At Trek Me Nepal, we specialize in designing FAM (Familiarization) trips exclusively for travel and tourism industry professionals: everyone from travel companies, tour operators, destination management companies to travel film producers and freelance travel photographers/videographers, TV & film production scouts and management companies, airline staff route and travel tech companies.
Unlike standard FAM trips, we focus on the practical knowledge you need to successfully sell and operate tours in Nepal.
We take a transparent approach to familiarization. You’ll experience both the highlights and operational realities of Nepal’s tourism infrastructure, from transportation logistics and accommodation standards to seasonal challenges and cultural considerations.
Our FAM trips cover all major Nepal tourism products including adventure treks and climbing tours across Everest, Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang and Annapurna regions, cultural tours in Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara and Lumbini, and wildlife experiences in Chitwan National Park as well as other destinations across Nepal, among other things.
For B2B partners, we offer customized programs tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re developing new tour products, expanding your adventure offerings, or establishing local partnerships.
Every element of our FAM trips is designed with professional outcomes in mind. You’ll gain firsthand knowledge of supplier networks, operational challenges, and pricing structures, and everything required to confidently develop and sell Nepal tours to your clients. We provide end-to-end support from initial planning through to post-trip follow-up resources.
Most FAM trips show you Nepal’s highlights. Ours show you how to operate tours here successfully.
Many familiarization programs focus on sightseeing. Ours focuses on practical logistics:
We specialize in FAM trips for travel professionals. Our approach gives you concrete tools to design and sell Nepal tours with confidence.
