After much research and experience, we have set out pillars on which we focus our sustainable travel with you.
Nepal - India - Bhutan - Tibet - Himalayas Travel has always been our passion. And we know it is yours too. We pride ourselves on being one of the oldest adventure companies in Nepal.

Here at Last Frontiers, not only do we offer amazing travel choices, we are also very passionate about delivering awe-inspiring travel experiences at great value, making your journey not only meet your expectations, but exceed them.
We specialize in carefully designed and customized itineraries that reflect our wide ranging travelers’ interests and preferences. Your dream adventure is awaiting you. Let us help you create a especial one.
Responsible Travelling
Precious are the cultures and traditions – fragile are the natural environments – and absolutely dependent on tourism are the communities we come across as we travel. It is our utter responsibility as visitors to keep our distance from what is precious and to be mindful of our presence so as to leave an impact that becomes an uplifting example of positive actions. This is why we create genuine sustainable adventure itineraries with a raft of responsible tourism practices for our travelers to be ‘Responsible Travelers.’
Eco Adventures
We are very much aware of the fact that our adventures can pollute environments, damage ecosystems and exploit local communities. Hence, we play an active role in environmental conservation projects supporting low visitor impact and encouraging the participation of local people in all that we do. In addition to offering sustainable benefits to local communities, we are equally providing our travelers with educational components with regards to support for local cultures and biodiversity.
Social Commitments
We aren’t here just to do business – we are also committed to living our values, maintaining our integrity and ensuring that we protect human rights within our sphere of influence. We make sure that travelers, local communities and other stakeholders, all are treated with the same respect and equality. In order to protect our most vulnerable societies, we promote justice, equity and contribution programs across our communities by joining hands with various non-profit organizations.
Travel Safety and Experience
We are your travel partner that you can always count on. We are there for you from the minute you clear customs to the time you head home again. We have been providing the highest degree of safety and security for our travelers for the past three decades. Of course we know that no environment is entirely risk-free, however our safety protocols, risk management standards and extensive travel know-how can provide you with a secure and hassle-free travel experience when you travel with us.
Financial Protection
We understand that financial security is very important when making travel arrangements because paying for your adventure is one of the biggest commitments you will make. This is why we ensure that your money is secure and you will be safely repatriated back home. You will still get the most out of your travel just in case things don’t go according to plan. With Last Frontiers, your money is automatically protected even in case of a financial failure in the arrangements.
We believe that preserving a clean, safe, healthy environment is imperative to meeting the world’s energy needs. Continually striving to minimize potential negative environmental impacts of our activities and operations, we have teamed up with TAP to visualize a self-sustaining global movement resulting in the near-elimination of travelers’ dependence on plastic water bottles. We encourage our travelers to take the pledge to travel responsibly and use reusable water containers during the travels.
Organizations we support
We collaborate with many partners to make these trips possible and exclusive. We understand how much traveling means to you and this is why we partner with many organizations to provided exclusive trips which are normally not offered.

Sumeru Art Village (SAV)
Lok Chitrakar, renowned for his paubha paintings, is a self-taught artist who started painting at the tender age of 12. His father and relatives made various religious arts and as a child, Lok would observe them with keen interest. Slowly, he started assisting them and drew pictures of various deities in religious ceremony. The best part about him is that he does not seem to realize the artistic height he has achieved and the contributions he has made to his country, and perhaps, this quality in him is the major force that makes him work harder each day.
