My 17-day Everest Base Camp Trek with Higher Path Treks & Expeditions was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment I landed in Kathmandu, everything was perfectly organized. The guides were professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the mountains and local culture. The trekking route was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam at every turn. Acclimatization days were well planned, which made the journey safe and comfortable. Reaching Everest Base Camp was a dream come true. I highly recommend Higher Path Treks & Expeditions for anyone planning this once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Nepal.
It was the best trek in my life. And not because of the mountains, but Karma and his team. He is bloody professional and friendly. Trekking and climbing with him was entertaining, safe and exceptionally good. We visited his mother and other family members, unforgettable dear memories. Somebody i met in Khare told me later in Kathmandu : “you live and ate on the trek like kings”. She was right. Next year i will go back and would like to climb an other peak. With Karma.
What an amazing Mera Peak Trek experience we had with Higher Path and our guides Karma and Pasang. Karma crafted a highly personalized experience for us that included a trip to his remote mountain village of Sibuje and a home cooked meal made by his mother. He truly went the extra mile to make our visit to Nepal memorable. He took care of all the details of the trip for us, leaving us free to enjoy the experience and not worry about the day to day minutiae.
初めての海外トレッキング、初めてのヒマラヤへ、Higher Path Treksの支えのもと行ってきた。時期は12月初旬、彼のエベレストを望むベースキャンプ地、標高5550mにあたるカラパタールの山頂を目指す、約二週間にわたるロングトレッキングだった。 私自身はそれほど経験のある登山者ではなかったが、偉大なヒマラヤの景色の中で全く安全に、楽しく、長い時間を過ごすことができたのは、本当に幸運なことだ。それもこれも何と言っても、ガイドのカルマさん、ミンマさん、2人のポーターさん、また、お世話になったロッジの人々のおかげだ。 高山では、ポジティブでいること、無理をせずゆっくりと歩くこと、水をたくさん飲むことが重要だと、カルマさんが口をすっぱくして教えてくれたが、これを実践できるよういつも気を配ってくれていた。 彼はいつも冗談を言い、時には突然踊りだす楽しい人で、寒さと疲れでネガティブになりかけている時も励ましてくれた。 また、私たちは5人のグループだったので、歩く速さにばらつきがあったが、先頭ガイドと後方ガイドに分かれて、無理のないようにペースを調整しながら、付き添ってくれた。（ゆっくりと歩くのが本当に上手い。疲れないペースを見事につくってくれる。） それから毎日3回、血圧や酸素濃度などをはかって記録をし、必要な水分量などのアドバイスを受けた。それぞれの体調をよく観察してくれていたと思う。 カルマガイドは本当に心強く、おかげで私たちは、余裕を以て景色を楽しむことができた。 また、トレッキングの出発前や終わったあとの、カトマンズでの時間も思い出深いものだった。装備の確認からはじまり、ストゥーパ（寺）へ安全祈願に行ったり、カルマさんの自宅でモモパーティをしたりと楽しい時間を過ごした。（その後の旅の相談にものってもらい、なんだか親切にしてもらってばかりだった。） ちなみに、カルマガイドは日本語が上手く、日本のこともよく知っているので、日本人でヒマラヤトレッキングを考えているひとは、ここで検討してみるべき。
