A word from the visionary behind our journey
Founder & Director, Hakunamatatatek
Hello, I’m Aayush Parajuli, the founder and director of Hakuna Matata Trekking. With a Bachelor’s in Mountaineering Studies and years of experience leading treks across Nepal, I have had the privilege of guiding adventurers through some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. My personal mountaineering achievements, including summiting Mera Peak (6,476m) and reaching Camp III of Himlung Himal, have deepened my respect for high-altitude environments and reinforced my commitment to safety on every trek.
I founded Hakuna Matata Trekking with the vision of creating “A New Wave of Adventure”—where trekking is more than a journey from point A to B, but a transformational experience that connects you to the heart of the Himalayas. I have spent two years volunteering in Upper Dolpo, which allowed me to truly understand the culture, lifestyle, and resilience of its remote communities. That experience has inspired our dedication to responsible tourism and meaningful cultural engagement on every trek.
Having traveled and guided treks in all major destinations across Nepal, I have gained deep knowledge of both the natural beauty and cultural richness that make these landscapes unique. I strive to bring calm leadership, expert guidance, and a focus on safety to every trek, so that your journey is not only an adventure, but also a life-changing experience.
At Hakuna Matata Trekking, we are committed to authentic adventure, responsible travel, and unforgettable experiences. My passion is to help you explore Nepal safely, connect deeply with its culture and mountains, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
“No worries, just wonders.”

Yes, most trekking routes in Nepal require permits (such as TIMS card and national park permits). Trekking companies like Hakuna Matata Trekking typically handle all necessary permits and administrative requirements as part of their service package for trekkers.
The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are usually pre-monsoon (March to May) and post-monsoon (September to November), when weather conditions are most stable, skies are clear, and mountain views are spectacular.
Essential items include good quality trekking boots, waterproof clothing, warm layers, sun protection, water purification, and a reliable backpack. Trekking companies often provide gear lists tailored to specific treks, but personal gear like footwear and thermal layers are typically the responsibility of the trekker.
Nepal is generally a safe destination for travelers. Tourist areas and trekking regions are accustomed to international visitors, and local guides and communities are welcoming. Normal travel precautions still apply, and having travel insurance is recommended.

Besides trekking, Nepal offers plenty of adventure and cultural experiences such as jungle safaris in Chitwan and Bardia, whitewater rafting, paragliding in Pokhara, cultural tours in Kathmandu, and peak climbing expeditions.
