Climbing was great and Sonam was an amazing guide! Both Eveline and myself had a wonderful time and wish we could have kept climbing!

Thanks for making our trips to Nepal even more unforgettable!!

I can't say enough about Top Himalaya Guides (THG)! Extremely knowledgeable and experienced guides with a genuine passion for the mountains. Our lead guide Sonam did a great job of managing expectations and ensuring that we stayed healthy and happy throughout the expedition. We were fortunate to summit all of our objectives including Ama Dablam, which was an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend THG for any Himalayan experience and will definitely be using them again when I return to Nepal!!

I would definitely recommend booking with Tsheringโ€™s company, Top Himalaya Guides!

He is very welcoming and due to his extensive experience with the mountains, he can help you with all the arrangements and any questions or other service requests you have. Due to his recommendation, we were able to change my itinerary to something that I wouldnโ€™t have wanted to miss out on!

He also provided excellent staff, my guide Namja was very experienced and qualified, which made me feel super safe in the mountains at all times.

I can only look back on an incredible trip! Already looking forward to the next!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of trips does Top Himalaya Guides offer?

We specialize in high altitude mountain climbing. We also provide trekking and tours. Our services include customized itineraries, internationally experienced mountain guides, and climbing training. Our trips cater to all levels of experience, from beginners to seasoned adventurers.

For most introductory treks, no prior experience is necessary. You just need a good level of fitness and a willingness to be in the mountains. For more challenging peaks and mountain climbing, we also provide the training with the use of ropes and snow, ice and rock climbing techniques. For the serious 8,000m+ mountaineering expeditions, you require good climbing techniques and prior experience. We take your full mountaineering profile into account to determine if you are ready to try these. The difficulty levels are mentioned with each trip.

The best trekking seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is stable, and the views are spectacular. While winter and monsoon treks are also possible, they require more preparation and flexibility. Most high altitude climbing over 8,000m are open for spring and autumn only.

Yes, permits and Nepali guides are required for all trekking regions and all climbing expeditions. We handle all necessary permits, including trekking, conservation area, and climbing permits.
