    About Us
 

High Asia Tours is a team of guides and managers for whom travel is a passion. Each of the founding members is qualified, trained, experienced and cultured in tourism. We are familiar with the destinations, we are practised in managing all sides of your trip, and we possess the right infrastructure and all prerequisites that a travel business must have.


Although High Asia Tours is a newly established company, all of the founders have worked in the tourism trade for over a decade. Wherever and with whoever we worked, we have been known for our diligence and honesty. All our customers have got the best value for their money and time, and if there ever was any problem we handled it smoothly and sincerely.


Our headquarters are based in Kathmandu, Nepal. We hold all government formalities and requisites. We have strong relationships and networks built up in Bhutan, Tibet, India, and Pakistan. We are able to handle your entire travel requirements at these destinations.


High Asia Tours is a small company, and our profit is equally small. We don’t believe in becoming a million dollar business overnight. Therefore, we keep our tariff as low as possible.


We specialise in individual, small group or family trips; and in custom and special interest tours as well. We attend to every detail, and all our trips are put together by the experts of the region.
