Who we are:
In the early 1970s, when Chheduk Man was young, he descended to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal’s Himalayan region, in search of better job opportunities. He initially found work as kitchen staff for a camping and trekking group, which was the start of his journey towards owning one of the country’s best trekking companies.
Chheduk Man served as kitchen staff for a couple of years. Then, he upgraded his skills and worked as a chef. He prepared delicious and nutritious meals for large groups of people during camping and trekking. Even back in the 70s, camping and trekking were very popular. This is where he realized that the scope of camping and trekking in Nepal was vast. Being someone who grew up in the lap of the Himalayas, Chheduk Man decided to steer his life toward something that served his homeland. He saw an opportunity to be a camping and trekking guide for foreigners. However, he knew he needed further skills to pursue his newfound dream.
Before this, Chheduk Man had never studied or learned a foreign language. However, in 1975, he enrolled in various study centers and institutions to improve his English skills. He continued his language study well into the 80s. He worked as an English-speaking guide for large commercial trekking groups, utilizing his newly acquired language skills. After a few years, he applied for his trekking guide license. In 1984, after completing a four-week guide training course at the Hotel Management and Training Center in Nepal, he received his official trekking guide license.
According to Chheduk Man, the 1970s and 1990s were a golden era for trekking adventures in Nepal. During this time, he worked as a Sirdar (senior team manager and climber) for many trekking groups. He successfully led climbing expeditions to majestic peaks, including Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters), Makalu (8,463 meters), and Dhaulagiri I (8,167 meters).
Until 1998, Chheduk Man worked for various esteemed commercial trekking companies. In 1998, he founded his recommendation group and began working exclusively with his camping and trekking group. He initiated his recommendation group as a family business and employed his sons, Sanjay, Norsang, and Samden, as porters for his clients. All three of Chheduk Man’s sons are following in their footsteps and have already become officially licensed guides in Nepal. In 2010, Chheduk Man registered his trekking company, High Camp Trekking, with the government offices of Nepal as a family-run trekking business operating in the Himalayas. Today, Chheduk Man, with his sons Sanjay, Norsang, and Samden, works together at High Camp Trekking, whose principal office is in Kathmandu, Nepal. High Camp Trekking has quickly gained a reputation for being a tremendous trekking company that caters to Nepalese and foreigners’ camping and trekking needs.
What we do in the Himalayas in Nepal:
We run teahouse treks in popular destinations such as Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang, and Kanchenjunga. We select some of the best teahouses for each trek and pre-book rooms at these teahouses for every busy season.
Camping is a relatively forgotten activity in Nepal today, although it was once a popular trend in the 1970s and 1990s. We run camping treks in trekking destinations such as Dhaulagiri, Dolpo, Limi Valley, and Rongbuk, where teahouses have not yet been established.
We also conduct snowy peak climbing as part of an organized camping service. Our cook (chef) prepares daily fresh meals with delicious varieties of Nepali, Western, Indian, and Tibetan food for camping groups.
Our mission and vision:
At High Camp Trekking, we strive to provide you with a safe and unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Himalayas. Your safety is always our priority. We also ensure that every step of your adventure in the Himalayas is an enjoyable and memorable experience. Our guides are knowledgeable and familiar with the routes, local languages, ethnic groups, and culture that stretches from east to west across the Himalayas of Nepal. They can also provide map reading, navigation, mountain safety (including snow and avalanche risks), and first aid training in the wilderness. We have a backup team in Kathmandu with 24-hour support in place for added safety measures when a group is heading to the Himalayas.
To provide our clients with exceptional service, we continually encourage our guides to participate in the latest training sessions for trekking and climbing in the Himalayas. We also stay up-to-date with the latest trekking equipment and techniques. To ensure a memorable experience, we research new trekking areas and routes you can enjoy. Furthermore, our guides, cooks, and porters are insured and provided with all necessary equipment during the trek, enabling us to serve you in the best possible way.

Responsible for Trekking and Tourism:
All our guides and cooks have environmental training and are very aware of the delicate Ecosystem we enter. We suggest that everyone drink boiled or purified water from tablets instead of bottled water during the trek. We use kerosene or LP gas for cooking meals during the camping trip. Our trekking crews clean the campsite before they leave, ensuring the environment is preserved for the days ahead.
