Kathmandu Climbing Trips

I recently completed a challenging trek, and it was an incredible experience! Despite facing difficult weather conditions, the team from this tour company made everything much easier with their outstanding support and positive attitude. Their encouragement helped keep morale high, which was essential during tough moments. The trek tested my limits, but the sense of accomplishment at the summit was worth every effort. Overall, I highly recommend climbing with this company for anyone looking to tackle challenging peaks. Their professionalism and positivity truly make a difference!

I recently completed the Island Peak climbing expedition and it was nothing short of incredible! From the start to the summit, everything was well-organized, safe, and filled with unforgettable moments. Dendi, my guide, was an absolute star. His professionalism and experience were evident from day one. Not only did he guide me through the trek and the climb with expertise, but he also shared so much knowledge about the culture, the landscapes, and climbing techniques. His calm demeanor and encouragement, especially during the more challenging sections, gave me the confidence I needed to push through. Whether it was pacing ourselves on the way up, helping with gear, or ensuring we stayed safe on the glacier, Dendi was exceptional. Prakash, the manager and owner of this tour company, was also fantastic. From my first inquiry, he made the whole process so smooth. His communication was clear, and he made sure all my questions were answered promptly. I felt like I was in great hands from the get-go. The logistics of the trip, including permits, transportation, and accommodations, were all taken care of seamlessly. Prakash checked in regularly, which made me feel valued and well-supported throughout the experience. The Island Peak itself was a thrilling adventure. The beauty of the Khumbu region combined with the excitement of scaling a 6,000-meter peak made it one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The views from the summit were simply breathtaking – standing there with the mighty Everest in the backdrop was beyond words.

The journey of the Island Peak was like a dream come true. Every step felt like a chapter of an exhilarating adventure tale. With my gear meticulously packed and permits in hand, I keenly anticipated the forthcoming challenges and rewards. The journey from Lukla to Island Peak Base Camp revealed the natural beauty and unique culture of the region. Every new encounter each day and laughter shared with guides and fellow trekkers forged bonds, fueling determination to reach higher heights of the Himalayas. Arriving at the Base Camp felt like reaching the doorstep of the new world, surrounded by the pristine snow-capped Himalayas. The night before the summit push was a symphony of stars and anticipation. With headlamps piercing the darkness, the team set out for the Island Peak summit in early dawn. Each climbing step felt like a victorious tread. I was prepared for the demands of the climbs, but the unpredictable weather conditions made each step a test of endurance and resilience. I realized there is no guarantee of weather stability in the high-altitude regions. In times of sudden climatic adversity, the expertise of guides with knowledge of terrain and weather patterns ensured our safety and progress. Their calm appearance and reassuring instructions kept me going. Finally, standing atop the Island Peak summit made me realize that I reached the pinnacle of my aspirations. The descent allowed me to reflect on the magnitude of my accomplishments. I felt like Island Peak tested my physical limits, pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and rewarded me with unbeatable beauty and connection. Bidding farewell to the mountain, I felt profound gratitude for the unforgettable experience. Despite the challenges we faced, the guide’s professionalism, commitment to excellence, and client safety shone even in the toughest circumstances. With the expert guidance and unwavering support of guides, the challenging climb turned into moments of triumph and inspiration. Climbing Island Peak was more than a mountaineering expedition. It was a journey of reaching new heights of self-discovery, camaraderie, and reverence for the natural world. I strongly recommend embarking on this remarkable journey for anyone with an adventurous spirit and a love for mountains. Thank you for organizing the trip from beginning to end and ensuring we were okay during the expedition. See you on our upcoming Nepal adventure trip.

I enjoyed my Mera expedition very much as it fully met my expectations. Throughout the whole process Prakash, Team Leader, was absolutely wonderful to work with in organizing the trip. He was always quick to respond to any questions that I had. When I arrived, we met in his office to thoroughly discuss the logistics of the trip, recent weather conditions, etc. During the trip, I found that the lodging was clean, and food was of good quality considering the isolated environment in which were hiking. It is a beautiful area, and the route was never over-crowded. The expedition was well organized and stayed true to the itinerary. My guide, Sonam Sherpa, met me at the airport and throughout the trip he always made me feel safe. Each night he explained the plan for the next day. During the day, he saw to it that I wasn’t overexerting myself and make sure I was hydrating, eating well and resting when I needed to. I appreciated the attention that he gave me as well as his graceful attitude. All this and the acclimatization schedule ensured my success while ascending, summiting and descending. Sonam’s insights into the religion and local culture were an added plus. Without a doubt, one of my best trekking experiences thus far. I would highly recommend this local travel specialist for a wonderful climbing experience.

My partner and I had the most amazing experience with this local travel specialist. We completed the three high passes + EBC trail, with my partner even going on to summit Island Peak (successfully!). Our guide Kanchha Tamang made sure we had the best experience - a well planned itinerary to ensure we acclimatised properly, looking out for any signs of AMS, looking after us when we both got sick with viruses on the trail. We had flexibility to change our itinerary a bit to maximise our chance of the best views as we were walking quicker than expected. Kanchha always made sure we had fun, made great memories, learned lots about the culture and history of the regions we were in, and supported us so well through what can be a pretty challenging few weeks on the trail. We miss him already! Special shout-out to our amazing porter Jiban, without whom the trek would not have been possible and for whom we are so grateful. And another special mention to Rajendra who managed our trip and who goes truly above and beyond for his clients. When we mentioned to Kanchha we were interested in exploring Pokhara after our trek had finished, he called Rajendra who then arranged everything for us (flights, accomodation, recommendations for activities, booked us in for paragliding). When we got stranded in Lukla for a few days due to grounded planes, it is due to the tireless efforts of Kanchha & Rajendra that we were able to get out of the mountains on a helicopter and continue our holiday.

This section of the GHT took us through beautiful, remote, and uncrowded Nepal and included five cols (passes) over 5500m including one over at 6200 m. A unique opportunity to experience glaciers, test ones mountaineering skills and see the 8000s from new perspectives. Thank you to our wonderful group leader, mountain/ climbing guides, incredible porter team and amazing cooks. If you are looking for a serious adventure that will test your fitness and climbing skills this is for you. The highest col is higher than Island Peak!
