Mastering the art of professional small-scale treks in Nepal

About BMP

Namaste! We are BMP, By Mountain People. And we are specialized in authentic, small-scale treks in Nepal. So you can go on a 100% tailored adventure in the Himalaya, with a professional local guide.

We are Govinda & Lilly, the 2 founders of By Mountain People (BMP). We are passionate about trekking in the great Himalayas together, since 2015.

Thanks to our team, we’ve successfully and safely guided people from all over the world through some of the most incredible adventures in the mountains of Nepal. 

Govinda and Lilly By Mountain People Nepal

Why choose By Mountain People?

By Mountain People (BMP) is the trekking company in Nepal that loooves the simple days of being in the mountains. As well as understands people, both Nepali and foreign. This is in the DNA of the company, since it has been founded by Nepali Govinda along with his Dutch partner Lilly.

We stand for:

  1. Safety
  2. Guaranteed memories for a lifetime
  3. 100% customized itineraries
 

Safety first, always

When we trek together, safety comes first at all times. This means we do not make promises about getting to see a certain view or reach a certain place. (I mean, let’s be honest. There’s something like the unpredictable weather, the landscape, etc.) But we DO make sure you are safe.

We go on an adventure together where we build memories for life and get back safely.

Therefore it is super important to us that we get to know each other first. For us, it means we want to know about your experience level, fitness level and health situation.

If this is going to be your first trekking experience, we help you getting prepared. Physically, mentally, gear, etc.

If you have health issues or concerns related to health, such as altitude sickness or a sensitive knee, we tailor the trekking itinerary so that it is suitable for you.oo

Memories that last a lifetime!

Whether you are planning a trip with your partner, family or friend. Those simple days together in the mountains are the BEST, in our opinion.

Forget about daily life back home. Disconnect from that.

Just soak in the landscape, challenge yourself and enjoy the special encounters with locals and like-minded travelers.

Trekking in Nepal involves a journey through basic yet authentic lodges. Govinda and Lilly LOVE indulging in delicious local dishes and engaging in card games together, with newfound friends. Or reading a book while sipping Nepali chai tea, or writing a travel journal while reflecting on the day.

It’s just the BEST. Right?!

100% customized itineraries

When Govinda and Lilly had just met, they just could. not. stop. discussing each others culture with its history, habits, believes, religions, customs and so on … This enabled the team to understand both perspectives, from Nepali people and foreign travelers like YOU!

Because of that, we understand the importance of not ‘just selling treks’. No. We make sure our treks are enjoyable for you as well as the people who live here.

So no large groups. And we do not sell ‘one size fits all’ treks as products. We provide a service, by organizing small-scale tailored treks that are suitable for YOU.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

So, what are you looking for in a trip in Nepal? Adventure? Culture? Grand sceneries or a sense of personal achievement?! Let’s explore the options!

Govinda

Govinda was born as the 4th and last child, in a rural farmers village in Parbat. The area is located south of Pokhara, a city about 200 km from the capital of Kathmandu. When he was just 19 years old, he started his own outdoor gear shop in the heart of Thamel. This is where he met Lilly. They started traveling together a year later, and they've never really stopped since.

Lilly

Lilly is from Nepal as well? Not so much ... She was born over 6,500 km (4,000 mi) away in ... The Netherlands! She met Govinda when she and her friend were backpacking in Nepal, back in 2013. And she keeps exploring new areas in Nepal and absolutely loves building new itineraries every day.
