Our story

Built for real connections

We started Gaunle because booking a trip and belonging are two different things. Experiences should feel hosted, communities should feel welcoming, and partners should help — not hard-sell.

Today we help travellers, expats, digital nomads, and returning Nepalis discover cooking classes, walks, valley meetups, and quiet circles led by people who live this place.

Audience

Who we welcome

Four kinds of travellers. One Nepal.

Travellers

Short stays with hosts who share food, trails, and neighbourhood rhythm — not tours that rush past people.

Expats

Settle with community lounges, weekend meetups, and trusted intros when life in Kathmandu or Pokhara begins.

Digital nomads

Work-friendly experiences and circles where you can meet locals and fellow remote workers without the noise.

Returning Nepalis

Reconnect with home through taste, language, festivals, and hosts who make the return feel soft again.

Principles

What we stand for

How we design experiences as a Nepal travel company.

Hosted, not manufactured

Experiences come from real hosts — kitchens, walks, craft — with clear expectations and fair pay.

Community with care

Member feeds and lounges stay moderated. Belonging matters more than endless feed noise.

Partners, not warehouse hotels

Partner stays are assist-only: we help coordinate guest nights with trusted places, without inventing room inventory.

The journey

How a journey with us feels

Discover an experience, join a community, meet a host, and keep the thread going after the booking. Website and app stay in sync so your next visit — or your first month living here — already has people attached.
