    Testimonials

    From the people we've climbed with

    Himlung was my first expedition above 7,000 metres, and I couldn't have chosen a better team. Base Camp was far beyond my expectations, the three-day climbing training gave me real confidence on the fixed ropes, and the Sherpa team was outstanding throughout.

    I couldn't have chosen a better company for my Everest Base Camp Trek. Our guide Suman was knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to share information about the mountains and local culture, while our porter worked incredibly hard with a smile every day. The service we received was excellent, especially considering the reasonable price. It was truly outstanding value for money.

    Mingma Tashi Sherpa was an amazing leader during our Himlung Himal Expedition. He is strong, experienced, and always looked after every team member, making sure we stayed safe and had the best chance of reaching the summit. I highly recommend Mingma Tashi Sherpa to anyone planning to climb Himlung Himal because he is a reliable, dedicated, and professional guide who makes the expedition much easier and more successful.
