Whether you're planning a Himalayan expedition or seeking an elite certified guide for a high-altitude project, I'd love to connect.
I offer beginner mountaineering courses covering essential skills: rope techniques, knot tying, glacier travel, crampon use, and basic self-arrest. Classes run 3–7 days and are held in the Khumbu region or Langtang Valley. No prior experience required — just good fitness and motivation. Group sizes are kept small (max 6) for personalised attention. Contact me via WhatsApp to book a slot.
Yes. Advanced courses include: fixed-rope installation, ice climbing on vertical faces, multi-pitch rescue systems, anchor construction, and high-altitude acclimatisation protocols. These are designed for guides-in-training, experienced trekkers aiming for 6,000–8,000m peaks, or professionals seeking IFMGA pathway preparation. Training sites include Ama Dablam base, Island Peak, and the Khumbu Icefall (seasonal).
A recommended pre-Everest training pathway: (1) Mera Peak or Island Peak ascent for altitude acclimatisation, (2) Ama Dablam expedition for technical glacier and ice skills, (3) a dedicated 10-day fitness and oxygen-system training camp in Namche Bazaar. I guide all three stages and tailor the programme to your current fitness level. Training camps can be arranged year-round.
Nepal has routes for every level. For trekking: Everest Base Camp (14 days, iconic), Annapurna Circuit (18–21 days, diverse landscapes), Langtang Valley (7–10 days, great for first-timers), and Upper Mustang (restricted area, unique culture). For climbing: Island Peak (6,189 m, beginner-friendly), Mera Peak (6,476 m), Lobuche East (6,119 m), and Ama Dablam (6,812 m, technical). Best seasons are October–November and March–May.
The two prime seasons are: Pre-monsoon (March–May) — the main Everest and 8,000m season, stable weather windows, longer days; and Post-monsoon (October–November) — crisp clear skies, excellent visibility, ideal for technical peaks and trekking. Winter (Dec–Feb) is possible on lower peaks but very cold. Monsoon (June–Sept) is generally not recommended for high altitude due to unstable conditions.
Pricing depends on the peak, group size, duration, and services included. As a rough guide: beginner climbing courses start from USD 400–800, trekking peak expeditions (Island Peak, Mera) range from USD 1,200–2,500 per person, and major 8,000m expeditions (Everest, Manaslu, etc.) are custom-quoted. All packages include a certified IFMGA guide, permit assistance, safety equipment, and acclimatisation planning. Message me on WhatsApp for a personalised quote.
Yes. All climbing peaks in Nepal require a permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) or the Department of Tourism. Trekking routes also require TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) cards and National Park entry fees. For 8,000m peaks, royalty fees are significant (e.g., Everest permit is USD 11,000 per person). I handle all permit logistics as part of my guided packages — you just need your passport and motivation!
