A small team rooted in the hills of western Nepal, sharing the trails, culture and spirit of Parbat with travelers from around the world — slowly, mindfully, and with deep respect for the land.
Born during lockdown, from a love of these hills
When the world stood still in 2017-2020, our founder — a native of Parbat — spent months walking the ridges and forests of his home district. Trails that locals had walked for generations but travelers had never seen.
From that stillness, Discover Parbat was born. A trekking agency rooted not in a Kathmandu office but in the villages, rhododendron forests, and high ridgelines of Parbat district itself.
"We didn't want to bring trekkers to Nepal. We wanted to bring them to our home — and show them what we see every day."
Every trek we run starts and ends here. Our guides are from these villages. Our teahouses are family-run. When you trek with us, your money stays in the community that built these trails.
All our guides, porters, and teahouse partners are local to Parbat. We exist to strengthen the communities that have shaped these mountains for centuries.
We design treks to move at the pace of the landscape — not to tick summits, but to absorb them. Rest days, acclimatisation, and wonder are built into every itinerary.
Parbat is sacred land. From the temples of Kusma to the high Khayar Lake, we approach every site with the reverence it deserves and share that spirit with our trekkers.
Plastic-free packing, locally sourced meals, and no mass tourism. We cap group sizes and choose routes that let the land breathe between visits.
No call centres. When you write to us, you're talking to the people who will actually walk the trail with you. Small is intentional.
We resist the tourist trail. Our routes pass through villages where travelers are still a novelty and a warm welcome is genuine — because it is.
Born and raised in Parbat, Sameer has walked every ridge in this region. He created Discover Parbat to share his homeland's beauty, and the peaceful authentic trails — with the world.
The mountains that make our work possible are fragile. Every step we take, we take with that in mind. These are the commitments we make to Parbat — and to every traveler who chooses us.
Reusable water bottles and filtered refills at all our teahouses. No plastic bags, no disposable cutlery.
Dal bhat, local vegetables, and honey from Parbat's forests. We support local farmers over imported goods.
A portion of every booking funds trail upkeep and native tree planting in partnership with local councils.
We never run groups larger than 10 trekkers. The trail deserves quiet. So do the villages we pass through.
Parbat, Nepal
"We had the most incredible time thanks to Sameer! It was a truly authentic experience where we were shown around local villages and stayed in the most beautiful homestays in the mountains. The team was all so lovely and Sameer was kind enough to teach us all about Hinduism which was fascinating and we learned so much. "
