Your journey, your story – crafted with soul.
Introduction
No two travelers are the same – so why should their trips be?
At Maya Trips, we believe travel should reflect your passions, values, and pace. Whether you dream of sipping yak butter tea with monks in Mustang, learning pottery in Bhaktapur, or forest bathing in Ilam, our custom experiential itineraries are co-created to bring your travel vision to life.
This isn’t a pre-packaged vacation. It’s a curated experience rooted in deep cultural connection, personal discovery, and the hidden gems of Nepal.
Here’s how we do it.
✨ 1. We Start with You
Before we plan a single day, we ask: Who are you as a traveler?
You may be:
- A seeker of silence, craving spiritual depth
- A curious foodie, ready for culinary exploration
- A couple seeking wellness and reconnection
- A family wanting cultural adventure
- A creative soul inspired by crafts and mountain views
We begin every custom itinerary with a one-on-one consultation to understand your interests, energy, travel style, and purpose.
“Our travelers aren’t looking for checklists – they’re looking for meaning. We design for memory, not milestones.”
- Founder, Maya Trips
🧭 2. We Curate with Purpose
Once we understand your essence as a traveler, we begin to piece together experiences that align with your unique journey.
Some of our building blocks include:
Cultural Immersions
- Spend a day with Newari artisans in Patan
- Attend a traditional wedding or rice feeding ceremony
- Join locals for a festival like Tihar or Maghe Sankranti
Spiritual Journeys
- Silent retreat in a monastery in Pharping

Each experience is carefully vetted for cultural authenticity, community impact, and your comfort.
📍 3. We Personalize the Journey Flow
The magic of an experiential trip lies in its rhythm. We balance energy with ease.
For example:
- After a spiritual trek, we may plan a wellness retreat for integration
- After a village homestay, you might enjoy a restful day by Phewa Lake
- We space out travel days with immersive experiences to avoid fatigue
Every day is thoughtfully paced, ensuring you stay connected – not just to the journey, but to yourself.
🏡 4. We Choose Stay That Aligns with Your Experience
Accommodation isn’t just where you sleep – it’s part of the story.
We handpick places like:
- Traditional homestays for cultural immersion
- Eco-lodges that blend comfort and sustainability
- Boutique hotels with architectural character
- Luxury wellness resorts for deep rest and care
And always: hospitality with heart.
🤝 5. We Work with Local Hosts and Storytellers
Our strongest partners are the people of Nepal – the weavers, monks, farmers, chefs, and guides who open their hearts and homes to you.
We bring you to:
- Learn Thangka painting from a master in Bhaktapur
- Visit women-led co-ops in Palpa
- Listen to ancestral tales by fireside in Bandipur
Each host brings a piece of Nepal’s soul to your journey.
🌱 6. We Design for Positive Impact
We ensure your experience uplifts the people and places you visit. Our itineraries are built to:
- Support local economies by working with small businesses
- Respect cultural traditions and sacred sites
- Offset your footprint through sustainability initiatives
- Empower underrepresented voices in tourism – especially women and youth
Every trip leaves something behind – let it be growth and gratitude.
