✌️ SOCIALTOURS IS PRO-PEACE

🌿 We welcome people from all walks of life — except those who walk the path of war.

We design experiences that connect, uplift, and inspire. We believe in the power of travel to build understanding, promote compassion, and bring people together across cultures.

We stand firmly against violence, oppression, and war crimes of any kind. War criminals, perpetrators of violence, or individuals who support or justify such acts are not welcome on our journeys.

At Socialtours, we travel to heal — not to harm.

We explore consciously, with purpose, integrity, and respect for all life.

What we love about this Job?

This morning, we were musing about all the travellers who are with us today, and we realised on thing, it truly is global.

Germans in Tserko Ri, British and Americans at Lo Manthang, German just heading back from Mera Peak and an American heading there tomorrow, British at Tsum Valley, Koreans on the Tamang Heritage trail and Turkish on the lower Annapurnas.

Today was even doing some mountain biking with some Norwegians.

Looking forward to a few Americans starting soon on a traverse from Langtang to Annapurna, a British Family starting for Makalu and Belgians starting on the 5x5000m trek in the Everest, amongst others.

We feel truly blessed for the trust and love our travellers show, and I hope our passion to showcase Nepal comes out.

Cannot be more grateful for our amazing crews and leaders who take our approach and make the magic happen, day in and day out. True heroes! You know who you are!

Dashain Blues

The biggest festival we have in Nepal is Dashain, pretty much like Christmas, where we take blessings from our elders, meet family, eat a ton, etc.

This is also a time when we work the hardest in the tourism industry, as its main season in the mountains.

Some pictures on this Dashain of our travellers in the country, from Langtang, Everest, Manaslu, Goasainkunda, Langtang, and Annapurna.

Soon others arrive for Mera Peak, Chitwan, Makalu etc. Its a busy season, and we absolutely love showing our country to travellers who choose to travel with us.

It's our passion, and we absolutely Hate our Jobs! 😀

Happy Dashain! Enjoy Responsibly!

ANSWERED!

Not any more. Post the heavy rains that caused the flooding, there was a little scare as another formation brought in clouds and rain from the Eastern side. That turned out to be not so bad.
