Scale New Heights

I used to trek and climb a lot before, however, for the last few years, I have been a couch potato. Group trek would not be good for me, so I reached out to master himalaya for a custom Everest Three Passes Trek along with ascent of Isalnd Peak.

At first I was worried that they are a fake organisation or low service company because of how cheap their prices are. However, there is nothing to be afraid of. Their service is at par with or even better than most other tour companies in the same budget packages.

Their PR team is also fantastic, special thanks to Palden Bhai. Their guide was very polite and good and led me through the mountains safely. The food and accomodation was also very very good.

Whole heartedly recommended for everyone, specially if your budget is small. Will always go with them from now on.

The hike was amazing, what made it more enjoyable were the guides. KB and Raj were excellent. The kids that were portering for us also the best. Nothing but smiles for miles when we would see them on the trail (as they passed us).

The guest houses/ tea houses far surpassed my expectations as far as a place to lay your head a night. It was still freezing, but I managed to sleep most nights.

The food at all the places was quite good, when I had the appetite. Warning: yak poop burning causes a lot of smoke and makes it nearly impossible to breath esp after the altitude hits! Having had problems with my lungs the last couple days of the trip. Mind is willing body not completely able. The group left for base camp and I was left to my own devices, I took my time and did Kala Patthar, I was able to see Mt Everest... which you are not able to do from base camp. I did miss out on the spray painted rock with my crew, but had an amazing adventure on my own!

I have never been in a helicopter... so this was the complete highlight of the entire trip to me! The pilot was smooth...he gave us a loop around base camp from the air and pointed out so many things you cannot see from the ground. Best trekking experience to date... one thing... make sure your guide has a pulse oximeter!!

I highly recommend this tour agency. They arranged most of our trip to the Everest base camp. The flight tickets, the entrances fee and an amazing guide/porter (jeevan was a really good guide, he knew everything, was always taking good care of us, taking us to really good lodges).
They were always aware of where we were and helping us with everything. Always really flexible and open to our needs. They borrow us a big bag to take our things to the trekking and crampons. Also we bought with him bus ticket to pokhara for a good price.
Thank you for the amazing experience that we had in Nepal and for the t shirt that will be a good memory to carry back home !!!!

Really enjoyable, tough but rewarding trek to the Annapurna base camp. Some amazing places to stay and some simply glorious views.
Tips for the traveller:
- bring a beanie
- filling your water bottle late with hot water makes for a v warm sleeping bag
- take more money than you think you need (the beer gets more expensive the higher you go...)
- the fleeces that ‘disappear’ into small bags are worth every penny.
- bring shorts - walking in the sun is hot
- to train - lots of those steps up onto benches - ideally carrying weights - will prepare you for all those steps ...

But it’s a great trip and highly recommended- many thanks to Ram, our guide and the indefatigable porters....

I would have to say that the highlight of my trip was the trek to Annapurna Base Camp. It’s was a perfect mix of challenge, beauty and culture. There is so much to do and see in Nepal but I would make sure to make this one a priority! I can’t thank Ram enough for the kindness, knowledge and experience he shared with us. I will be sure to look you up again when I return!!

Wonderful experience trekking with master Himalaya! From the initial emails to our final congratulations dinner the communication with the company was great throughout. Our guide Tenji took good care of us and made us feel very safe. We enjoyed the variety of scenery, the villages, the food and conversing with villagers and other trekkers along the way. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
