        Short EBC Trek- 5 Stars!
        We had a fantastic 5 day short EBC trip with our guide Gakul. We hiked as far as Everest View point, with Gakul helping us every step of the way- even when trekking paths were closed and we had to go off route. Lots of information was shared with us as we learned about the people, wildlife and mountains around us along the way. Thank you Gakul for a brilliant trip!

        The sunrise and sunset over the Himalayan mountains was a gift
        I did the chisapani to nagarkot 3 day trek. It was interesting to see how the local people live and to walk through the villages in the hills. It was nice to have the meals and accommodation included. I did this trek as training for poon hill and it helped me condition for it. I will say someone said it was “easy trekking” and compared to Everest I am sure it is, it was personally the hardest challenge I’ve ever done. My guide suresh was really helpful and let me go at my pace when I was tired or struggling. I felt safe the whole time.

        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

        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 BACK certainly 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, amazing Do 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

        Beautiful views, great experience and a great guide
        We had a hike with Discover Altitude. We did the Annapurna Short Circuit and had an amazing time. The landscape was beautiful and our guide Bhata was amazing. We really enjoyed spending time with him and he was very knowledable and experienced. Our porter Dutman did a great job as well.

        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.

        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.

      This was my first trek in Nepal and it was truly amazing. The trip was very well organized, our guide Thakur was very friendly and always selected great places for rest and food. Our porter Chandra was very helpful and always in the good mood, although he needed to carry a lot more than we did.
      The surrounding of Manaslu is amazing piece of nature full of wild animals, beautiful plants, breathtaking views and nice locals in the villages. Also the journey to the start of the trek by local transport was unforgettable experience.
      I would recommend this tour to all trekkers, who are looking for great adventure in beautiful mountains and don't want to share the track with crowds as it could happen at the better known treks around Everest or Annapurna.
      You should be ready to step out of the comfort zone for few moments - yes, few ascents were challenging due to high altitude and it was very cold one night we spent at Dharmasala - the last village before Larkey Pass.
      After our comeback to Kathmandu we had very nice lunch with Kumar and Santosh - the guys from Discover Altitude who told us many interesting facts about life in Nepal.
      All in all it was one of the best experiences in my life and in few years I will definitely come back to Nepal and go for another trek with Discover Altitude.

      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!

      Discover Altitude Trek pvt. Ltd. is the best option to go for mountainous tour. They are very much connected to the lòcals one needs on the way during the trek. The arrangements they do are also of very much standard quality.

      I appreciate nice approach from our guide and porter. They took care of us and we could enjoy breathtaking views and moments in beautiful nature near Manaslu. The agency had everything very well prepared in advance. We did customized 10 Manaslu circuit days trek instead of 12 days. It was difficult but still manageable due to great help of our porter. Thanks a lot.

      This was our first experience in Nepal.So decided to go for a short trek and explore Pokhara and Chitwan tour. our first destination region. It was easy trek to the highest altitude of 3880 m. We spend two magnificent night in Namche, visited sherpa village and hikrd to Everest view hotel to explore the Himalayas and we were excited to see wide range of Himalayas. After 4 days of trek we went to Pokhara and Chitwan, both were lovely sides with mesmerizing scenery and standing arrogantly tall mountains. Pokhara was awesome with lakes and Annapurna mountain. meanwhile, Chitwan with wildlife. we saw rhino, tiger, deer, bear and crocodile and enjoyed culture tour around the village before flying to kathmandu.. Although it was our first experience , Mr.Kumar the MD of Discover Altitude is really amazing , knowledgeable, caring and motivating person.We would love to see him in the coming days. Highly recommended this team ,who wish to explore the fascinating Nepal. My warm and best wishes on behalf of me and my friends.

      Root cause of misery is our distant relationship with nature. When we again be in nature, we are healed. In a state of severe anxity and stress, I went for a trek with Discover Altitude. The natual aura and energy along with friendly attitudes of Basu g and Kumar g helped me to overcome my inner disturbances.
      I would like to suggest all the friends who are in search of sheer peace from all around the world including Europe and America to come in the lap of mother nature . Discover altitude can be your best pal to do so.
      Thanks again to Discover Altitude, Basu g and Kumar g for their inexplicable support.
