A view from Chichi La.
Experienced guide sirdar Bagh Bir Tamang and cook Laku Bir Rai led the group of six Danish citizens to Makalu Base Camp this spring. Makalu is the world’s fifth highest mountain. Peter, Kurt, Henry, Charlotte, Gertrud and Ingrid arrived to Nepal on October 26. The very next day the lineup flew to Tumlingtar. Their itinerary was planned to allocate enough time for the abundant acclimatization to the altitude and to take advantage of maximum time around Makalu Base Camp.

The trail took them from the moist lowlands near Tumlingtar on the Arun River through one of the rarely visited areas of Nepal to Makalu Base Camp. The trek passes along the hugely diverse ecosystem and the culture; lower regions comprise of Rai villages and the higher with Sherpa villages. After, enjoying the rejoicing moments at culturally diversified villages like Chichi La, Tashigaon and Neh Kharka, on November 7 the team was at Makalu Base Camp.

But, before the team made to the Makalu Base Camp the team also witnesses the distant yet gorgeous Barun River Valley, Shipton La 4216m. The trail to the Makalu Base Camp provided the Danish team with extra-ordinary views of Makalu south, Everest, Lhotse, Chamlang and Kanchenjunga. The Danish trekkers took the time to visit Makalu National Park.

I highly recommend Explore Himalaya for anyone seeking an unforgettable trekking experience in the Himalayas. Thank you to all the the staff, for making our journey truly exceptional!
13 Day Manaslu Circuit Trek Nov 2018 We have just returned to Kathmandu after a wonderful trek around the Manaslu circuit, starting in Soti Khola and finishing in Jaget. The trek and transport out and back to Kathmandu were very well organized. Our guide, Bharet Rana was excellent, arranging our tea-house accomodation and meals each day, without hitch. He was always good humoured and provided an interesting commentary on sights along the way.
Our Everest Base Camp trek was a wonderful and memorable one. Everything was very well organised. Thank you Explore Himalaya and the staffs for such an excellent service. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in Ktm till the day we left. The Guides and the Porters team of Explore Himalaya are very friendly and helpful. They took care of every little things during our trek. Some walked faster, some slowly and few could not but No one was left behind. They walk with your pace and motivates you until you get up. Anuj Pandey, MD of Explore Himalaya was available 24 hours a day when anybody was in need, he even flew to Namche to check if everything was going well and if everybody was doing good. The Guides Bibek Pandey, Bhuwan Tamang and Ram Rajbhandari along with their 5 Porters were the main pillars who made our mission accomplished. I'd highly recommend anybody who wants to travel to Nepal to contact Explore Himalaya and get themselves spoilt and entertained with their excellent service.
