Who We Are
Mountain Child is a small, independent Himalayan travel project led from the mountains themselves.
Every journey here is designed slowly — shaped by seasons, landscapes, and the people who live here.
We guide, organise, and host experiences that allow you to travel deeper — into nature, culture, and yourself.

Here, time moves differently. Every meal is home-cooked, every conversation meaningful, and every moment an invitation to reconnect with what matters.

Traveler Stories
Words from the mountains
"We had an amazing time with Raj on the Hampta Pass, who planned everything so well and guided us on the trail so that we could enjoy it as much as possible far from the crowds. The camping equipment was really qualitative and we thoroughly enjoyed the sustainable approach of the team, with fresh meals being cooked every day at camp without leaving any waste behind."
"Have traveled a couple of times with The Mountain Child and could not recommend it more highly to mountain lovers. I traveled with 2 kids (who were 4 and 6 years old first time) and I simply couldn't believe my kids did the level of intensity we could go because of Kavita and her team's support."
"She didn’t just host us—she thoughtfully curated separate itineraries for both us and our parents. While our parents got to enjoy a slower, more relaxed experience filled with leisure and local charm, Kavita planned a more adventurous route for my wife and me—complete with camping and exploring."
"We enjoyed the hikes as well as good talks together. Especially we remember her commitment to environmental topics, for example not using any packed food and to reduce waste as much as possible."
