About this tour

At the Himalayan frontier, it is not only about the panorama, but being at the vintage point for the best view and most importantly, the moment. An indelible memory, where all endeavors culminate into a triumph.

At One Globe, we aim to be at the heart of every step a traveler takes to make it a memorable journey.

Most travelers are made to choose generic packages, a compromise at its best. The perspective of the traveler is often preceded by that of the operator. The foundation of our principle has been to re-invoke the significance of the traveler enabling a seamless transition every step of the way.

With much experienced personnel in the travel business, despite our maturing presence in the Nepalese market, our objective to gain a stronghold shall surely be sooner than later. Tours and treks or regional ticket sales, all travel services are yours to choose.

From tea-house treks to camping in the Himalayan wilderness, we will lead you through forest trails and idyllic villages. City tours of ancient squares and of Hindu and Buddhist landmarks will enlighten your cultural perspective. White-water rafting, canoying, cycling, or paragliding your thirst for adventure at its best will surely be quenched.

Welcome to the world of One Globe. Welcome to Nepal.
