Built in Kathmandu. Trusted since 1998.
Raaika Tours & Treks is a Kathmandu-based Nepal travel company built on local knowledge, long-term relationships, trained guides and nearly three decades of on-the-ground experience.
From a local travel office to a trusted Nepal specialist.
Raaika Tours & Treks began in Gyaneshwor, Kathmandu in 1998 with a simple idea: help travelers experience Nepal with the care, reliability and local knowledge that only a Nepal-based team can provide.
Over the years, the company worked with international partners, guided trekking groups across Himalayan regions, arranged cultural journeys, supported Buddhist pilgrimage tours and built a network of guides, drivers, hotels and local teams we know personally.
The next chapter is direct travel: helping international travelers plan private treks and tailor-made tours directly with the local team that actually handles the ground arrangements.
Local responsibility
Every itinerary still depends on practical local judgment: road conditions, altitude pacing, guide suitability, hotel quality, flight timing, permits, meals, comfort level and what to do when plans need to shift.
