I have found this company and entire crew are very professional and friendly with deep knowledge. Don’t missed your any kind of trip in Nepal with them guys. Highly recommend.
WOW is all I can say about the trip. Narayan and staff were amazing throughout the entire process. Friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything for my trip. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused them to both work into the night to get resolution on. Of course being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.
I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.
I first toured Nepal in 2012, and was paired with a local guide named Udaya (Narayan) Thapa. Travelling as a young, lone female, I had my guard up when I first arrived. However, it was not necessary because Narayan was such an incredibly talented and supported guide that I left Nepal wanting more adventure and booked a second tour a year later!
EBC, or Everest Base Camp, was my first experience in the Himalayans. The culture, citizens, hospitality, and breathtaking views was more than I could take in at once. Yes, I chose to climb the most popular trek in the nation, but with that comes many positives: peace of mind that I'll meet like minded people, that there will be some small amenities for me, that my friends and family back home have heard of it before, and that I could do some research. Go ahead and research all you want, but nothing prepares you for the views of watching of a storm unfold below you.
Narayan and the sherpa's he hired completely prepared me for each day. I knew how much water to drink, what foods I should eat (garlic soup!), what foods to avoid (unfortunately alcohol haha), and how much "mountain flat" terrain I would expect to traverse in a certain period of time. Narayan knew my limits and could accurate foresee when I needed to break and when I could push myself (basically never because thats not safe). He helped me with the ponding headaches too! At the end of the trek, he took some time out of his own day to show me where the mall was so I could decompress and have some food. We really did become friends.
I missed the mountains the moment I left. I missed the laughter, the language and the views! The quiet from the (2/3 of the way up) to the top of the world. I went back. This time I brought two friends. I wired two thousand dollars over from Canada and trusted that Narayan would be there to get us at the airport; and of course he was! He values his customers more than we value the experience of touring his majestic country.
The second time around we hiked around Annapurna, completing the Manaslu Circuit. Walking the pass was at the height of our trek, after days of going up, was surreal. Narayan said I would be taking long slow steps and he wasn't joking. My advice? Listen to your guide! He knows best.
Whatever tour you decide to book, you won't regret it. I've been wanting to return for almost ten years now, and haven't made it back. When you get there, say hi to Narayan for me :)
Discover Altitude was extremely helpful from start to finish!
Friends of ours suggested using Narayan and his services and after completion of the trip we are happy to say: it was perfect !
You can tell that he has 20+ years of experience trekking up to the EBC aa he knows EVERYTHING from lodges, cafes and the surrounding places
Being fluent in in English, he would give every detail of the mountain peaks, their heights, and how and when they were first summited.
What is extra-ordinary was the way Narayan looked after our group and provided extra services that isn’t easy to get in those remote locations.
He went out of his way to make sure we were well cared for and it was an experience of a life-time we will never forget.
I was with discover altitude trekking company and I found their service delivery was great. Their guides and porter are frendly and professional as well as knowledgeable. We did have great moments and memories all the the way to Everest base camp trek. We highly recommend.
We are really glad with the service they provided all good services and professional guide in our trip to Everest base camp.
