When planning a trek in Nepal, choosing the right company can make all the difference. RM Treks (Rainbow Mountain Treks Pvt. Ltd.) is a locally owned trekking and adventure travel company based in Kathmandu, Nepal. By booking directly with us, you get a more personal, flexible, and ethical travel experience, all while helping support local guides and communities.
We are listed on platforms like TripAdvisor and GetYourGuide, but our philosophy is simple: direct bookings create the best value and the safest, most enjoyable experience for our travelers.
Fair and Transparent Pricing
Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) often charge 20–35% commission per booking. These costs are often passed on to travelers, inflating prices without improving the trekking experience.
When you book direct Nepal trekking tours with RM Treks:
- You pay the actual cost, without extra platform fees.
- More of your money goes to guides, porters, and local staff.
- We can offer flexible packages, upgrades, and add-ons at fair rates.
Booking direct Nepal trekking tours ensures you get value for your money, not extra commissions for intermediaries.
Fair Wages and Ethical Support for Local Guides
Our guides, porters, and support staff are the backbone of RM Treks. Booking direct allows us to:
- Pay fair and timely wages to guides and porters
- Hire experienced, licensed professionals who know the terrain
- Provide proper safety equipment and insurance
- Invest in local communities and sustainable tourism practices
Your direct booking supports Nepalese livelihoods instead of global OTA commissions.
Personalized Itineraries and Real-Time Flexibility

- Tailor your itinerary to your fitness, interests, and timeframe
- Make on-the-fly adjustments for weather, health, or personal preference
