Highland Expeditions Reviews 

We completed the EBC Helicopter Trek with Highland, and had an amazing time! From start to finish, they took great care of us. Passang and Dawa made the before and after seamless, checking in with us and making themselves available if we needed anything. Our lead guide Prashant, and the rest of the team kept us happy and safe on the trek! We always knew what to expect for the day and never felt pushed past our limits.The trek was breathtaking, and the lodges and food exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trekking adventure!

Akash was our main guide, with Jeet and Kalandar as the assistant guides along with 6 porters for our group of 10. We felt safe, taken cared of, and well guided. It was not a challenging trek and we got support all the way to the base camp successfully. Passang and Dawa handled operations seamlessly and efficiently. Highly recommend them to anyone venturing trekking in Nepal!

My wife and I recently joined Highland Expeditions for a Everest Basecamp helitrek for our honeymoon. From the start to the end of our contact with Highland Expeditions, we had excellent communication. Every interaction we had with Passang and the team before, during and after our trek showed at its core that Highland Expeditions has trekking as its passion.

The places chosen to stay at were clearly well established, clean, homely, warm and welcoming. The pace of the trek was perfect for ensuring good acclimatisation and whilst pushing us exertion wise, was entirely appropriate for the trek at hand.

Aakash, our guide for our trek, is incomparable, and is one of the core reasons why we felt so valued and looked after during our trek. No question was too stupid, seeing his interactions with other guides along the trek demonstrated how respected he was, and his interactions with the teahouses we stayed at demonstrated how much embedded in the communities along the trek route that he and Highland Expeditions were. By the end of the trek we felt we had become true friends with him and only want to keep in contact with him if we can in the future.

Passang, the managing director, is a kind, efficacious and efficient individual who bent over backwards, and was always trying to make sure our experience was the best it could be. He is creating a company and establishing both himself and his team as a leader in this field. His dedication and hard work shows in the experiences he creates and the respect he is garnering.

Talking to the team throughout the trek, it is clear that Adventure tourism such as the EBC trek is a crowded field. What is clear with Highland, is that they are a crucial part of the scene of raising awareness of how to preserve nepali values at the heart of trekking along this route, how important it is to recognise and include the communities found along the trek route in forming future plans for expanding trekking in Nepal, and how important local porters and guides are.

I cannot speak more highly of the team at every level of the organisation. If we do wish to trek again in Nepal we will be sure to use Highland Expeditions again.

Great staff and attention to detail. Arjun Kumar and Shankar all did a great job with organizing and helping each step of the way. Recommend without any reservations.

Having just finished the Everest Base Camp and Kalapatar Trek, I'm back in Kathmandu, and I must say it was absolutely worthwhile.

The trek itself was incredible, and we were fortunate to have excellent weather despite it being winter. Sabin, our guide was fantastic, and Pasang organized the trek extremely well.
