Clients Testimonials
Raj, I have been away, and unable to get to the computer for the past few days. I would be happy to offer a testimonial to Climb High Himalaya, if it is not too late.
10 of us from Alaska took a trip to the Everest Base camp, Gokyo valley, and Chukking easily met and surpassed our expectations. The experience was magnificent and got us to know the the people of Nepal quite well. Our guide, sherpas, and porters were friendly, exceptionally capable, and fun to be with. It was very good of your company to allow us to modify our route to meet all our needs. We especially thought that Ang, the guide, was exceptinal. Three cheers for Climb High.
Raj, I could say much more, but if I make it too long, no one will read it. Let me know if you want more. Thanks again, and I hope to meet you myself some day.

My sister and I have hired Raj to lead us up Mera Peak in 2007. We didn’t know him then and so it was with some apprehension that we arrived in Kathmandu. Right from the meeting at the airport to the slopes of Mera Peak, we were well taken care of. We couldn’t be more satisfied with Raj and his staff. So when we decided to trek up Mt. Everest in Tibet in September 2010, there was no doubt about, who should arrange the trip for us. Raj has reliable connection in Lhasa and here again, we were well taken care of. Many companies provide good service, but it is when things beyond anybody’s control go wrong that an excellent service is invaluable. When the rock slides made the road from Kodari to Kathmandu impassible ten miles out of Kodari and Raj’s Kathmandu guide couldn’t reach us at the Chinese border, Raj’s office arranged for a local agent to meet us at the border and drive us as far as he could to the first rock slide, where porters carried our baggage to the next open section and repeated the process two more times using a van and a truck, until we reached the open road. Raj’s guide was the first one we saw as we got off that jam-packed truck with other travelers. Our waiting car from Kathmandu was the first one to leave the chaotic scene. If our future plans lead us to Nepal, the decision whom to use as a guide will be very easy.

"Much gratitude, appreciation and rave reviews for Rajen Thapa and his entire Climb High team. As a novice climber heading to Nepal on her own to join other strangers for a first climb up a 6000
mt. peak (Lobuche East), I really had no idea what to expect. Although I had booked the trip through an American company (Summitclimb), Climb High operated the trip in Nepal. Our trip wasn't without some unavoidable logistical challenges; from many delays in
the arrival of various members to Kathmandu, four days of delay for our flight to Lukla and some health challenges for some members, we really tested the limits of "going with the flow". These things happen
- especially in Nepal, but Raj and his team handled it all like true
professionals and it's during these challenges that you find out just how good a company is and I really appreciated the benefit of having such a diligent team that knows the locals and how to deal with local challenges. As for the climbing, we couldn't have been in better hands. They made the training fun and made sure we were all comfortable and confident before heading up the mountain. Raj was right behind me every step of the way and I owe my summit success to his one-on-one guidance and support. And let's not forget the Climb High cooks and porters - these are hardworking and impressive people who love to share a smile, a laugh or a song, all while making sure you are comfortable and happy. Altogether they are a great team and I would highly recommend them to anyone, novice or expert, looking to organize or participate in a climb or trek in Nepal."
