    What’s up with only Lubhu?
    We are changing our model. Instead of aiming for a different location/venue each time – which severely compromises quality across races (permission, space, toilets etc) – we have now tied up with Bishudole Farmhouse in Lubhu. We will add more dates (in addition to Lubhu on said dates) as other locations and venues get identified and confirmed, like Thali, Taudaha etc, which means more than one Snail Trail a month!

    vonKathmandu was born out of the love for the mountains, the people we meet along the way, and the communities we traverse. As a trekking company, we may be new. Our knowledge of beautiful trails and obsession with nerdy logistics is not. What we lack in decades of experience, we make up for in the quality we consistently deliver. We have returning clients who’ve left us happy and raving reviews.

    We invite you to join our treks in Nepal’s Himalayas and hikes in Kathmandu Valley for an adventure of a lifetime!
