My fiancée and I had the trip of a lifetime in Nepal with Norsang Lama as our guide and Prakash as our porter in the beginning of February 2018. We had been traveling around Southeast Asia and knew we wanted to come and do a trek in Nepal, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I started doing an insane amount of research, sending lots of emails, and I found High Camp Trekking. SO GLAD I DID! Norsang responded to my email right away with a great price, great itinerary, and clearly a lot of knowledge. I was nervous about actually booking a trip, but he made it easy to take the plunge! He sent us the itinerary, costs, list of equipment that we would need, and ways for us to get in shape for the trek. I felt very secure and confident going into it because he made me feel like I could do it, even with little trekking experience. We did the Pikey Peak Cultural trek, which was 7 days (9 days including transportation) and it was perfect for my skill level (actually quite a bit challenging for me!). The peak is at 4067m so the altitude affected me a tad, but Norsang was there to help guide us and keep us feeling healthy and safe. We even got to see Everest which was definitely a highlight!! Before we started trekking, he got us situated in the hotel, went over all the details, and he even took us to the monkey temple to teach us about Buddhism and other aspects of Nepalese culture (which he did throughout the trek as well). Also, when we got back to Kathmandu, he brought us to his home for lunch which was a perfect and generous way to end the trip. His encouragement and patience throughout the whole process was amazing and I would recommend him to anyone! My fiancée and I plan on coming back and doing another trek with him someday! Thank you for everything!
