophy has been that high-quality does not belong exclusively to the top-end luxury travel sector. It belongs equally well to the cost-conscious traveller and to anyone seeking the real difference that our region can offer. Now evolved into a well-respected concern, both in Nepal and abroad. The aim is to provide visitors with very kind of viable adventure that the Himalayas can possibly offer.

We started with cultural tours and our ability to adapt our itineraries and arrangements to a wide variety of special interest groups. We grew slowly and carefully, building a reputation and gaining many lifelong friends in the process. You may never have heard of us, but if you are from western Europe, North America or Australasia - we are the Himalayan region suppliers, ground handlers and outfitters for many of the well known adventure and specialised travel companies at home.

Today our main offices, operations base and stores, in Kathmandu's Embassy district, are staffed by 40+ trained specialists and support people. Between them they can speak and conduct business in several foreign languages. We have many regional support and tour staff, each specialists in their own field.

We have outlined the countries in which we operate, and a synopsis of what Shiva Treks and Tours can offer. Further information on any aspect, idea or activity is just a phone call or fax away (from the US and Germany you only need to fax to a domestic number to reach us directly here in Kathmandu). Time zone differences allowing, we can usually respond to your e-mail or fax queries immediately - at the latest overnight.

We are a young, fast growing company interested in all facets of travel trade and hence, are ever adapting to new ideas. We value change so long as it allows us to accommodate the growing needs for more exciting adventures. All this and more we strive to do, yet never compromising on quality. We look to build programs that will include every kind of traveler or adventurer. So we have holidays for juniors and seniors; beginners and professionals; day trippers and thrill seekers; Dionysian's and ascetics - we endeavor to do it all in the best possible way. In Nepal our knowledge and experience makes us reliable and trusty partners. On an adventure with us there will be plenty of all that is good and desirable: magnificent scenery, excellent equipment, knowledgeable guides, delectable food, sturdy vehicles, maximum safety, clean environs and cheerful dispositions.

We all of us look forward to hearing from you.
