Discover Altitude Treks Reviews

Amazing EBC trek
I did a private EBC trek visiting Kala Patthar and Ama Dablam base camp with Discover Altitude in November 2024. The trip was fantastic and my guide Teju was amazing! Kumar and Santosh (owner of the agency and his colleague) are super friendly, they greet you at the airport and drop you off when you’re leaving, you get a detailed trip briefing before you leave. My guide Teju was very helpful and knowledgeable, he does the best practices about acclimating to altitude and keeping his clients healthy with constant reminders about proper clothing and using your buff to avoid the dust. We got back to Kathmandu without the infamous Khumbu cough! Booking the private trek was a great option for me as I could customize my itinerary any way I wanted and go at the pace that worked for me.I very highly recommend Discover Altitude, they’re an amazing team, reliable and knowledgeable partners in Nepal!

Amazing EBC and Kalapatthar Trek Experience with Discover Altitude
I recently completed the Everest Base Trek with Kalapatthar, guided by Discover Altitude, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. As a solo traveler, I felt well-supported and safe throughout the entire journey. Santosh, my guide, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the team’s professionalism made it even more memorable. Highly recommend Discover Altitude for anyone looking to trek in Nepal

Lit 🔥🔥🔥
My journey with Discover altitude trek to EBC with three high passes was Lit. The guide Dinesh Mager was very knowledgeable and caring. I'd highly recommend Discover Altitude Trek for more and more adventurous journey.

TRIP TO POON HILL NEPAL
Well organized. The organizer is very flexible and always open to our request to reschedule our flights, travelling arrangement. Choices of hotel and food are good. Pickup from and to the airport are provided.

Teju and Chandra looked after me incredibly well
I booked a four-day trek with Discover Altitude but due to altitude sickness could only complete three days of it. The trip went ahead despite my being the only participant, which I really appreciated. Teju was an amazingly friendly and helpful guide and even carried my daypack for me as I was feeling faint. He also kindly rearranged the trip so I could cut it short and return to Pokhara early. Chandra was also a very helpful and friendly porter. Be warned that the hotel in Ghandruk is freezing so bring your own superwarm sleeping bag and hot water bottle like I did (nice and cosy wood fire in the lounge however!) Really appreciated the company being so flexible and helpful when I didn't feel well enough to do the four days - everyone is affected by altitude differently and I was sadly someone who couldn't handle it.

The best vacation, with the best views, with the friendliest people on earth
Through the agency Discover Altitude we chose:PRIVATE LUXURY EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK WITH THE LUXURY LODGE IN THE MOUNTAIN AND HELI BACKcertainly our best choice, the organization was better than we expected, we got more than we paid for, definitely 100%.The agency works with the best guides and porters in the mountains, which is the most important thing, because if you have staff in the mountains who are local and know everyone on the way, it's a win, so you'll never get bad accommodation or food that could spoil your trip .The entire service, from reception at the airport to the trek and city tour, to everything you want, the support is very good, you practically feel like you have a butler by your side 24 hours a day, amazingDo not fall for other agencies that promise you much more, because what the Discover Altitude team can offer you is the maximum, for sure.we will return and without a doubt only through the agency Discover Altitude Team.Greetings to all and enjoy the Himalayan trek because it is divine

Your search for a trekking company can stop here!
I can’t say enough great things about Kumar and Santosh at Discover Altitude. They set my trip up with minimal notice, even made some custom changes and everything went perfectly. They have great connections for everything tourism in Nepal. If you want a guide to show you around Kathmandu-they’ve got you. If you want to go for a trek-it’s their bread and butter. If you want to go for an expedition at half the cost of western companies with guides whose experience will blow your mind-easy day. Whether you’re planning a trip for next year or next week they will take care of you like family. They took the time to have tea with me and discuss my trip from start to finish over a map, they held my luggage safely while I was in the mountains, and they checked in at possible friction points (like flights) to make sure everything was going well. I’ve heard horror stories from backpackers who used other companies and there are a ton around here. It was overwhelming for me to pick one, but Discover Altitude was recommended to me so I figured I’d give them a try. This is now the second trip they planned for me. I also recommended them to some friends who did a luxury Everest view trip with them and had nothing but good things to say. You can roll the dice and try someone else, but if you want to take the safe bet and know that you’ll have an amazing trip at a competitive price there’s no other option.

Smooth, Safe, and Breathtaking: Everest Helicopter Tour
I want to express my gratitude for the unforgettable experience and excellent service! Special thanks to Santosh, who organized the 1 Day Everest Helicopter Tour. He was available almost 24/7, patiently answering all my countless questions…)) On the day of the flight, he personally accompanied us to the airport, and when the weather turned out to be too cloudy, we easily rescheduled the flight for the next day without any issues. I felt 100% confident that we were in good hands and that any concerns would be quickly resolved. It’s such a relief to know that when you’re in a completely new country, everything is taken care of! Also, he took care of transportation and permits, so we could relax and fully enjoy the experience The tour itself was absolutely breathtaking. We made a stop at Lukla Airport and then flew to Everest View Hotel, and all I can say is… wow! Surrounded by towering mountains, the energy of the place is simply incredible. The fresh mountain air, wild birds sitting right beside us in the trees…We spent about an hour there, which was perfect for having breakfast, taking photos, and soaking in the mountain atmosphere.

Very good service
We did two treks with Discover Altitude, Annapurna and Everest Base Camp, everything went very well, the guides were very attentive and experienced, all the equipment was available for anything we always needed, very good service.

Great experience!
Sherpa Tej and I trekked for 4 days through the Himalayas. Tracks were relatively easy, and the views were stunning. Tej is a very good guide and arranged beautiful guesthouses with tasty food. Highly recommend it.

Amazing time on the way to EBC
It was an amazing trip, I had so much fun. The guide was great and very helpful. The trek was challenging but the good positive atmosphere in the group made it fun to cover the distance. Highly recommend!

Great EBC trip
With my friend we did the Everest Base Camp 9 days trail. The experience was really great, though quite intense - but we were well prepared. We saw all the peaks on the way, stayed in nice places with good views and rooms. The views on the way are really great - Amadablan, Everest, Lhodse... It was a very mind-refreshisg and inspiring trip - thanks to Rajesh, our guide and Bala, our porter!

Great time hiking along Nagarkot-Changunarayan trail
I had a great time hiking to see the sunrise at Nagarkot and then hiking along the Nagarkot-Changunarayan Trail with Kumar! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick half day hike on a weekend.

Everest Base Camp
The Everest Base Camp trek was an amazing experience! My guide, Bhakta, was excellent throughout the journey. He was very informative about the region. He allowed me to set my pace and lead the trek. He was always encouraging, even when the trek got challenging. I have enjoyed his company and learned a great deal about trekking in high altitude. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful human being as my sherpa. I highly reccomend him as a guide.

Short Annapurna circuit
Went on a short version of the Annapurna Circuit. Had an awesome time! Went in the middle of the monsoon season. Had a smooth trek with my guide Amar. He was kind and knowledgeable. Made getting around very easy. Bring some flexibility and an open mindset into the mountains, and you’ll have a good time! No rain, no crowds, and warm weather which was great, but also lots of cloud cover, so limited views of the high peaks. Hope to come back for another trek in the future!

A great hike
A very pleasant hike through the forest following a roaring stream up the mountain. It is a popular outing for many from Kathmandu so there were quite a few groups hiking. The crowds thinned out as we got higher and finally we had a lovely meal at an organic farm and restaurant before returning along the same route. A thoroughly enjoyable outing!

Great Day Hike
The logistics and guide were seemless! The lunch spot fantastic. Bhata Magar was a gentle and well paced guide who understood what we wanted to do and took us up a fascinating trail. Great views of the valley

6 day trek in Langtang National park
I had a really great time with Amar! We went to the Langtang trek for 6 days. I was alone but Amar did everything to make this trip unforgettable for me. The nature was amazing along the whole way and at the and I saw many beautiful snowy mountains with a breathtaking view. I would defenetly do this trek again with him. And I will come back in the future for a different trip for sure.

If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency.
I had the incredible opportunity to complete 4 different treks with Discover Altitude: Three Passes, ABC, Annapurna Circuit and Langtang. Each time, the experience exceeded my expectations! The owners, Kumar and Santosh, along with their guides are exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. Everything was very well planned for all treks, and I felt safe even at the highest altitudes, thanks to their friendly and supportive guides. There are many agencies to choose from, and I visited many, but when I met Kumar and Santosh the quality of their personalities quickly became evident. They treated me as a friend they genuinely wanted to support, not just a client, caring only about the money. Even if I hadn’t signed up, they would have treated me the same, not as potential or lost business. This authenticity is why I chose them! This was the only agency where I had that gut feeling, which turned out to be correct. They always went the extra mile. Before each trek, they spent a lot of time going through all the details with me to ensure I had everything I needed and was ready to go. They also checked up on me along the way. During all these times, they truly became my friends! If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency. They are also very competitively priced for both solo and group trips! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

A short walk from Jomsom to Muktinath.
We had great dealings with Kumar and the team at Discover Altitude. Kumar was our initial contact, and Santosh was our day to day contact on-the-ground. Their communication was great, and everything went smoothly. Before departing for Nepal, we emailed Kumar about what we had in mind, and he presented us with different options. We settled on a short trip from Jomsom to Muktinath - flying from Kathmandu to Pokhara and on to Jomsom the next day to commence our hike. (We took the same air-route in reverse on our way back.) In total, the trip was six or seven days, with three days hiking. (This worked out well due to our schedule, but next time we might spend a few more days walking.) Our guide on the trip was Amar Magar. We really recommend him. (Ask for him by name!) He was thoughtful, organised, and provided clear information on what we were doing each day. His patience and pleasant manner made the trip really enjoyable. The hike itself was good. The area from Jomsom to Kagbeni (where we stopped for the first night) was primarily along the road and the riverbed, and the scenery was primarily the dry and desolate scenery one might expect of the Mustang area. Kagbeni was a nice village to rest. (There are a number of tea houses, and an interesting temple where one of the monks showed us around.) The walk up to Muktinath the next day was a little bit tough - being a climb of about 1,000 meters. (Not 'technically' tough; more of a challenge due to low fitness levels!) After resting, we visited the Hindu pilgrimage site, which was quite an interesting experience as it attracts a lot of visitors. We stayed the night at a tea house in Muktinath, and then walked back to Jomsom via a different route, stopping at a village called Lupna on the way back. The route from Muktinath to Lupna was probably the highlight of our trip, with much more diverse terrain, including great alpine scenery, fantastic rocky cliffs and forests, and the picturesque village of Lupna itself, with a very old temple and some caves used for solitary retreats. If you have limited time, then I would recommend the approach we took. It provides a glimpse of the Mustang region (without getting in to the Upper Mustang region, which requires more time and an expensive permit), and a taste of walking in the region. On our walk, we met a number of people who had walked the Annapurna Circuit, taking around two weeks. We might plan better and aim to do that next time! In terms of practical considerations, noting it was mid-May, we found that we were able to walk in t-shirts and long pants. We carried a lot of warm clothing with us, but didn't need really it. (We were a bit cold briefly after arriving at Muktinath, but generally we didn't use our warm clothing. It would be smart to take something - but no need to take too much.) The bedding provided in the rooms was more than adequate, and we didn't need our own sleeping bags. (Taking a sleeping bag liner might suffice from a cleanliness perspective if this is a concern.)
