Discover the Himalayas with Global Compass Travels

Global Compass Travels invites you to explore the majestic grandeur of Nepal, where the earth kisses the sky. Home to the world’s highest peak, Nepal serves as a vibrant gateway between India and China. The country offers a tapestry of ethnic diversity, ancient traditions, and dramatic landscapes.

Also, home to eight of the world’s fourteen 8000ers, Nepal boasts itself as the ultimate frontrunner in adventure tourism. At Global Compass Travels, we help avid travelers navigate this legendary terrain with expert guidance, offering an intimate window into hidden gems and cultural heritages of the Himalayas.

With a rich legacy based on years of industry expertise, Global Compass Travel has established itself as a premier, government-recognized travel and trekking organization. We operate from the historic Nepali capital city of Kathmandu. Our agency is driven by an intricate understanding of the high-altitude environment and a commitment to showcasing the natural wonders of the Himalayas.

Beyond Nepal, our operations extend into the mystical Tibet, Bhutan, and India. Each destination is managed by a team of travel experts and field teams, and delivers expert logistics, ensuringa flawless track record of success.
