TREKKING IN NEPAL

My friend and I used Climb High Himalaya to organize an attempt on Island Peak during October 2014. Before arriving in Kathmandu, neither of us had heard about the various ‘Trekking Peaks’ found throughout Nepal. After reading a snippet in a Lonely Planet guide, we were convinced that we had to give it a shot and set out to meet with each of the five or so climbing outfits recommended in the guidebook. Since neither my friend nor I had any previous climbing experience, it was very important to us that we did our homework and found the most reputable agency. After meeting with each of the groups to discuss cost, timing, logistics, etc., Climb High was the clear choice. The price for a three day climb of Island Peak was comparable to the other groups we spoke with, but the level of service and professionalism was far superior.

We dealt primarily with the owner, Amber, who was a pleasure to work with and who consistently exceeded our expectations. Since Climb High’s offices are located right at the heart of Thamel, we found ourselves meeting with Amber quite frequently in the days leading up to our departure, asking not only about the climb, but really any question we had about Nepal generally. He was a fantastic resource and a genuinely caring person. We ended up going to dinner more than once — not just as clients but as friends!
If you are considering a trek or a climb in Nepal, you simply can’t go wrong choosing Climb High. It is a first-rate outfit run by sincere and knowledgeable guides who will go out of their way to look after you.
Everyone back home wants to hear about the trekking / Island Peak and I’m happy to share the story! It truly was an unforgettable experience and I’m thankful to Climb High. It was great getting to know Climb High — it’s a great group.
