What an incredible experience! I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Sagarmatha National Park in 2022 and experience trekking in the Himalayas. It had been a long-time dream of mine and I am so grateful that I was able to make and finish the trip.
My friend and I chose to go with High Camp Trekking for the 3 Passes Trek, our guide being Norsang. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the beginning of our contact, Norsang was very responsive to any questions I had about the upcoming trek. During the trek, Norsang demonstrated his experience by making sure we were attuned to important factors like altitude sickness, hydration, nutriton, etc. He also did well to set the pace for us, which can be challenging to get right at high elevation.
I myself have backpacked much in the United States, so I felt well prepared for the trek but decided on seeking out a guide just to be on the safe side and for the peace of mind. After the trip, I can safely say that the experience would have been much less valuable without Norsang with us. I greatly appreciated his keeping us prepared for the challenges of hiking in the area. Norsang also knew a lot of the history of the area and its culture, taking us to some notable monasteries along the way and answering many questions we had about the Everest region. It was a wonderful addition that gave me even more appreciation for the area.
Whether you are an experienced trekker or not, I can highly recommend High Camp Trekking. You will be in good hands for a world-class and unforgettable experience in the mountains.
