We’ve Run Four Adventurous Treks Together Now, Each To A Different Location In Nepal Including The Khumbu, Makalu And Kangchenjunga Regions.

I’ve been guiding treks and climbs in Nepal for more than four decades, and in that time I’ve worked with a number of outfitters. I currently work with Himal Tamang at Visit Himalaya Treks, and I can say without hesitation that he runs a totally dependable first-class operation. There are none better in my long experience. We’ve run four adventurous treks together now, each to a different location in Nepal including the Khumbu, Makalu and Kangchenjunga regions.

Visit Himalaya always provides the best in services, from the excellent trekking cooks to the expert trek leadership. Himal Tamang himself is always available to help with logistics, which are thoroughly and professionally dealt with. If we want or need yaks, he provides them. If we want helicopter access, Himal arranges this without a hitch. No detail is too much for them. I have complete faith in every aspect of the trek when I work with Himal at Visit Himalaya Treks. I highly recommend Visit Himalaya Treks for any trek or climb in Nepal.
