A trekking adventure in Nepal was one of the most awaited moments of our round the world trip. Before we left for out travels a friend gave us Norsang’s contact and told us to get in touch with him should we need a guide in Nepal. We trusted our friend’s advise and decided to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with High Camp Trekking in April 2014. The contact with Norsang was smooth and efficient. Even before meeting him we could tell we were dealing with a very professional person. Norsang picked us up from the Airport and then let us in the hands of Sanjay, his older brother and our guide for the trek, and Rejendra, our young and super fit porter. Together with Sanjay and Rajendra we spent 13 wonderful days. The trek was absolutely amazing. Every day of the trek was perfectly organized, the lodges were clean and comfortable, the food was tasty and the daily schedule always allowed us some free time to rest and visit the villages where we stayed. Sanjay is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a lot of questions about Nepal and the Himalayas, thanks to him we learned many things about this beautiful country. Sanjay always walked at a comfortable pace so that we were never too tired at the end of the day and fit for the next. Rajendra is a very fine and strong you man. Even if his English is very basic we still managed to communicate with him and appreciated his company during the trek. We met Norsang again after the trek in Kathmandu and he helped us to extend our visa. We cannot thank High Camp Trekking enough for their kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend their services and if one day we come back to Nepal we will certainly do another trekking with them!

I went trekking the EBC with Norsang, Parkasn and a group of helpful, friendly porters last year, that was 2013. I went on traveling until the end of March, 2014. Now, I recall the whole experience and keep amaze how well Norsang have organized our trip and thinking of returning to Nepal to further on going to another trekking with them.

We decided to go trekking with Norsang after trawling online forums for recommendations. We chose the Annapurna Circuit for a 16 days trek in February 2014. After contacting a number of possible independent guides and companies, Norsang provided the most comprehensive and detailed response with a background of our kit requirements, route to be taken what was or was not included and transport details. We requested some small changes to our itinerary (walking a section instead of taking a bus). Norsang was quite flexible and proposed an alternate plan that did what we wanted. Along the way we both found Norsang to be a very good guide with plenty of experience and a good head for making decisions on the trail but also a good host and a wealth of information about the local environment, culture, history, religion, politics and Nepal in general. He is also a great guy to get on with and speaks good English. Norsang was a great guide and the way the trek was structured with included food and accommodation made our live a lot easier and more straightforward when things got a little tougher. During our trek we had many comments (compliments) from others with and without guides that we had been lucky with our choice of guide and after 2 weeks on the road in various conditions I have to agree!

In 2013 we have completed the Manalsu Circuit Trek in November (prior to that we have done the full Annapurna Circuit with Chheduk Man Lama in October 2010). We would like to express our gratitude to Norsang Lama and his staff, especially Resham (guide) and Maila Tamang (porter). Thanks to Norsang and his team’s good will, fantastic organizational skills, advise and knowldege we had the most memorable time. We would highly recommend The ‘High Camp Trekking’ company to anyone wishing to visit Nepal. Norsang made everything we hoped for possible and within our reach.

Best wishes!

Just got back from a fantastic trip in Nepal with two good mates. The whole experience was run really smoothly by our guide Norsang Lama (from the time he picked us up at the airport till he farewelled us two and a half weeks later). I also chose Norsang based on reiviews I had read by many of his previous happy clients and I was not disapointed. We had Norsang (guide) and his Uncle and younger brother as porters on the Annapurna BAse Camp trek in Jan 2013. Everthing was run so well. Norsang helped us hire good sleeping bags/geear at really good prices, arranged all our permits, transport, accommodation, meals etc, etc. He also had a fanstactic knowledge of all the mountains, villages etc. He and his Uncle and Brother also introduced us to Nepal card games in the evenings and even some great Nepali music along the way! He was a very thoughtful guide always putting our needs and wants first. He had the flexibiltiy to change our itierary if we wanted to change (ie. speed up or slow down) and always made sure that we were having a great experience.

His company is called High Camp Trekking.
