About Flying Yak
For too long, the money visitors spent here left with the people who sold the trip.
Why we started
When we looked at how Nepal was being promoted to the world, we saw that much of it was being promoted by outside operators, who knew nothing about the essence of our country. They took large commissions and carried the earnings out of the country.
The mountains, the culture, the management, and the hospitality were all Nepali. The profit often wasn't. Very small part of the money paid went to the local people. We wanted to change that.
Our mission
Flying Yak is from Nepal, for Nepal. Our whole team lives here, and every trip we run is built so tourism money stays here too. Many people depend on tourism for their livelihoods and we know best how to uplift them.
Nepal is a poor country, and tourism can change that. If we do this well, thousands of people can work their way out of poverty through jobs, fair pay and businesses of their own.
