About Saraz
Built From the Trail Up
A Nepal-based travel company designing journeys around the mountains, not the other way around.
Our Story
SARAZ was founded by Saraj Dhakal, born and based in Nepal, to design travel that reflects the country as it actually is — its mountains, its culture, and the people who call both home.
We work as a small, hands-on operation. Every itinerary is planned directly, every trek is built around how you actually want to travel, and every journey is designed to be walked, not just booked.
Whether it’s a fortnight toward Everest Base Camp or a quiet week in the Kathmandu Valley, our aim is the same: to make sure Nepal stays with you long after the trip ends.
Why Saraz
Travel With Purpose
Nepal rewards travel that slows down. We design journeys around the mountains, cultures and people that make this country what it is — not around a checklist.
Local knowledge
Every itinerary is built by people who grew up walking these trails, not assembled from a catalogue.
Careful itineraries
Pacing, altitude and rest days are planned around how your body actually adapts, not a generic template.
Authentic experiences
Teahouses, guides and communities chosen for what they are, not for how they photograph.
Flexible private journeys
Every trip can be shaped around your dates, your pace and the places that matter to you.
Safety-conscious planning
Sensible acclimatisation, clear communication, and guides who know when to slow down.
Responsible tourism
Working with local guides, porters and lodges so travel benefits the communities you pass through.
