Cosmos Holidays
Mount Everest and the Himalaya range glowing at sunrise
KATHMANDU / 27.7172 N, 85.3240 E

Every journey here begins at 1,400 metres.

Once-in-a-lifetime journeys, planned by people who live in the Himalayas.

ALT 1,400 M

From the middle of the map

We are a small Kathmandu team. We plan the region we grew up in, one traveller at a time.

Cosmos Holidays began with a simple idea. We are from Nepal, and we wanted people to see this part of the world the way we know it, at the pace of a place you will actually want to remember.

Four promises

How we plan

  • Always

    Tailor-made, always

    No two trips we plan are the same. You tell us how you like to travel and we build it around that, not the other way round.

  • Local

    Local expertise

    We are based in the Himalayas, not a call centre on the other side of the world. The guides, the lodges and the timing are things we know first-hand.

  • Where it counts

    Premium where it counts

    Comfort and care where they matter, good sense where they do not. You feel the difference in the trip, not just the price.

  • Start to finish

    Looked after, start to finish

    One team from your first message to your flight home, and a real person to reach when plans need to move.

From the guest book

They listened first and planned second. Every day felt made for us, and someone was always a message away when we needed them.
A. and M. Whitfield / Nepal and Bhutan
We have travelled a lot, and this was the first time the logistics simply disappeared. We just got to enjoy the place.
Sophie L. / Thailand and Vietnam
Honest advice, beautiful hotels, and guides who clearly love where they are from. Worth every bit of it.
