About FindTrekkingPartner

Cách miễn phí, đặt quyền riêng tư lên hàng đầu để trekker tìm bạn đồng hành ở Nepal.

FindTrekkingPartner is a free, privacy-first platform that helps trekkers in Nepal find compatible partners, form groups and share the cost of guides, porters and private jeeps.

Why we built it

Since April 2023, foreign trekkers need a licensed guide in most of Nepal's national parks and conservation areas, and restricted areas like Manaslu and Upper Mustang require at least two trekkers. That makes trekking alone expensive or impossible, yet finding good partners has meant scrolling old forum threads and noticeboards in Thamel. We wanted a simple, safe way for solo travellers, Nepali weekend hikers, experienced trekkers and first-timers to find each other.

Our principles

  1. Free forever for trekkers. No paywall on any core feature.
  2. Privacy by default. Nothing personal is public unless you turn it on, and contact details are shared only by mutual consent.
  3. Safety first. Clear rules, reporting and blocking on every profile and message, and safety reminders at the moments that matter.
  4. Useful without an account. Region guides, permits, costs and blogs are free to read for everyone.
  5. Ship small, then grow. We launch with the essentials and improve with your feedback.

What we are not

We are not a trekking agency. We do not organise treks, sell packages, verify users or handle money. We encourage everyone to trek with licensed guides and registered agencies, and we never promote illegal solo trekking.

Our region information

Permit fees, costs and itineraries are researched by our team and marked with a "last verified" date. Rules and fees in Nepal change often, so please verify before you go, and use the "Report outdated info" link if you spot something wrong.
