Ever wondered who shows the people from the world's most famous travel guides around Nepal?
"Hidden Nepal" Atlas by Etihad
SNOW CAT TRAVEL was chosen by ETIHAD AIRWAYS to design and deliver "on the ground" a tour of "Hidden Nepal" for renowned Travel Writer Simon Parker and Professional Travel Photographer Ben Read, who were visiting Nepal for the very first time. Their brief was to produce an article about Nepal away from the main tourist trails for the prestigious ATLAS IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE for ETIHAD AIRWAYS, one of the world's leading, luxury airlines. Atlas Magazine is estimated to be read by up to 20 million people! SNOW CAT TRAVEL took Simon and Ben beyond Kathmandu to Nuwakot, rafting on the Trisuli River, a visit to Bandipur, paragliding in Pokhara, and exploring the ancient wonders and traditions of Bhaktapur. This article has now been published in Atlas Magazine. In fact, the editor of the magazine was so impressed with the results that extra space in the magazine was given to Simon and Ben's article!

With Lonely Planet's STUART BUTLER.
We've worked regularly with Stuart Butler, author of the Rough Guide to Nepal and Lonely Planet Trekking in Nepal, to provide technical and logistical advice, assistance, and expertise for both publications, along with support for media articles to be published elsewhere. In researching "alternative" and fact-finding trekking possibilities in Nepal, we also provide Stuart with full logistical trek support services.
See Stuart Butlers publication on his MUSTANG TREK WITH SNOW CAT TRAVEL. Most recently, Stuart has once again chosen Snow Cat Travel to trek into the Tsum Valley/Manaslu Circuit and assist with in-depth research into the Yarsagumba trade.

In Stuart's words,"...Snow Cat Travel ensured my trips to Nepal have gone smoothly but the team have been great fun to be involved with....."
We also supported Lonely Planet Nepal co-author Paul Stiles on his first visit to Nepal with pre-planning, a specialist guide, accommodation, and travel services for research and updates for the latest Lonely Planet Nepal publication. An epic five-week journey that covered the far east, central, western, and lowland areas of Nepal, including Chitwan, Bardia, and Lumbini. His brief was to cover 371 locations during this period. Phew! Our Operations Manager (Abhi) also contributed to the updated Transport in Nepal section.
In Paul's own words...."Nepal is a country where logistics are the primary challenge....not sure what I would have done without you guys."
We are regularly consulted by TV & Film Production companies for Nepal. Recently we provided extensive advice and logistical support in Nepal for Wall to Wall - A Warner Bros UK TV Production company. This was for the "Nadiya's Asian Odyssey" featuring Nadiya Hussain, of which episode 2 of the series was in Nepal and broadcast on BBC1.
