I spent about 3 weeks last December with Dawa, Sital and Sonam and I couldn't ask for anything better! Dawa was able to organise a perfect trekking route and timing to Everest base camp and Island Peak and, more important, he let me understood the beauty of the Country and people. Starting from a warm welcome to inspiring conversations, Dawa is the friend you want to meet at the other side of the world.
During the whole trekking tour I was supported by Sital, what an incredible person he is! He had always profound respect for my personality and decisions and he made me feel extremely comfortable. He patiently answered to all my questions and never let me felt alone. Moreover, his ability, strength and sense of orientation let you feel safe and protected. We laughed a lot together; if the Himalaya mountains became so precious in my heart, it is certainly thanks to him!
Climbing the Island Peak was much more difficult than expected and the successful was thanks to Sonam. A talented and never tired climbing guide, well organised and patient! He pushed me to my best!
Unfortunately, because of weather conditions we were not able to arrive to Gokyo.
Fortunately, I found such beautiful people that it will be very spontaneous for me to go back, trek to Gokyo and start next adventure with them: Amadablam in 2022, see you soon my friends!
Awesome guides and genuine experience! I could not have asked for a better tour everything was explained and went exceptionally well! No hidden costs, I did the everest base camp hike at the end of October-November 2019 it has been one of the best times of my life and tramping himalaya made it a easy experience 😁😁
I wanted to do a guided hike to Annapurna Base Camp, but didnt want to do the standard itinerary that came with most other operators. Dawa, who runs Tramping Himalaya, organised exactly what I wanted, with high standard services (good quality hotels at the start and end of trek) for a fair price.
Whilst trekking, my guide gave me options along the way, allowing my friend and I to choose which towns we wanted to stop at and how far we felt we could walk each day.
I would highly recommend reaching out to Tramping Himalaya if you are interested in a guided hike in Nepal. The service was exceptional.
Tramping Himalaya were absolutely outstanding and incredibly professional. I would absolutely recommend them and trust them to get you to where you need to go in the Himalayas. I did the trek to Everest base camp with these guys and would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much for taking care of us and doing such an excellent job. 👍
The Tramping Himalayas team safety got me to the summit of Island peak (6189m) and we were the only successful summit of the day! Island peak is a technical climb where you leave base camp at 1AM and Summit at sunrise. My summit guide (big Kancha) has submitted Everest on many occasions and it clearly showed. He was patient, understanding and encouraging. Even in the complete dark, he had no problem navigating Island Peak and finding the route around the rock walls to get us to the crampon point, and eventually summit (it's clear he'd done it plenty of times).
Our porter (little Kancha) was always friendly and got equipment to our next destination quickly. Total legend!
Finally, big thanks to our guide Dawa who took me to cho-la pass, Kala patar, Everest base camp and Gokyo Ri for acclimisation (he used to work for a long time at a major trekking company). I didn't suffer any altitude sickness and it's clear everything was done properly. Everything was ready at Island peak base camp when we got there.
lt was an amazing experience and I wouldn't hesitate to use Tramping Himalayas in the future for my first 7000m+ ascent. Thanks guys, greatest 3 weeks of my life!
