Changing with the Times
Based on our own experiences, we decided that it was time that travel providers changed, time in fact to create something new. Truthfully, at one point we were thinking of being one of the more than 630,000 youths who leave the country every year to work overseas. The other side of the coin was to stay here and be one of the 10% of youths actually making a difference and supporting the country from the inside.
Being tired of the old way things were done, we wanted to give other travellers the opportunity to see the world as we see it. We wanted to smooth out the bumps that we came across ourselves while exploring these areas and help others have an even better experience.
While running a trekking agency was a new field for Saugat, Pradeep was a co-partner in another trekking agency for three years before forming Magical Nepal. So, it was a perfect fit!
However, we took the plunge, and started Magical Nepal with a lot of enthusiasm, (a lot of balls you might say!), Rs 1,000, and a cup of tea!
Sustainable Growth
One year on, we are growing fast – much more quickly than we anticipated. So we have to improve ourselves and grow with the company. Our main intention still stays the same: to provide you with the best self-collected information, rather than drag you into a fixed-price package deal. In this way, you can sit down with us, and create your journey to fit your personality, interests, fitness level, and budget. In this way, you will have the chance to fully enjoy your time in Nepal and feel you had the chance to explore it yourself.
A big item on our list when establishing Magical Nepal was to operate all treks locally, to include the community and environment in the benefits your money brings to the country. Our Team is growing day by day, as is our involvement with the local communities we trek through. We hope we energize the local communities as much as we feel energized by them. We want everyone to experience the magical world of Nepal the way we do.
The Way We Work
Today, in the spring of 2021, Magical Nepal is a family of 20 people who all have the intention to create the best experience we can for you, the client. We listen, think, and generate new ideas with every trek. We believe in an exchange of ideas between our Team and our clients. Additionally, our Team hierarchy is wide open – we are all equal in Magical Nepal. Our office times are also flexible; which is not to say we are lax in organizing your trip! Our Team knows when to give 100% and knows when they can relax a bit to create her/ his liveable working environment.
Personal contact is one of our highest priorities. We are sure to answer every email you send and take your requests and needs seriously.
