Mera Peak climbing

It was the best trek in my life. And not because of the mountains, but Karma and his team. He is bloody professional and friendly. Trekking and climbing with him was entertaining, safe and exceptionally good. We visited his mother and other family members, unforgettable dear memories. Somebody i met in Khare told me later in Kathmandu : “you live and ate on the trek like kings”. She was right. Next year i will go back and would like to climb an other peak. With Karma.

Amazing Mera Peak adventure

What an amazing Mera Peak Trek experience we had with Higher Path and our guides Karma and Pasang. Karma crafted a highly personalized experience for us that included a trip to his remote mountain village of Sibuje and a home cooked meal made by his mother. He truly went the extra mile to make our visit to Nepal memorable. He took care of all the details of the trip for us, leaving us free to enjoy the experience and not worry about the day to day minutiae.

My great journey to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar

初めての海外トレッキング、初めてのヒマラヤへ、Higher Path Treksの支えのもと行ってきた。時期は12月初旬、彼のエベレストを望むベースキャンプ地、標高5550mにあたるカラパタールの山頂を目指す、約二週間にわたるロングトレッキングだった。 私自身はそれほど経験のある登山者ではなかったが、偉大なヒマラヤの景色の中で全く安全に、楽しく、長い時間を過ごすことができたのは、本当に幸運なことだ。それもこれも何と言っても、ガイドのカルマさん、ミンマさん、2人のポーターさん、また、お世話になったロッジの人々のおかげだ。 高山では、ポジティブでいること、無理をせずゆっくりと歩くこと、水をたくさん飲むことが重要だと、カルマさんが口をすっぱくして教えてくれたが、これを実践できるよういつも気を配ってくれていた。 彼はいつも冗談を言い、時には突然踊りだす楽しい人で、寒さと疲れでネガティブになりかけている時も励ましてくれた。 また、私たちは5人のグループだったので、歩く速さにばらつきがあったが、先頭ガイドと後方ガイドに分かれて、無理のないようにペースを調整しながら、付き添ってくれた。(ゆっくりと歩くのが本当に上手い。疲れないペースを見事につくってくれる。) それから毎日3回、血圧や酸素濃度などをはかって記録をし、必要な水分量などのアドバイスを受けた。それぞれの体調をよく観察してくれていたと思う。 カルマガイドは本当に心強く、おかげで私たちは、余裕を以て景色を楽しむことができた。 また、トレッキングの出発前や終わったあとの、カトマンズでの時間も思い出深いものだった。装備の確認からはじまり、ストゥーパ(寺)へ安全祈願に行ったり、カルマさんの自宅でモモパーティをしたりと楽しい時間を過ごした。(その後の旅の相談にものってもらい、なんだか親切にしてもらってばかりだった。) ちなみに、カルマガイドは日本語が上手く、日本のこともよく知っているので、日本人でヒマラヤトレッキングを考えているひとは、ここで検討してみるべき。

최고의 가이드 카르마!

12월초 친구들과 함께 EBC&칼라파타르 다녀왔습니다 ! 친구 추천으로 알게된 여행사인데 아주아주 200퍼센트 대만족인트레킹을 하고 돌아왔습니다. 카르마씨와 보조가이드한분이 이번 트레킹을 함께 해주셨는데 등산 초보인 저와 친구들을 위해 카트만두호텔에서부터 트레킹일정 하나부터 열까지 모든걸 신경써서 맞춰주셨어요!! 트레킹중에 뒤쳐져도 뒤에서 계속 같이 가주시면서 천천히 ~천천히 ~ 천천히가야 고산병도 안온다고 조언도 엄청해시구, 매일밤 심박수랑 산소포화도도 체크해주시더라구요 ! 또 엄청 유머러스해서 쉬는시간에도 지루할 틈이 없었어요 ! ㅋㅋㅋ사진두 진짜 잘찍어주시구요. 트레킹중에 찍은 사진을 롯지에서 보면서 산이름 물어보면 친절히 다 설명해서 알려주세요ㅎㅎ 출발하기전에 엄청 걱정했었는데 가이드님들 덕분에 ebc랑 칼라파타르까지 한명의 낙오자도 없이 무사히 다녀왔습니다 ! 트레킹후에는 카트만두에서 모두함께 저녁도 먹었지요ㅎㅎ 올해의 마지막을 아름다운 풍경과 좋은사람들과 함께 마무리할수 있어서 너무 좋았습니다. 다시한번 카르마씨에게 감사인사를 전합니다 .!^^ 그리구 저는 고산병이 없었어서 다음번에는 카르마씨와 메라픽트레킹을 약속하고 왔답니다 ~~ ㅎㅎ 등산초보이시거나 여행사고민하시는분들 여기 강추드려요 ~~~!

First Class Professional Sherpa Owned Trekking and Climbing Company

I have known Karma Sherpa for almost 6 years and have used his company and staff for 5 treks in the Everest region. They are very professional, great attention to detail and very sincere and caring for their client's well being and also for maintaining the environment in the region. Higher Paths benefits local guides and porters as well as benefitting the local lodges and shops in the region. Karma has a separate foundation which aims to improve the life of his home village not far from Lukla. There are also excellent homestays in his village if that is of interest. I can very highly recommend Higher Paths Treks for trekking or climbing and can assure you that you will be very pleased with their service. Namaste

Langtang Trekking with friends

We went on a trekking tour with Karma in the Langtang Valley. On the last day we climbed the Tserko Ri (5000m). Everything went well and Karma is a very good, level-headed guide. I would always want to go with Karma next time too!!! You can rely on him 100%!!!
