Our Nepal guides and office staff

We have partnered with Expedition Himalaya for most of our Nepal operations although this will change after coronavirus as we work increasingly with local specialist operators

Great staff are the key and the success of our exploratory treks, in particular, is because of our hard-working staff and porter teams.

We started working with Dawa and Nabin of Expedition Himalaya in 1999 and I (Jamie) have shared summits and adventures with every guide and cook, many of whom first came along as trek sherpas and kitchen hands.
