I went to Nepal this past October (2011) and trekked to Gokyo Lake/Ri 5357m high with Norsang and High Camp Trekking after reading the recommendations on internet. Thanks! He was completely brilliant, from start to finish. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also a wonderful person. We went on great acclimatization hikes, which seemed to not be a given with all guides, and when we had problems with illness he recommended we take an extra rest day at Dole rather than Marchhermo, which was completely the right decision. For inexperienced trekkers such as ourselves, it was great to have someone we could completely trust with us.

If I go to Nepal again (When, hopefully…) I would definitely go with Norsang again. I recommend his company to anyone, irrespective of experience. If you have any questions please e-mail.

Have a fun in Nepal, its an awesome place!

Sincerely,
Mark

C’est le troisième trek que j’ai fait avec Norsang Lama (trekinfo@gmail.com). La première fois dans le Kangchenjunga en 2004, puis un combiné Mustang-Dolpo en 2009 et en 2011 un trek de 29 jours : les vallées de Naar et Phu, le thorung-la et le Mustang d’est en ouest. Parfaite organisation, aussi bien en camping qu’en Lodge, convivialité, professionnalisme. La préparation fut aisée, les échanges de mail rapides. Norsang comprend très bien votre envie et propose des itinéraires bien adaptés. C’est une petite agence très sérieuse et au niveau des prix très bien placée. Je recommande vivement.

That is the third trek I have done with Norsang Lama. The first time in Kangchenjunga in 2004, then in Mustang-Dolpo in 2009 and in 2011 a 29 days’ trek: the valleys of Naar and Phu, Thorong-la and Mustang from east to west. It’s perfect organization for camping and also Lodge trek, conviviality, professionalism. The preparation has been easy; mails’ exchanges have been quick. Norsang understands very well what you feel like doing and offers adapted itineraries. That is a small agency very serious which offers good prices. I highly recommend High Camp Trekking Pvt. Ltd and managing/guide services for Trekking in Nepal.

Thank you very much!

Somos una pareja española que hemos hecho el trek circular del Annapurna con Sanjaya Lama, de High Camp Treking, agencia regentada por él mismo, su hermano Norsang Lama y su padre Chheduk Man Lama. Recomendamos vivamente esta empresa familiar a quien esté interesado en conocer Nepal, sea la actividad que sea la que tengáis pensado llevar a cabo en el país. Corroboramos absolutamente todo lo que podréis leer en su página web.

El trato que ofrecen es de lo más familiar que os podáis imaginar y se nota que aman su país y sus montañas. Desde el momento en que llegas a Katmandú se convierten en vuestro ángel de la guarda. No te dejan ni a sol ni a sombra, con la ventaja de que están perfectamente preparados para ejercer también de guías turísticos: capaces de explicar sus religiones principales y, en consecuencia, todo lo que ves en los múltiples templos que vas visitando. De este modo, se convierten con total naturalidad en amigos, maîtres en todas las comidas, relaciones públicas (te consiguen la mejor habitación posible en los diversos lodges) y todo lo que queráis…
Además, se adaptarán perfectamente a vuestras necesidades particulares tal como nos ocurrió a nosotros, que precisábamos algún día libre en Kathmandu para asuntos privados y Sanjaya no dudo en ofrecerse a acompañarnos fuera de programa haciendo de traductor, consiguiéndonos taxis, etc.

Por último, otra de sus grandes ventajas es que al tratarse de una empresa familiar, están en condiciones de ofrecer unos precios altamente competitivos en comparación con cualquier otra agencia de Nepal. Para cualquier información adicional podéis escribirme a:

On my first visit to Nepal I had a wonderful time trekking to EBC in February, at the end of the winter season. I had little trekking experience and Norsang helped ensure that I was well prepared and guided me every step of the way. Right from being picked up from the Airport Norsang organized everything around my requirements and I was able to focus on just enjoying the experience. After the trek he took me on fascinating sightseeing tours around Kathmandu. Norsang not only knows the Everest region but all around Nepal and I highly recommend Norsang as a guide to anybody visiting or trekking in Nepal.

Norsang Lama email is trek.guide@gmail.com he is licensed by the country of Nepal and has been a trekking guide over 10 years.

We appreciated very much the Langtang – Gosainkunda Lake – Helambu Trek for 12 days with Norsang Lama and his team at High Camp Trekking. You have organized for us during our holidays in Nepal, end of October 2010. It gave us fantastic opportunities to see the Mt. Langtang Lirung (7234m) and to visit the Gosainkunda Lakes region. Then, we were able to walk down to Kathmandu, with very scenic views of the Helambu area.

Our group included 3 ladies and 6 gentlemen, all French citizens, between 30 and 60+ years of age. The way you had organized this trek was very professional: adequate balance between walking times and rest times, good selection of nice places to enjoy tea breaks, lunch and night accommodations, etc… In all circumstances, you always provided good advices and high altitude safety concern. Furthermore your team (5 porters) did a great job in supporting us during the trek. You were taken good care of us upon our arrival in Nepal and during our whole stay in Kathmandu.

If we have the chance to come back to beautiful Nepal for another trek, we will for sure get in touch with you and your team to help us organizing it.
