Great team, trustworthy and safe, the ingredients we need for a great adventure. When originally planning my trip, I had concerns about trust and safety. I first found about Himalaya Summit Club and owner Tulsi Gurung on Netflix’s documentary “Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake”. This gave me a good level of confidence. Then I reached out and immediately got his reply with a suggested itinerary and options. During the trip, it was flawless. Our guide Bhabi was very fluent in English, knowledgeable of the trek (I think we were his 19th journey) and always aware of our readiness and reactions to the altitude. During the second day of our way back I got food poisoning and because of vomiting I could not take and keep medicines. So I requested to be evacuated to Kathmandu, and they reacted quickly and by lunch time I was in Kathmandu. In summary, on the way up they delivered a great experience and on the way back they delivered the safety and care I needed. I could not ask for more! I would also say that pricing was very reasonable and they offer several options for different budgets and adventure goals! Definitely recommend HSC, Tulsi and Bhabi for your trip to Nepal!!

It was some of our first times doing a multi-day hike with a basic level of fitness, attempting EBC. Our guide Rakesh Gurung took really good care of us despite our fitness and bodily inadequacies. He was really knowledgeable about the mountains and shared with us a lot about the cultures of the places we've been to. We constantly threw pop quizzes at him on what mountains are we looking at, how long will the journey be and he was always so accurate with the estimations and that gave us a really strong sense of security. Along the way, he was quick to spot wildlife, took initiatives to explain the traditional activities of the area and was really eager to put our needs first by giving us well thought-out advice. I believe our trek couldn't have been more successful and pleasant. Also, our team of porters were such a dear to be around, always greeting us and smiling at us. Our porters, Ramji and Suman are extremely experienced and always looked out for us despite our language barriers. Prior to the trip, I had my fair share of doubts as I have heard of horror stories about guides being unethical with their practices and prioritizing money over their clients but it was not the case with Rakesh's team. Also biggest thanks to Tulsi for helping arrange this wonderful experience and making us feel so welcomed. We were so blessed and would definitely come back to experience Nepal! :)

Himalayan Summit club mountaineering club Mountaineering Course was excellently ran from start for finish. Its course is ideal for any mountaineer/climber who wishes to progress their mountaineering skills in preparation for taking on Himalayan peaks.
Mr Tulsi Gurung IMGFA (current President of Nepal National Mountain Guide Assocation ) provided superb and clear communication ahead of travelling to Nepal. Tulsi provided excellent, planning and organisation for the training course. Tulsi explained ahead of the course the correct requirements and kit and equipment. Tulsi would promptly reply to emails answering any further questions . Tulsi in organising the correct equipment, cook, porters, mule trains , food, medical supplies is testament to his experience and knowledge in planning such training courses.
The instructor and lead guide Mr Anup Gurung, provided a high standard of instruction and guidance throughout the training course. Anup a experienced and qualified IMGFA ,was able to impart the important techniques and best practices in the Himalayas. Anup level of instruction was very good, knowing when was a good time to impart knowledge on a student and when a student needed a break (due to fatigue/altitude). Anup was able to guage his group and provide excellent training and coaching in order to best progress the students climbing ability, in a very adventurous while also extremely dangerous environment. A highly competent and capable guide. While the main goal is the teach skills, the summit of Tsorku Peak 5780m was a great bonus to the course. Anup throughout kept students briefed on the days plan and future plans , able to make correct decisions. A very physically fit , competent and capable mountain guide.
Uttam Gurung as assistant guide on the Mountaineering Course, was excellent help in providing coaching and checking on the progress of the students. Uttam an extremely fit and engertic man, who loves the mountains and passion for adventure. Uttam passed on his mountain experiences and best practices. A very friendly man, Uttam was able to competently and efficiently demonstrate correct mountaineering skills. Uttam was able to check and monitor students progress. Uttam provided great logistical support and could forecast what requirements were needed in helping the guide. Uttam was always positive and supportive and encouraged students to progress . A very enthusiastic and capable guide

Our guide Anup and Junior guide Uttam were both great teachers and very professional. We received a great amount of training that prepared us well for the summit push as well as for future climbs, the food was great and the logistics were all perfect. The group was very well looked after.

Did the beginners mountaineering course with Himalaya Summit Club. An amazing way to experience the Nepal climbing scene and some of Nepal’s most amazing treks and sights. Tulsi and the other guides are professional, helpful and very fun! Not just during the course, but they also helped me with recommendations and planning my trip in Nepal afterwards.
Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a more adventurous time in Nepal.

I recently summited Baden-Powell Scout peak in the Langtang region as part of the 20-day Himalayan Mountaineering level I course with Tulsi and a large team of guides and helpers. It was an unreal experience. The course confronted us with the realities of life at high-altitude. We were pushed to our limits, and empowered by our guides to overcome doubts in ourselves, however Tulsi still placed safety as the utmost priority. When members of my team felt ill he took it very seriously and made responsible decisions with their well-being as the deciding factor. Our guides were always a calm, supportive presence, and the most interesting people to chat with while trekking and discover how life in Nepal is like! They also attended to our every need, showed us genuine care, and always had hot tea ready for us! I felt lucky to be learning from Tulsi who had so much expertise and experience in the mountains. I came away from the course with a wealth of knowledge about rope systems, building anchors, traversing glaciers safely, crevasse rescue. By the end of the course, the team of guides and helpers really felt like family. Tulsi organized everything for us up to our airport transit and our stay in Kathmandu and treated us like family too. I can’t wait to come back to Nepal sometime soon.

I was so lucky to meet such guides and teams when I went to Nepal for mountaineering for the first time. They are professional, patient, friendly, and caring about your health and feelings. Without them, I would not have been able to complete this trip and have such a wonderful experience. Thanks Tulsi for encouraging me when I wanted to give up, and telling me that I could reach the summit as long as I believed in myself; thank you Uttam for always accompanying me when I was tired and weak, and leading me patiently in front of me; thank you Bhajuram for dancing freely and passionately in the tent at an altitude of 5,000 meters. You are the best dancer in the world; thank you Kiran for the down jacket that brought me warmth when I suffered from cold in the snow. I hope to see you again on the next mountaineering trip.

第一次去尼泊尔登山遇到这样的向导和团队是幸运的，他们专业、耐心、友好、关心你的健康和感受，没有他们，我不可能走完这一段旅行，也不能拥有这么美好的体验。谢谢Tulsi在我最想放弃的时候鼓励我，跟我说只要相信自己可以就可以登顶；感谢Uttam总在我疲惫、脆弱的时候陪着我，在我前面慢慢带着我走；感谢Bhajuram在五千米海拔的帐篷里潇洒热情的舞蹈，他是这个世界上最棒的舞者；感谢Kiran的羽绒服，在我最冷的时候给予我温暖。希望下一次的登山旅行依然能见到你们。

I traveled to Nepal with Tulsi and his team for 3 weeks. It was a technical course in which we learned a lot! Tulsi is very experienced (was on Mount Everest, among other things, and teaches young local guides). All in all, I can only recommend Himalaya Summit Club!!
