Our Story

About Eightfold

Born from a love of the Himalaya and a frustration with cookie-cutter travel — we craft Nepal journeys for Australians who want more than a tour.

How It Started

Two Continents, One Vision

Eightfold was founded in 2018 by Pemba Sherpa and Sarah Mitchell — a Kathmandu native with 20 years of guiding experience and a Sydney-based travel consultant who fell in love with Nepal on her first trek to Annapurna.

We saw a gap: Australian travelers wanted Nepal adventures but struggled with complex logistics, unclear pricing, and cookie-cutter packages designed for the mass market. We built Eightfold to bridge that gap — combining local expertise with Australian standards of service, safety, and transparency.

Today, we've helped over a thousand Australian travelers experience Nepal — from Everest Base Camp to the jungles of Chitwan, from luxury heli-tours to off-the-beaten-path treks. Every itinerary is curated, every guide is exceptional, and every detail is handled so you can focus on the journey.
