Who is behind mantramountain.com

Mantra Mountain has operated treks and adventure trips out of Pokhara since 2018. Our guides walk the Annapurna, Mardi Himal, Poon Hill, Manaslu and Everest routes through every season, and the same people answer the enquiry emails.

We sell treks, Pokhara adventure activities and stays at our organic homestay. We are not a booking marketplace and we do not resell someone else's trips: if you book with us, the people who wrote the guide are the people who run the trek.

Two things, kept deliberately separate. 1,786 evergreen travel and trekking guides covering routes, permits, costs and seasons — and a news desk with 7 updates on floods, weather, permit changes, flights and advisories that affect people travelling right now.

Guides are written to still be true next season. News is a snapshot, dated, sourced and linked to the outlets that reported it. Full detail is in our editorial policy.

• Route facts, walking times and altitudes come from guides who work the route, and are checked against the operator's own itineraries before publication.
• Prices and permit fees are given as ranges, with the office or authority to confirm them named, because they change without notice.
• Drafts are assembled with the help of automated tooling and are published only after passing an automated quality gate that rejects thin, duplicated, fabricated or unsourced material.
• Anything we are not confident about is written as 'check this here' rather than stated as fact.

Trips, mostly. The site also carries advertising and, where partner links are shown, they are labelled as such. Advertising never decides what we recommend, and we do not run ads or sales pitches on stories about disasters, casualties or unrest.
