Norsang was a fantastic and professional guide who led me on an amazing trek through Tsum Valley and onto the Manaslu circuit. Our safety was his top priority combined with brilliant knowledge of the surrounding mountains and communities we met on our journey. When arriving at guest houses he always ensured to get us the best deal and would go above and beyond to help prepare our food. I couldn’t recommend him enough and if I were to return to Nepal I would be sure to use his service again!

Our first time trekking in Nepal – and it was a fantastic experience. The scenery was amazing, we had great weather and good company. The trek was not easy – a lot of steps, but quite achievable. The accommodation was comfortable and we had plenty of food. Many thanks to our guides Norsang and Biren, who kept us safe, on schedule, in good spirits, and who organized everything we needed. They were great, as well as the porters who did the hard work!

Norsang was very helpful when we were planning the trek and trip to Chitwan after the trek. He was really quick responding to emails, helpful with suggestions regarding the trek, safety, and preparation, upfront with the (very reasonable) pricing, and made the whole trip enjoyable. If I come back to Nepal I’ll go with High camp trekking again!

Our group of 9 Aussies traveled to Nepal to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Norsang was our guide and everything was planned out well and done professionally, we were never lost and knew what to expect for each day of hiking. We had a custom route planned to see the places we wanted to go and received recommendations for additional days of our trip including a jungle tour in Chitawan. Norsang was accommodating in communicating dietary needs and provided valuable cultural insight and experiences. This hike was a one-of-a-kind experience and would recommend going with High Camp Trekking if you plan on hiking Nepal!

Thank you to the guides and porters at High Camp Trekking for making this trip possible!

I have trekked for years in various regions of Nepal, many times with Norsang during the past 20 years. I decided this year to do the same trek that I did in 1994 with friends. But this year, I took my 4 grandchildren, aged 12 to 16, wanting to give them a love for Nepal, the Nepalis, and the fantastic mountain landscapes. I did not even think about doing this without Norsang, who not only became a friend after all these years but who is exceptionally dependable in all types of situations. So was he this year, as expected. Everything was perfectly organized: transportation from Kathmandu to Bharku, hotels and lodges, meals, and of course the walking hours where he was very attentive to the safety and well-being of the group.

I am not sure whether or not I will go trekking again (I would love to, but I am 70 now), but for sure, if I do, I’ll do it again with my friend Norsang. What’s more, his rates are beautiful and there are never any nasty surprises, so I don’t need to discuss prices with him. Don’t look somewhere else: he is the best! Jerome

Mera Peak Trek and Summit 2023

We did a 15-day trek starting in Lukla and then going through Puiya, Panngom, Kothe, Khare, Mera peak summit, and then back to Lukla via Zartwa La high pass. For the first 5 days, we hiked through the Nepali jungle, which was surprisingly the hardest part of the trek. The paths there were very steep, often filled with mud and rocky stones, which made them physically demanding. We also encountered some leaches and a snake, which we did not expect. Otherwise, the trees, flowers, and waterfalls were stunning. The jungle ended in Kothe and from there onwards we trekked up through a valley covered in small bushes and grass with snow-covered peaks on either side. Pretty much the ideal Himalayan scene that one imagines. The glacier on Mera Peak was very compact and easy to walk on.

Norsang, our guide, and our two porters were all very helpful and always in a good mood. Norsang was excellent in organizing the flight to Lukla, accommodation, and food. All our meals were included in the price of the trek and we were never left hungry with Norsang always asking if we wanted a second portion. The acclimatization was well planned with acclimatization hikes at higher altitudes. Hence, we only experienced a mild headache. The only issue we encountered was with hiring glacier equipment in Khare as they only had semi-automatic crampons, that did not fit our boots which could only take touristic crampons with straps. Therefore, we had to hire alpine boots, which unfortunately were unavailable in sizes larger than 45. Hence some of us had to walk in boots that were slightly smaller, which made the descent rather unpleasant. Therefore, if you have a shoe size larger than 45, I recommend bringing your own alpine boots.

It was cold and windy on the summit day, -16°C, but under Norsang’s leadership, the ascent felt comfortable and safe. The sunrise and the views were amazing. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely use Norsang’s service again for more trekking in Nepal.
