We have deliberately kept our scope narrow. Doing three things well, we believe, is preferable to doing thirty things adequately.
Trekking, cultural travel, and slow-pace itineraries through Annapurna, Langtang, Mustang, Manaslu, Everest, and the Kathmandu Valley. From 7-day cultural immersions to 28-day expedition-style traverses.
Provenance research, cultural-property due diligence, curatorial advice, and acquisition support for museums, foundations, and serious private collectors of Newari, Tibetan, and Himalayan-Buddhist material culture.
Direct-trade hand-hammered singing bowls, hand-loom dhaka textiles, brass and copper ritual objects, prayer beads, and contemporary craft from cooperatives we have partnered with for years.
Every Treasure Nepal journey is built from scratch around the traveller. We do not maintain a brochure of fixed departures. After an initial conversation — usually a 45-minute call — our travel designer drafts a working itinerary that we then refine together, often over the course of three or four exchanges.
We work with a select number of institutional and private clients on cultural-property questions specific to Nepal and the broader Himalayan region. Engagements typically fall into three categories:
Independent due diligence on the ownership history of a specific object — including archival research in Nepal, comparison against published cultural heritage registers, and consultation with Nepali scholars where appropriate. Most projects take 6–14 weeks.
Pre-purchase consultation for collectors and institutions considering an acquisition, with a written report covering authenticity, provenance, condition, and ethical considerations.
We assist institutions and individuals who have determined that an object in their possession should be returned to its place of origin, providing logistical, legal, and diplomatic coordination at no markup.
In Detail · 03We do not maintain a public shop. Sourcing is by enquiry: tell us what you are looking for — a specific bowl, a particular textile, a brass piece for a meditation room — and we will introduce you to the maker, share photographs and provenance, and, if you proceed, handle the import logistics from Kathmandu to your door.
All pieces ship insured, with a documentary card naming the maker, workshop, completion date, and (for older or culturally sensitive objects) an export-clearance certificate from the Department of Archaeology of Nepal.
