During the first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail Trek, which was from Kanchenjunga South Base Camp to Makalu Base Camp, we encountered breathtaking landscapes and difficult terrain. The sherpas who accompanied us were invaluable, sharing their knowledge and expertise and adding cultural richness to our adventure. They pointed out hidden waterfalls and offered valuable insights, making the journey both physically challenging and culturally enriching. As we continued on to the next phase of the trek, from Makalu Base Camp to Everest Base Camp, the scenery became even more awe-inspiring. The towering peaks of the Himalayas surrounded us, their snow-capped summits glistening in the sunlight. We navigated through rocky terrain and crossed icy rivers, relying on our sherpa guides to lead the way. Their unwavering support and encouragement motivated us to push through the physical challenges and reach new heights. Each day brought new experiences and opportunities for personal growth, strengthening our bond as a team and deepening our appreciation for the natural beauty of the region.

At the end of 2018, I started to plan the Kanchenjunga Circuit North to South (22 days) as my next trek in Nepal – the 6th one after doing before, the Langtang, the Lower Mustang, the Annapurna Circuit, and twice the Everest Base Camp 3 passes. I did all those treks with my good friend Nachman – always without a guide, and only the last one with a porter. I scheduled the Kanchenjunga circuit for OCT 1, 2019, so I have plenty of time to study and plan the trek to the very detail. Kanchenjunga Trek is defined by the Nepali authorities as a Restricted Area which can be done with a Licensed Guide! My first step in the plan was, to find a reliable Local operator to work with. I prepared a standard RFQ (Request for Proposal) that I sent to 20 selected companies. In the RFQ I asked for 3 services: A Guide, Porters, and ground transportation (Jeep) - From Bhadarpur to Taplejung and back. I have stated clearly that the prerequisite is a previous proven experience with the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek. After about two months of email back and forth and with 8 companies that were left as appropriate candidates I have decided to work with Pasang Sherpa who managed to provide the most “balanced” offer, and happen to be the most responsive via emails….usually Pasang responds to Email, in details, within few hours or less – I liked it!!! Pasang chooses Nima Sherpa to be our guide. Nima is from the Kanchenjunga Region well familiar with this trek, as he did it several times before. The same applies to one of the Porters who is also from the Kanchenjunga region. The combination of Pasang Sherpa, Nima Sherpa, and the two Porters was a “Winning” combination!!! The professional organization, services, attitude, and concerns were far above any expectations I have. Thank you, Nima for leading us safely along the trek, for taking care of us, and for being so considerate. Special thanks to Pasang Sherpa who managed the whole operation remotely. Thank you, Pasang for the wonderful team Guide and Porters. Please give my sincere appreciation and thanks to the porters who did a great job with a smile! It was my honor to work with both of you – Pasang and Nima! If someone is looking for a professional and reliable company for trekking in challenging remote areas in Nepal –Pasang Sherpa and Nima Sherpa will be a perfect choice !!
The 21 day Kanchenjunga Circuit is an amazing trek to see a remote region and experience the traditional culture of Nepal. Nima Sherpa was my guide, a local from that area, and so knowledgeable about everything. I had an unexpected change of travel plans and Pasang was wonderful in helping and taking care of all the details. I hope to go back one day and look forward to connecting with Pasang again!
