Know Our Founder
Padam
Paudel
Founder & Visionary
"The mountains are not a destination to conquer — they are a living entity to respect. I founded Vulture Trek because I wanted to share the mountains the way they deserve to be experienced: on their own terms, through unspoiled paths, with guides who understand every whisper of the wind and every heartbeat of the terrain.
Every trek we offer is a reflection of decades walking these trails. Every decision we make prioritizes your transformation over superficial tourism."

What Our Clients Say
"I have visited Nepal five times from 2001 to 2006, exploring Jomsom, Chitwan, and the Annapurna region. Despite having knee issues, Padam's excellent guidance helped us maintain the pace throughout every trek. He is someone I cherish and would wholeheartedly recommend."

"I trekked with Padam and VultureTrek for the second time in Nepal. In October-November 2024, we completed a spectacular 26-day journey through the Annapurna Circuit and Upper Mustang. Throughout the trek, I felt that VultureTrek has truly become a home away from home."
Christian

"Padam and I have kept in touch since 2013, and he is a wonderful friend. I've trekked with him in Kathmandu, the Annapurna region, and Chitwan National Park with my wife in group settings. Despite managing many groups, he made everyone feel special and cared for. I was fortunate to see a tiger in Chitwan!"

"Our trek to Annapurna Base Camp during Tihar was incredible. This was our second time trekking with VultureTrek, and we're already planning our next visit for September. Every experience has been exceptional."

Melinda

"In 2008, I participated in a school visit and joined a mother's group (aama samuwa) for a day-in-the-life experience in rural Nepal. It was an enriching opportunity to understand the health status and lifestyle of rural communities while supporting local women. A truly transformative journey."
