In Oct 2016, my wife and I engaged Samden (guide) and Ganga (porter) through High Camp Trekking for a 13 day Annapurna Circuit trek. Norsang from HCT and Samden came to our hotel and were very thorough explaining what to expect, checking that we had adequate gear, how to stay healthy & fit for the trek. Norsang was helpful & responsive by email prior to our trip. Samden & Ganga took great care of us from when we commenced our journey by public bus from Kathmandu through to our farewell in Jomsom. Daily, Samden checked how we were, suggested good distances to walk, gave helpful caring useful advice. Samden knew the trek very well, giving a good overview & insights for each day, highlighting places along the way & always helpfully answering questions. They were always cheerful with a good sense of humour. Samden has a very caring nature. We were able to develop a good relationship with both Samden & Ganga and recommend them along with Norsang.

Our experience un Nepal has been incredible. We didn’t have much time to do a long trekking and thought that may be a problem. We were so wrong. Norsang from High Camp Trekking managed to offer a very good short trekking (5 days) Gandrung Circuit in the end of September 2016. The landscapes were amazing and everything was scheduled, we didn’t have to worry about anything. He provides excellent service and he is always caring for the well being of the clients. Very professional in his job and reliable person. When we come back, we will do a longer trekking with High Camp Trekking without a doubt. Flexibility and professionalism are the symbols of the company and the people involved.

If you are looking for an experienced and trustworthy guide you are definitely right here! You don’t have to look any further than Norsang and Sanjay and their company. My sister, a friend of mine and me absolutely loved our time and trek in Nepal! We did the 16 days Annapurna Circuit trek in April/May 2016. Everything was super organized: airport pick up, trek schedule with day’s worked in to acclimate to the high altitude, briefings, clean accommodations with cozy rooms (Sanjay (our guide) always gets the room with the best view for us). The trek was just incredible. Challenging, especially the way to Tilicho Lake, but absolutely worth it! The nature scenery is just stunning, nature is still the best artist. We learned a lot about flora and fauna, the Nepalese culture and history and all the different kinds of Buddhism and ethnic groups. But beside all that it’s Norsang, Sanjay, Milan & Rajendra (our porters) who really made this time memorable! They are amazing! All the funny evenings playing cards, their precious advice, engagement and enthusiasm, knowledgeable and so heartily, always helpful and taking care of us. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you guys! We will surely always remember! See you next time! I can’t say enough good things about them. Without any hesitation I can highly recommend High Camp Trekking!

We absolutely loved our visit to Nepal. We visited in March to Early April 2016. We highly recommend High Camp Trekking. The route we chose was EBC (Everest Base Camp). Our guide was Sanjay Lama (Norsang’s brother). For our family of 5 (with childern 9, 13, and 15) we had 3 porters (Furi, Pasang, Jungbu) plus Sanjay our guide. Jungbu hiked with us and it worked out great to have an additional helper on all the hiking days. Sanjay and Norsang came to meet us the day before we flew to Lukla to talk about the trip and took us to get last minute items in Thamel. On the trek we stayed at good tea houses and always had good opations for food at each location. We were a unique group in that we had children. We did not see many children on the trek, but we felt confident with our guide and the schedule they planned with days worked in to acclimate to the high altitude. We did experience some illness and some high altitude issue, but the flexibility of the schedule helped us and we were able to successfully make it to Everest Base Camp and back safely and within the time we had planned. We highly recommend you to with High Camp Trekking. I made inquiries with other companies and individuals and I feel very fortunate that we got great service and value for the money spent with High Camp Trekking .

Norsang Lama did another incredible job as our guide from my wife Melissa and me through the Upper Mustang area of Nepal. We are 59 and 60 years old. This is our second trip with Norsang (first time was Langtang). Norsang is a wonderful and very experienced guide. He knows the terrain, the trails and where to stay. He matches the pace of his guests and watches closely for any issues (there were none). We made a couple of changes to the route and he easily accommodated our requests. On top of all this, he is just a good guy. He is now not only our absolutely “go to ” Nepali guide, he is our friend. We would never use anyone else. Never. End of Story. Please contact me for more information or questions.
