Great Himalaya Trail Climbing Tours 2024/2025

“Set out in May 2017 for my first ever Himalayan trek. By good fortune I chose the GHT Langtang via Tilman Pass route. Highlights included the Game of Thornes like rhododendron forests and atmospheric pilgrimage site of Panch Pokhari. My favourite day started camping on a boulder field by the glacier just below the 5,300 Tilman pass. The walk over the pass delivered a truly spectacular vista of mountains front, side and rear before descending into the remote Langtang Valley. The trek down the valley took four days and we saw the after effects of the earthquake as we passed through alpine yak pastures, forests beside the mighty Langtang River and then near sub-topical jungle before arriving at Syabru Besi. The organisation throughout was excellent, the porters and Sherpas really helpful and the guides (led by Bikesh) were excellent. The campsites were well chosen and the equipment was in good conditions. The food was tasty, wholesome and in large portions. Most importantly the whole team, trekkers and support staff alike got on really well. All in all a wonderful introduction to Himalayan trekking. Thank you to our tour company.”

“What can one say to sum up five months crossing the Himalaya from east to west Nepal It has everything from high mountain passes and days in the snow, low land agricultural areas and the summer heat, the high and dry regions of Dolpo, and finally the wet monsoon rains of the west. The challenges one faces on a journey of this length are not just physical, but also mental; getting up and walking for 6-8 hours day in, day out, rain or shine. However the experiences and people you meet along the way, whether fellow clients, the amazing staff, or the local Nepalese make it all worth while, and ensure every one of the 152 days contains a different highlight. To spend five months in Nepal is an amazing and eye opening experience which Id recommend to anyone with the time, resources and personal drive to do. A definite challenge but well worth the effort.”

“This has been the most amazing experience anyone could ever think of doing. I have come so far, over 1700kms across this beautiful country, and over 29 high passes and been above 6000m. And not to mention the kind hearted people of Nepal, always full of joy and rich in culture, that we have met along this journey.For me this has been a very personal adventure and the sense of achievement I cant tell you how proud I am of myself. Ill take from this experience to propel me forward in life.The staff have done a phenomenal job on this journey, so tirelessly hard working. Its not quite over yet, still 2 days to go before we get back to Simikot, it makes me happy that its not over! Were now retracing steps back to Simikot and our flight out, its a strange feeling after traversing the country completely in the opposite direction, however this short return section offers a different perspective of the stunning views and I feel its fitting to be facing the mountains we have travelled over.I have been extremely happy with my gear that has served me well along this 152 day journey, its kept me comfortable and given me confidence in all the extreme conditions we have encountered. Although this journey is about to end I cant help thinking of the next thing, future goals, perhaps a trip to New Zealand and a mountaineering course to learn the skills to climb the mountains we have passed beneath over the last 5 months! When I return home I hope to inspire others to get out there, especially the youth, to get out there and get amongst it, there is so much out there.Personally, I would like to thank the tour company for making it possible, its a huge undertaking to organize and execute such a logistically complicated journey. Its really opened my eyes a lot, and its changed my life, when I return home the plan is to live more simply, at home we take so much for granted, here, there is so little, people have so little, and they are happy, and they have touched my heart.”
