Our Team

Chheduk Man Lama
- Managing director
Namaste (greetings)! To everyone.

My name is Chheduk Man Lama, and I am the owner and managing director of High Camp Trekking. I have been working as a Sirdar (guide) since 1975. From 1975 to 1999, I worked with several well-known commercial trekking companies, leading groups on treks and mountaineering expeditions. I have successfully guided expeditions in Nepal, including climbs to Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters, the world’s third-highest peak), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters, the sixth-highest peak), and Mt. Makalu (8,463 meters, the fifth-highest peak). Additionally, I have led numerous expeditions to popular trekking peaks, including Island Peak, Mera Peak, Lobuche Peak, Naya Kanga, and Pisang Peak.

Through my experiences, I have provided services to numerous clients and gained extensive knowledge of trekking and mountaineering, which enables me to offer exceptional services to our guests.

I have also traveled extensively as a guide to various peaks in India’s Ladakh, Kashmir, and Darjeeling, as well as Bhutan, Pakistan’s K-2 Base Camp, and China’s Everest Advance Base Camp (North Side), Lhasa, Xigatse, Mansarovar Lake, Mt. Kailash, Purang, Tirthapuri, and Kuka.

In 1993, I visited the USA as a tourist for three months.

I run High Camp Trekking, my own agency, alongside my three sons, Norsang, Sanjay, and Samden, as part of our family business. With extensive experience in adventure tourism, I am eager to share my knowledge with clients and future generations. I wish all our clients had enjoyable, fun, and memorable treks and climbing experiences in the Himalayas of Nepal with our guides. Thank you very much!


Norsang Lama
- Director of Operations
Namaste and warm greetings to everyone!

My name is Norsang Lama, and I am the owner and manager of High Camp Trekking. I began my journey in the trekking industry in 1998. My father, Chheduk Man, was a successful trekking guide, and I initially joined his team as a porter/carrier. I spent three years working as a porter, participating in large trekking groups across various popular trekking destinations in Nepal. During this time, with my father’s guidance, I learned about different mountains, villages, Nepal’s geography, and the local people’s cultures.

I studied at the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management, where I completed a Trekking Guide course and training in 2001. I then worked as an assistant guide for my father’s sizeable trekking group for two years. Eventually, I became a professional trekking guide, successfully leading clients to the base camps and high passes of all eight-thousand-meter peaks in the Himalayas of Nepal.

I have successfully guided clients to the summits of notable peaks, including Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters), Manaslu (8,163 meters), Ama Dablam (6,812 meters), Mera Peak (6,470 meters), Island Peak (6,165 meters), Lobuche East Peak (6,119 meters), Pisang Peak (6,091 meters), and Thorung Ri (6,144 meters) over the years. Through my extensive experience and training in trekking and mountaineering, I have gained valuable insights into the adventure tourism sector in Nepal, which has equipped me to manage a trekking company effectively.

I can provide detailed information about any trekking destination in Nepal, organize treks and mountaineering expeditions, and communicate with potential customers to plan their trips. On behalf of the High Camp Trekking team, I warmly welcome you to High Camp Trekking. Thank you very much!


Sanjay Lama
- Trek guide
Namaste and warm greetings from Sanjay Lama!

I was born in 1977 and am the eldest son of Chheduk Man Lama. My journey in the trekking industry began in 1997 when I started working alongside my father, a successful and respected trekking guide. I studied at the Nepal Academy of Tourism & Hotel Management to advance my career and completed the Trekking Guide course and training in 2001. I am a licensed and officially recognized trekking guide by the Government of Nepal, and I have been leading treks since then.

I am fluent in English and French and have received Wilderness First Aid training. I have successfully led large groups to various popular trekking destinations. I often venture off the beaten path during high-altitude treks in the Himalayas of Nepal to enhance the trekking experience. In 2002, I completed my first major Himalayan climb by reaching the summit of Island Peak (6,160 meters).

I am always ready to take clients to the Himalayas and can help ensure your journey is safe, enjoyable, and memorable. I aim to provide you with the best trekking experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. “Come as a client and leave as a friend!”
