Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour via EBC and Kathmandu Sightseeing

Page and I want you to know just how much we enjoyed our trip through Tibet into Nepal. All of the arrangements you made for us were excellent.

When we left the train station in Lhasa, we saw our guide, Migmar holding up a sign with our name on it. From then until we left Migmar and our driver, Jong Dong. at the border in Zhangmu, we were in good hands. Jong Dong is an excellent driver and Migmar proved to be a walking encyclopedia on all things Tibet. Page and I both agree that the highlight of our entire trip was our visit to Everest Base Camp. We highly recommend that all of your guests spend a night in one of the tents at base camp. Sorry, but we can’t say the same about the hotel in Tingri.

The Hotel Courtyard in Kathmandu was just what we needed, a quite oasis in the center of bustling Thamel neighborhood. After eight days above 12,000 feet, the rich air was also just what we needed. Our tour of the City with Dr Krishna Kharel was exciting. I particularly enjoyed the Durbar Square area. The food and entertainment at our departure dinner was a rare treat.

Thank you and all of your staff at Himalayan Glacier Trekking for making our trip an adventure to remember. Page is already talking about a tour of India for our next vacation.

Thanks again,

Our wonderful trek to Everest Base Camp

we wanted to take a moment and let you know how wonderful our trip to Nepal was. The trek to Everest Base Camp was amazing. Our trek leader Giri and our helper Ram were incredible. They were truly professional. Giri was not only our trekking guide but also our cultural historian, medic, negotiator, city tour guide and so much more. He was very open with the hundreds of questions we had about the trek, the country, the people and the culture. We could not have asked for a better guide. We were amazed at the abilities of our porter Ram, his gentle smile and gentle nature are truly remarkable.

We would recommend Himalayan Glacier Trekking without reservation to anyone who was considering a trip to Nepal. We are considering using your company for next year’s trek to either Annapurna or Tibet and Bhutan.

In addition thank you Tony for answering all my questions and alleviating my concerns prior to departing for Nepal. You were quick to respond to all my questions and I very much appreciate that. Also thank you for personalizing our trip and recommending that we leave a day early, as we were able to catch the flight to Lukla when we needed to.

Best,

Everest Base Camp Trek and Grate value !

“My daughter I selected HGT from the internet. The claims made were all fulfilled and the team very efficient, knowledgeable, caring and fun to be with. They added value to the trek itself. The trek was all we could have hoped for and a never to be forgotten experience. I would recommend HGT without reservation to anyone planning a trek in Nepal”

Amazing Success of Himalayan Glacier Trekking: All 40 People Reached EBC at Once Including 84-Year-Old Lady!!

In 14 years’ professional phase of my life as a trekking guide, it was going to be a wonderful event associated with my professional responsibility. I established myself as a trekking guide several years before; it was my passion. I have always found my task exciting with huge liability, but that day I was feeling a bit of challenge in my responsibility but was cheerful indeed to face it.

The news my boss cracked me through the call was about a group coming for Everest Base camp trekking for which he declared I was selected as a guide. Although this news is accustomed to me,  the event was going to be special as the group I was going to guide was of 40 people. I can’t exactly figure out how many hundreds/thousands of trekkers I might have guided through the various routes of Everest region, Annapurna region, Langtang region and through many more other trekking routes of Nepal. Even, I don’t remember how many times I reach only the Everest Base Camp annually, I was feeling the moment– a milestone. We discussed at our office regarding management of each things, the meeting at last concluded that only a guide was not sufficient to get the goal—take all those 40 people to Everest Base Camp. Management decided to send altogether three guides (Mr. Hom Nath Bhatta and Mr. Prakash Amgai beyond me) for this trip as there were majority of elderly trekkers in this group. Again, the office generously decided to provide us with eight assistant guides except 13 porters and 5 yaks for this project.

British School Manila in Nepal / Annapurna Trek

On behalf of the teachers and students of the British School Manila, I would like to thank you and your team for an absolutely fabulous trip. Just the logistics of getting 46 students and 6 teachers from one place to another was a remarkable feat which was accomplished with great success, and then there was the accommodating and feeding on top of that.

Your guides were very professional and worked tirelessly each day to ensure that all of the students enjoyed their stay in Nepal and that the trek to the Annapurnas and Poon Hill went without a hitch.

On the way down one villager commented that our party, with a total of 80 people, including the guides and porters was the biggest group that he could remember seeing. Once again due to your excellent arrangements.

A big thank you to all at Himalayan Glacier for making this a wonderful and memorable trip for so many. I would recommend you without reservation and you will certainly be first on my list if I need someone to organise another trip to the Himalaya.

Annapurna Trek & Himalayan Glacier in the New York Time

THE path is wide, the terrain easy, yet I keep losing my footing, tripping over stones and my own feet because I can’t watch the trail. My eyes refuse to leave the white mountain filling the sky before me, the 24,786-foot Himalayan peak Annapurna III. It dominates the horizon as surely as a sunset does, but with millenniums-old glaciers ringing its crest like a necklace of diamonds, it feels more dazzling than even the brightest setting sun.

Just over a third of the way through the legendary 150-mile Annapurna Circuit trek, circling the Annapurna massif in Nepal, I have finally reached a height where no smaller mountains obscure my sightlines to the peaks. Ahead, four days on, lies Thorong La, a daunting 17,769-foot pass, the high point of the circuit and start of the trail back down. But I’ve already reached euphoria. Annapurna III is too everything — tall, close, imposing, beautiful — to be true.
