EarthLove Tours

2026 Nepal

"Nature can thrive without us.
But we cannot thrive without nature."

Somewhere along the way, many of us have become disconnected—

from nature,

from one another,

and sometimes even from ourselves.

Yet there are still places in the world where people have lived for generations in harmony with nature, honoring its rhythms and embracing the richness of diverse cultures.

Nepal is one of those rare places.

This is more than an 8-day journey through the Himalayas.

It is an invitation to experience the wisdom of a land where nature, culture, and community are deeply intertwined—

and perhaps, through that experience, rediscover what truly matters in your own life.

Namaste:

Hello, I'm Maki, founder of EarthLove.

Born between two cultures—Nepal and Japan—I have spent more than two decades creating journeys that leave a lasting impact on people's lives.

In 2018, I spent an extended period living in Nepal, working alongside local communities, Chitwan National Park, and government partners to explore a simple but important question:

How can tourism help protect nature, culture, and the communities that call these places home?

Those years of experience transformed not only the way I travel, but also the way I see life.

Nepal is far more than the home of the Himalayas.

It is a country where extraordinary nature, diverse cultures, and generations of people living together with mutual respect continue to shape everyday life.

During these eight days, as we journey through Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan National Park, my hope is not simply to show you Nepal.

I hope you will experience something meaningful through its landscapes, its people, and its way of life—and return home with discoveries that continue to enrich your own life long after the journey ends.

I look forward to welcoming you to Nepal.

Namaste.

What is EarthLove Tours?

EarthLove Tours is a journey designed to reconnect us with what truly matters.

In 2018, I spent more than 200 days walking through the forests of Chitwan National Park.

Day after day, I observed insects, birds, deer, monkeys, crocodiles, one-horned rhinos, and Bengal tigers living within the same ecosystem.

Nature taught me something profound.

Every living being has a role.

By supporting one another, countless forms of life have sustained the forest for thousands of years.

Watching this every day, I came to realize that we, too, are part of nature.

Perhaps somewhere along the way, we simply forgot...

Nepal is one of the few places where this wisdom still lives.

It can be felt in its mountains, its cultures, its communities, and in the quiet respect people show one another and the natural world.

If the breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and warm-hearted people you encounter during this journey inspire you to rediscover what truly matters in your own life, then EarthLove Tours has fulfilled its purpose.

That is what EarthLove Tours is all about.

2026 Autumn Journey

The Himalayas are not only mountains.

They are a place where nature, culture, spirituality, and human life have existed together for generations.

More Than a Tour Price:

EarthLove Tours is not created to maximize profit.

Our goal is to maximize the value this journey brings to each person's life.

That is why we carefully choose accommodations, experiences, meals, and local connections.

When the final number of participants is confirmed, we will adjust the final price while protecting the quality of the journey.

Because our priority is not increasing profit.

Our priority is delivering a meaningful experience to more people.

Why We Created This Journey:

Nepal has taught me more about life than I could ever have imagined.

The majesty of the Himalayas.

The richness of cultures that have flourished for thousands of years.

The kindness of people who continue to live together across different languages, ethnicities, and religions.

In Nepal, I discovered that true richness is not measured by what we own, but by how we live, how we care for one another, and how deeply we remain connected to nature.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have received these gifts from this remarkable country.

That is why I never wanted to keep them to myself.

EarthLove Tours is my way of sharing what Nepal has generously shared with me—with people I have come to know, value, and trust.

My hope is that this journey will become not only a memorable trip, but also a meaningful experience that continues to enrich your life long after you return home.

Is This Your Time?

This journey may not be for everyone.

But if you feel:

“I want to reconnect with nature.”

“I want to experience something truly meaningful.”

“I want to meet people and cultures beyond my everyday world.”

“I want to bring something valuable back into my life.”

Then perhaps this is the right moment.

To Those Who Feel Called by the Himalayas:

Only a small percentage of people around the world ever visit Nepal (0.01% including repeaters).

Yet this journey is not reserved for extraordinary people.

It simply begins with a quiet feeling.

"I'd like to go."

"I'd like to experience it."

"I'd like to reconnect."

EarthLove Tours has never been created for mass tourism.

Instead, it has grown through the friendships, trust, and meaningful connections we have been fortunate to build over the years.

Many of our guests join through people who already know us, and that spirit of connection continues to grow, one relationship at a time.

My hope is that the people you meet, the landscapes you experience, and the lessons you discover during these eight days will continue to enrich your life long after you return home.

And perhaps, that richness will gently spread to your family, your friends, and your community.

Let us learn from nature.

Respect one another.

And carry those values into the future.

It would be my greatest pleasure to share this journey with you in Nepal.

Namaste.
