About
A founder-led travel house
in Kathmandu.
We started BodhVia because Nepal deserves a better way to be travelled — slower, more personal, and led by the people who call these mountains home.
We keep our numbers small. Every journey is planned and guided by Nepalis who know these routes, and led personally by one of the three of us, alongside a guiding team that has been with us for more than a decade.
We only sell what we have walked. Every journey on this site has been tested by us, season after season. If something isn't right for you, we'll say so — and point you toward the people who can do it well.
The mountains are not a backdrop, and Nepal is not a product. We are guests here, just as you are. Our work is to leave every place a little better than we found it, and to send you home feeling more yourself than when you arrived.
Why we exist
For travellers who have seen the famous places,
and now want the real one.
Unhurried days.
We don't schedule by the half-hour. Mornings stay open. The journey moves at a pace that lets you actually take it in.
Room to breathe.
The drive, the long lunch, the walk back to the lodge — these aren't gaps in the trip. They're part of it, and often the best part.
Real welcomes, not performances.
No staged ceremonies. You're welcomed into homes and monasteries because we've known these families and abbots for a generation.
Comfort that lets you let go.
Hand-picked, family-run lodges, private kitchens, and warm beds at altitude — chosen so you can relax fully and stay present.
Local from end to end
Based in Jhamsikhel, Lalitpur. Every guide and partner is Nepali, and our supply chain is fully local — family-run lodges, local artisans, no global chains. Our guides are NMA-registered, and BodhVia is a PATA member, licensed under Nepal's Travel & Tour Act.
Private and small
Private, small-group journeys planned around you. There are no fixed departures and no shared coaches. Every journey is built around your group and led by one dedicated team, start to finish.
Giving back
A meaningful share of every journey goes back to the villages, monasteries, and conservation projects we work alongside. We'd rather do the work than publish a list of it.
Every journey begins with a conversation.
