Why Travelers Choose Green Forest
We do not operate from afar; we live, breathe, and guide straight from the banks of Phewa Lake. Green Forest Treks and Tours Pvt. Ltd. is a women owned trekking agency in Nepal and a premier trekking agency in Pokhara — founded by Japan returnees and led by women leaders who know every ridge.
As a fully licensed trekking agency in Nepal, we bridge the raw beauty of the Himalayas with the safety and comfort international travelers expect — especially senior groups, Japanese guests, and women trekking with confidence alongside our female-led leadership.
