Hello Everyone,
I just completed an expedition to Meera Peak 6470m with higher path Treks lead by Karma Sherpa. I can’t recommend enough Karma Sherpa for the experience I had. He is a climbing and trekking guide. This was my second 6000 m + expedition after Aconcagua. Karma Sherpa definitely has really good leadership, guiding and explaining about the dangers during the expedition, good sense of getting out of bad weather situation( had bad weather on the Sumit day and after completing summit on the way back to Khare), he made my summit look so simple and easy despite of really bad weather.
Karma Sherpa has climbed 5 times 8000 m mountains inc Everest and many many times to Meera and other 6&7000 m, so I knew I was going with the best. I got his number from one of the sub groups on face book and tried to contact him for Meera peak. Meera peak is not too much but a little technical, so he trained and refreshed my knowledge on the rest day. He was flexible with my itenary as I changed it due to less days in hand. He asked me for my experience and the fitness level before changing the itenary. I did this expedition in 11 days where the itenary usually is for 14 days because of the acclimatisation. I didn’t have any acclimatisation issues nor I took Diamox. He checked my oxygen saturation at Khare 5000m before the start to high camp. I actually got a really good guest house in KTM and really nice family run lodges where they treated me like their own. I had the best food where my nutrition was not compromised.
My flight was delayed in KTM where I had already checked out if the hotel. Karma Sherpa invited me to his house, where his beautiful wife fed me amazing dal Bhat for me. He introduced me to his kids and whole family, he organised a hike for me to Tarebir which is a training ground for athletes in KTM. It was a beautiful hike and I would consider lucky for my flight to get delayed for the experience I had.
My Porter Pasang was 20 years old kid who was selected by Karma Sherpa and that was his second Porter job and straight to high camp. I was really impressed with that kid. He was confident, faster than me, knew the technicalities of the trek, very comfortable with double boots and crampons, mountain climbing etc. He was carrying my gear and also Sherpa’s weight all together about 30kg’s for all the days. He was trained by Karma Sherpa.
I’m really looking forward to another expedition soon with karma Sherpa.

I can highly recommend Karma and his team. Planned the three pass trek long time. Due to covid situation, it had to be postponed for three years. During that time, Karma was allways around and answered all questions fast. He managed everthing totally professional. He became a real fried over the time. On the trip, we allways felt safe and well provided. All Loges were pre booked. So, we were able to enjoy the full trip without any problems. Even when there were problems due to bad weather conditions to fly out from Lukla back to Kathmandu, to catch Flight to Europe, Karma mananged everything fast and without extra costs and we catched a helicopter. Thanks again my friend Karma for that adventure. So if you want i professional agency with sense for the nature and with the spirit of friendship, i can only recommend karma and his team. Guys, you did a fantastic "job" and became friends. See you again for Lobuche peak and Mera peak....

I had a wonderful experience trekking to Everest base camp with our guides Karma and Mingma! They took the best care of our group from the time we landed in Kathmandu, throughout the trek and made sure we made it to the airport for our flights back home. I never felt unsafe, even when some members of our group (including myself) struggled Karma stayed with us and got us through it safely. They took great care of our belongings and chose wonderful lodges for us to stay in. And they were so much fun!! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and they made it incredible! I cannot recommend them enough!

Karma Sherpa is the owner. He was raised in a small village in the Everest region. I use Higher Path every time I come to Nepal for trekking. He always provides me with excellent service and fantastic guides/porters for my trek. Most recently, i did the trek to Gokyo and had Sonam Sherpa as my guide. he was beyond excellent..very caring and a wonderful disposition and very focused on safely. I have used Karma now for probably 5 or 6 treks and always the guides and porters have been great. In addition, Karma plans the entire trip including time in KTM etc so you don't have to do anything except show up and then enjoy the amazing scenery. Karma is a certified mountain guide and climbing expert so he leads many mountain ascents. I HIGHLY recommend Karma and his company Higher Path.

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.

We did Three Passes Trek + EBC in November/December 2022 with guide Ang Rita Sherpa. He was very skilled, kind and funny and helped us with anything we needed. He made sure we felt safe and supported along the way.
Our porter Pasang was also very kind, polite and professional! Both of them adapted to our pace and were flexible anytime we asked for some change of plans.
Concerning the organization of this tour, we’ve been in contact since the beginning with the owner of the company, Karma Sherpa, who has always provided us with all the information and help.
We recommend Higher Path Treks & Expedition 100%, if you want an unforgettable experience!
Karma, Ang Rita, Pasang... We hope we can meet you all guys in the future again! 🙂

Karma was the ultimate guide, with superb organization and preparation as well as steady, successful leadership for our group of 9 family and friends to summit Tserko Ri (5000m) in the Langtang Valley. He is a wise, knowledgeable, formidable mountaineer who is also witty and fun! His assistant Tsering is also extremely helpful and kind. The entire experience could not have been better. Highly highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Love, love, love Karma and Higher Path Treks. Arriving in Nepal, I had no idea what I was going to do, but Karma came with glowing recommendations. I told him I had a month to trek, and he recommended I do the Three Passes Trek + climb Island Peak in the Khumbu region. Long story short, it was a magical experience, and my guides Pema and Sonam Tsering are now my good friends.
Later on, I participated in a Himalayan Alpine Climbing Course run in part by Karma. The course was a month long, and at the end we climbed Mera Peak. It was an experienced that pushed me mentally and physically, and it was amazing to be on that mountain with Karma and the others.
Go with Higher Path Treks, you will not be disappointed!

Higher Path Treks took excellent care of us from the moment we landed in Kathmandu and were expert guides on our trek to EBC, In Kathmandu they provided us transportation and took us to spots around Kathmandu both popular sites as well as hidden local shops and restaurants, things we absolutely never gotten to experience without them. We quickly became friends and loved eating and spending time with Karma and our guides. When our flight to Lukla was cancelled, Karma saved the day and got us helicopter flights so that remained on schedule. On the trek, they knew half the locals on the trail and in the villages. They knew all the lodge owners and some shop owners, it made our trip feel much more immersed in the local culture. At the lodges they took excellent care of us, making sure we were satisfied with the accommodations and taking care of our meals. When we arrived at Tengboche monastery, the monks said it was closed that day, but Karma talked to someone and then we got to go in. We were always talking about how Karma could work his magic and make things work for us. It was so sad to leave Karma and our guides. This was the best trip I’ve ever taken and Higher Path Treks made it so much more special than I ever hoped. Thank you Karma and Mingma and all our porters!

It was awesome trekking for EBC and Kalapathar.
The big nature of Himalaya fascinated me. I enjoyed not only trekking, but culture of Nepal. There are many small villages in Himalaya and beautiful life there. The people in Himalaya took care of us warmly. That is good memories too.
It was tough trekking but we had very good guides, Karma ji and Mingma ji, so we could trek safely. You can count on them. They are professional and can manage everything very well. I really appreciate them. Thank you for awesome time.
