Best Guide to Hired for the Makalu Base Camp Trek

My husband and I decided to do the Makalu Base Camp Trek, but we only wanted to hire a guide and porter through High Pass Adventure. They provided us with an excellent and experienced trekking guide, along with a strong porter. They also arranged all transportation and permits, while we paid for our own accommodation and food along the trek.
The accommodation and food along the route were basic but clean enough. Our guide, Purna, was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs, and the locals were friendly and welcoming.
The first part of the trek was remote—we saw fewer than 30 tourists—but the views were still spectacular! In the second part of the trek, we reached the more popular Makalu Base Camp, which is a gateway for climbing Mt. Makalu. There were more people, and we met many friendly fellow trekkers along the way.
I would highly recommend the High Pass Adventure to anyone considering Makalu Base Camp Trek and adventurous trip to Nepal!

An Unforgettable Experience Beyond Expectations in the Nar Phu Region

My partner and I decided to explore the Nar Phu region and cross the Thorong La Pass on a 14-day trek from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. We found High Pass Adventure on Google and chose them to arrange a guide, porter, and all the logistics we needed. Purna, the owner of the agency, was extremely informative and answered all our questions, which gave us confidence to book the trip with them.

Mr. Ganesh was our guide, and Tika was our porter. They made our trek truly wonderful and hassle-free. Ganesh used his knowledge of the region to adjust the originally planned route based on our physical ability and the actual trail conditions. Their support made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.

We are already planning to return. It was an unforgettable vacation for us!
Thank you, High Pass Adventure team — especially Purna and Ganesh!

A Perfect Short Everest Base Camp Trek Completed in 10 Days

I cannot thank High Pass Adventure and the entire team enough for the incredible Short Everest Base Camp Trek experience they provided. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The itinerary was tailored to our preferences and well-paced, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes while also giving us adequate time to acclimatize.

Purna shared attractive stories and introduced us to the local way of life, enriching the overall experience. The highlight of the trek was reaching Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar—an achievement I will appreciate forever. High Pass Adventure exceeded my expectations, and I heartily recommend them to anyone seeking a truly memorable Himalayan adventure in Nepal.

A Perfect Everest Base Camp Trek with a Scenic Helicopter Return to Lukla

We were a group of 9 people who completed a 7-day trek to Everest Base Camp, followed by a scenic helicopter return to Lukla on Day 8. This unforgettable trip was organized by High Pass Adventure, and it was truly an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was perfectly arranged, and the team—Ganesh, Sundar, and Gyan—provided excellent support throughout the trek.

Their deep knowledge of the trail and ability to adapt to the group’s pace made the journey enjoyable for everyone. The trek was exhilarating, with breathtaking views at every turn. Memorable places like Namche Bazaar, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Everest Base Camp left a lasting impression—made even better by the perfect weather during our trip from June 7 to 14, 2025.

The helicopter ride back to Lukla offered a stunning aerial perspective of the Khumbu region like nothing else. Our return flight to Kathmandu was also smooth, giving me time to reflect on the incredible journey.

Big thanks to High Pass Adventure and the entire team for their flawless coordination. Their professionalism and passion made this adventure one I’ll remember for a lifetime. Highly recommended to all!

Best Annapurna Trek - Ghorepani Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek

I have done the ABC, EBC, and Annapurna Circuit Trek multiple times with Purna. He took me on different routes, including the Ghorepani Poon Hill with Mardi Himal Trek, which was truly wonderful—I did it twice! Purna, the owner of High Pass Adventure, created the perfect itinerary for me, tailored to my needs. He guided me throughout the trek, making sure we were well, enjoying ourselves, and learning about the countryside and local culture. The food was absolutely delicious at every teahouse we stayed in, and the accommodations were very satisfying. We reached our destinations, and despite the weather, Purna timed everything perfectly so we could capture some of the most breathtaking views at Mardi Himal Base Camp and Poon Hill. I cannot recommend Purna and his company highly enough. Thank you for a life-changing adventure!

Amphu Laptsa Pass Trek

Beyond Limits: Conquering Amphu Laptsa Pass

I completed a 15-day trek from Lukla to Amphu Laptsa Pass via Mera La, ending back in Lukla. I found the Amphu Laptsa Pass to be one of the most challenging passes in the Himalayan region of Nepal—but it was an absolutely amazing experience. There were two of us in the group, accompanied by one guide and four porters throughout the trek. We stayed in teahouses for most of the nights and camped in tents for three nights during the trip.

The weather was extremely cold, with daily temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celsius from above Khare Camp all the way to Chhukung. There was no electricity available in the remote areas, so I used a solar charger to power my watch, mobile and camera. Thank you to the High Pass Adventure team for making this a memorable journey. Special thanks to our main guide, Rohit, and to Purna, the owner and organizer of the trip. Highly recommended to others!
 

Guide to Hire Upper Mustang Trek

Ganesh Karki Best Tour and Trek Guide Ever

I have just completed a 15-day tour and trek in the Upper Mustang Valley with Ganesh, the founder of High Pass Adventure. The service provided by Ganesh was truly first class — he is the best tour and trekking guide I have ever had, and I’ve traveled extensively over the past ten years.

Ganesh is one of the most caring individuals you could hope to meet, especially when you're far from your comfort zone. The Upper Mustang is a very remote region, and as a first-time trekker, I felt completely safe under his guidance. The scenery was breathtaking, the mountains were steep, and the nights were cold — but Ganesh was always there with a warm smile at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Thank you, Ganesh, for an unforgettable life experience. I will definitely reach out to you again and wholeheartedly recommend you to my friends the next time I visit Nepal.

We participated in the Everest Marathon, and Ganesh organized everything perfectly. He handled the collection of race bibs and kits and planned the entire itinerary around this event.

Incredible Memories from the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

We did the ABC Trek with Guide Purna, the founder of High Pass Adventure, and he delivered on every promise from start to finish. He pleasantly surprised us by being the only one to offer a quote for hiring just a guide, which was exactly what we initially wanted. He was sincere, attentive, and scrupulous, looking after us every step of the way while also allowing us to enjoy moments of solitude—as if we were trekking alone through the beautiful Nepali valleys. We also shared many enjoyable and friendly moments together; at times, it felt like we were traveling with a close friend. I highly recommend him!

Langtang Valley Trek: A Remarkable and Rewarding Adventure

High Pass Adventure offers great flexibility in tailoring your Himalayan trekking experience in Nepal. The team behind this company is very open and accommodating, arranging the best options based on individual needs. This was perfect for us, as we normally travel as a duo and don’t usually hire guides.

We had the pleasure of sharing the Langtang Valley Trek with one of the company’s founders, who guided us all the way from Kathmandu to the summit of Kyangjin Ri, nearly 5,000 meters high. Early April turned out to be an excellent time for the trek—less crowded and with beautiful weather.

Ganesh, our guide, was a wonderful companion. More than just a guide, he shared stories and experiences with us, making the journey feel much more personal. He was always watchful and supportive while giving us the freedom to enjoy quiet moments on our own—striking the perfect balance between guidance and space. I highly recommend High Pass Adventure for the outstanding experience I had with their team. Their logistics and organization were flawless. Thank you!

Incredible Memories from the Langtang Valley Trek

I did the Langtang Valley Trek with my friends, and it was a great experience with our guide, Ganesh. The company pleasantly surprised us because it was the only one that offered us a quote for hiring just a guide, as we initially only wanted that. All the other agencies we contacted tried to sell us a full package.

In the end, we decided to go with the full package anyway—and it turned out to be the cheapest yet most complete option. This may have been due to the choice of more basic accommodations, but it brought us much closer to the authentic Nepali way of life. The company paid excellent attention to our trip and showed great flexibility with our changing plans. We were always given the freedom to choose the route, destinations, and stops.

Ganesh, our guide, was always supportive but also knew when to give us space, allowing us to enjoy moments of solitude as if we were trekking alone in the beautiful Nepali valleys. He had an incredible sense for understanding the different moods of our journey. We also shared some enjoyable, friendly moments together—at times it felt like we were traveling with a close friend.
Highly recommended!

Kailash Mansarovar - A Divine Journey

We, a family of four along with some friends, chose High Pass Adventure for our Kailash Mansarovar Trip. We began discussions with Mr. Purna Karki at the start of the year, and he was always prompt and helpful, answering all our queries very quickly. The accommodation provided in Kathmandu was comfortable, and the transportation to Rasuwagadhi and back was perfect—even though the road conditions were poor.

Once we crossed into Tibet after Rasuwagadhi, the team led by Mr. Ganesh, cook Ramesh, and Chinese guide Tashi took complete care of us, providing delicious food and personalized attention at every step of the journey. Without the guidance and support of this hardworking team, it would have been difficult for us to complete the challenging 3-day parikrama and the entire journey.

Overall, it was a very well-organized trip by High Pass Adventure. Highly recommended to all!

Amazing Kanchenjunga North-South Base Camp Trek

We had an absolutely fantastic trek to Kanchenjunga and can’t recommend High Pass Adventure enough—especially our incredible guide, Bibek, and porter, Ganga! From the very beginning, Purna was warm, friendly, and extremely helpful in organizing everything. His communication and support made the planning process incredibly smooth. Once on the trail, our guide Bibek went above and beyond. He was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely fun to be around—always ready with a helping hand and a friendly chat.

We have twice contracted the services of High Pass Adventure. There was amazing trekking moments in 2023 for Everest Base Camp via Gokyo (with guide Ganesh and porter Shiva) and in 2024 for Everest Three High Passes (with guide Gyan and porter Shiva, our mountain hero).

The teams at the High Pass Adventure, in Kathmandu with Ganesh and Purna and during the trekking were very attentive, careful and respectful with us from beginning to end, presenting us with familiar environments with good accommodation and meal options, as well as program optimizations in case of need. Excellent service that I highly recommend! We would hire again at another opportunity.

Highly recommended!

Dhaulagiri Circuit

I went on the Dhaulagiri Circuit trek with my guide Ganesh and porter Purna. Ganesh is very passionate about trekking and highly knowledgeable. Purna is diligent and never complained despite carrying heavy loads every day. Importantly, both of them remained optimistic even in adversity, and always offered their assistance in times of need.

High Pass Adventure was flexible enough to alter the itinerary based on how I was feeling day to day, and price their services extremely reasonably. I am very satisfied with my trip and can recommend them highly.

Langtang Valley Trek 10 Days

My daughter and I did the Langtang Valley trek together with HPA's guide/porter Gyan Mager in February. We are very pleased with the guidance and empathy of the management and guides of this organization. We had a great experience and after several treks with different parties in the past, they stood head and shoulders above the rest through commitment and professionalism without organizing everything to pieces. So plenty of room for customization and therefore your own input.
Price-quality ratio is great.

Excellent company, don't hesitate.

Very professional company who provide all needed info and guidance. No surprises. Booked after a quick whatsapp call with the actually guide we were assigned (Gyan). Prices are very competitive and their website has a lot of info. Meet 2 of the 3 managers personally and had a chat with the 3rd one who was trekking himself elsewhere, but still had time to give hints.

Weather was a bit dodgy but our guide helped take the right decision to be able to complete the Manaslu Circuit and Larke Pass. Gyan acted as porter cum guide but stood out as sometimes a better guide than the "real guides" I meet assigned to other travelers from various countries. Excellent English and friendly, willing to share about his life and Nepalese habits and customs. 

Great trip, good advice from before trip and all the way to the finish line....
Would gladly book with them again if ever in Nepal.

Big Purna of Annapurna a truly great guide

Had a 10 day trek with Purna doing the Annapurna track and I honestly couldn't rage a better trip. The views were astounding and the trek amazing! Purna and Bibek were two of the nicest guides I've ever met and both were very accommodating. This was my first ever multiday trek and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to try (though make sure to be physically fit otherwise the trek is still doable, but challenging)

Manaslu and Annapurna Circuits with hot springs and Poonhill

I have just finished 3 weeks trekking the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit with my guide Purna. From start to finish he attended to my every need - meeting me at the airport, helping with trek kit preparation, organizing transport, meals, accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara etc. He had excellent knowledge of each mountain area, as well as being a dab hand at cards of an evening! His brother Gita was a trusty porter and the two made a strong team.

November was the perfect time for trekking with clear blue skies everyday, though cold temperatures at night. Purna knew all the best teahouses. The accommodation and food were excellent every time considering the remote environment.

Being one to one with the guide meant I could tailor the trip to suit my needs and the itinerary was very flexible. Visiting the hot springs at Tatopani was a real treat after crossing Thorung La. The final stop at Poon Hill was very busy, but it's easy to see why when the views are so incredible.

Thanks High Pass Adventure for an amazing trip! Would recommend this company to other adventurers. Fantastic value for money and lovely people to share the experience with.

Trekking to the Dudh Kunda sacred lake via Pikey Peak with guide Ganesh was a wonderful trekking experience. We had chosen High Pass Adventure Trekking Agency to do this trek.  The trekking organization was perfect in all senses from beginner to end due to our guide Ganesh professionalism and experience. 

The trekking days of 7th and 8th were the best of amazing views and excellent food, crossing beautiful rhododendron and pine until the holy lake, where we had a well-deserved day of rest for the team and an adventurous exploration day for us, the journey was filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and cultural encounters

We strongly recommend High Pass Adventure as your next travel companion.

Purna is the Best Guide Ever !!!

Purna was our guide during our 14 day trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar in Oct 2015. He is one of the best guides you can have for this adventure. He was knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and just fun! He was extremely helpful when my brother got sick along the way and knew exactly what to do to make sure he was ok. He was extremely patient with my mom, staying with her as she walked slower than the main group, providing a hand, shoulder, and smile when she needed it. In the end we all made it to base camp, Kalapathar and had a wonderful time doing it. Purna's expertise and sense of humor played a big role in making this the best experience of my life. You are truly in good hands with him. Now he owns High Pass Adventure Trekking Company.  I do not hesitate to recommend him and his trekking company. Thanks
