Trekking Expeditions
Ethical Trekking in Nepal
Ocean Vertical’s Ethical Nepal Trekking Expeditions offer an authentic, life-changing adventure in the heart of the Himalayas. Our treks in the Everest and Annapurna regions take you off the crowded base camp trails and immerse you in the true essence of Nepal’s majestic mountains, rich culture, and welcoming communities. With small group sizes, we prioritise creating an intimate and immersive experience, allowing you to truly connect with the beauty and spirit of the Himalayas.
Our expeditions are led by Mollie Hughes, the first English woman to summit Mount Everest from both the north and south routes, our expeditions are led by expert hands. Mollie not only leads the treks but also provides personalised support in the lead-up to the journey, ensuring you feel prepared and confident. Her deep knowledge and love for Nepal ensure that your adventure will be both authentic and impactful.
Over 14 days together we will experience the historical sights of Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, before taking a spectacular flight over the Himalayas to the lakeside town of Pokhara, where we will begin our 8 day trek through the Mardi Himal.

Supporting all-female trekking guides
At Ocean Vertical, we believe in empowerment, which is why we proudly partner with the 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking Company. This partnership supports all-female trekking guides, a rarity in the region, offering women in Nepal the opportunity to lead and thrive in an industry traditionally dominated by men. By trekking with us, you directly contribute to gender equality and the empowerment of local women.
Our commitment to responsible tourism is central to everything we do. We ensure that our local trekking guides and assistants are treated with care, respect and are fully insured and supported. We take great care in minimising our environmental footprint while increasing our positive impact on local communities.
If you’re seeking an ethical and authentic trekking adventure in Nepal, Ocean Vertical’s expeditions offer an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact on both you and the incredible people and landscapes you encounter.
