Client Reviews

Our trip to Nepal was an adventure! Amar our guide was great and took care of us every step of the way to make sure we were comfortable and safe . Santosh and Kumar the owners , came by to say their goodbyes and treated us with hospitality and gratefulness and I can’t say thank you enough!

Discover Altitude was the most attentive company I have ever worked with! AMAZING! Kumar and Amar made me feel like I was the most important person in their life. Amar our guide would have given us the shirt off his back if we asked. Very attentive to all our needs. Kumar also help us with queries that were not a part of our trek. Kumar would respond to all emails within 24 hours and always gave me very detailed information. I never got a "no" from this company. The customer service from Discover Altitude was truly above and beyond. I will be returning to the Himalayas and I wouldn't choose any other company to work with. My only complaint would be they feed us too much food, but it was delicious!!!

This was an amazing trip to Nepal!! We plan on coming back to the region to do more trekking with Discover Altitude and our best guide Amar!! Everyday was an adventure to be remembered!!

My experience with Discover Altitude began long before our trip. Santosh was amazing - we told him what we wanted to do and he arranged it all for us. He booked the tickets and also collected them for us. This was so much easier than us working out what we needed to do at the airport!.
Santosh met us at the airport with a board with our names on and welcome flower necklaces and drove us to our hotel.
Each evening he contacted us by WhatsApp to confirm details for the next day. He rearranged our trips to suit the weather.
The day after we arrived we were collected and taken to the airport where Santosh gave us our tickets for a return flight to Lukla, he told us where to go and how to check in. He waited all day at the airport for us as the return flight was delayed.
The next day we went on a helicopter trip to Everest View Hotel - we would have gone to Kala Patthar but it was very cloudy so unfortunately we didnt go.But the trip was excellent anyway. We had an amazing time and Santosh came with us to check we were ok at altitude, and we only stayed about an hr due to the weather and altitude. We had an excellent breakfast at the hotel.
The next day was meant to be our mountain flight to see the Himalayas, but Santosh booked the mountain flight for each day and then he cancelled the worst days so we could get the best day. So the day was spent at Patan Durbasquare and Bhaktapur Durbarsquare, which was a brilliant insight into how Buddhism and Hinduism were born.
The following day was Full day Sightseeing :
Chandragiri Hills by Cable car - To see aerial view of Kathmandu and surrounding mountain but again sadly it was raining,
Next was the Monkey Temple which was brilliant - so big and so many temples and the monkeys are amazing. We learned that monkeys are excellent swimmers!.
Next was the Pashupatinath Temple where we saw how the local people cremate their dead.
Last was a tour around the outside of Bouddhanath Stupa which is great for shopping.
Our guide for these 2 tour days (Kumar) was extremely knowledgeable.
We asked if he knew where the RV café was which has great views of the airport.He made some calls and asked the driver to go by there so that we would know where it was.
Our final day was the best for weather so Santosh again took us to the airport and made sure we got our tickets for the mountain flight. This was the highlight of the trip. The flight was approximately 1 hr with Shree airlines who were amazing and gave us guides to the mountains so that each one can be identified and the cabin crew pointed out each mountain to us including Everest!. The weather was excellent. Everyone had a window seat and the plane turned around and went back the same way so that everyone on each side of the plane had a great view.
Santosh was brilliant re-arranging our flight for this day. We couldnt thank him enough.
He collected us from the airport and took us to the R.V Cafe where he told us to let us know when we wanted to be collected.
On our departure day both Santosh and Kumar both came to the airport with us to see us off. A really nice touch! They even gave us beautiful Nepali silk scarves.
We had the best time ever - all thanks to Santosh, Kumar and the drivers.
So if you are thinking of going to Nepal then you check out Discover Altitude. They will make sure you have the best time.

Santosh met us at the airport with a board with our names on and welcome flower necklaces and drove us to our hotel (we had booked an airport-hotel transfer.

Our guide for these 2 tour days (Kumar) was extremely knowledgeable and obliging - he made sure we had the best time, and that we got all the souvenirs we wanted.
We asked if he knew where the RV café was as we wanted to go and watch the planes there overlooking the end of Tribhuvan Airport - he made some calls and asked the driver to go by there so that we would know.
Our final day was the best for weather so Santosh again took us to the airport and advised us how/where to check in for our mountain flight - which was simply amazing - the day was brilliant - the flight was approximately 1 hr with Shree airlines who were amazing and gave us guides to the mountains so that each one can be identified and the cabin crew pointed out each mountain to us including the big mamma - Everest! So clear - we could not have been happier - everyone had a window seat and the plane turned around and went back the same was so that everyone on each side of the plane had a great view. Without the knowledge and help of Santosh - we would not have seen anything at all!
When the mountain flight was over we were taken to RV café and collected later.
We were taken to the airport the next morning for our flight home and were given beautiful Nepali silk scarves.
We had the best time ever - all thanks to Santosh, Kumar and the drivers.

15-day Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek with Chola Pass.
Let me start off by saying... DO IT!!!.
It was the most amazing and memorable experience I have ever had.
If I could give a 100 stars, I would!!!!
Where can I start? We booked this trip on very short notice. The 15-day trek of Everest Base camp and Gokyo lakes with Cholo pass.
Our guide was the amazing Bikram Khadka or as we called him BK Daai (Dai meaning older brother).

We met Kumar, Santosh & BK Dai in Thamel, Kathmandu, a couple of days before. Spoke over the plan and what to expect on the trek, including potential altitude sickness, and paid the rest of what we owed, (paying the deposit while we were still in the UK). BK dai also helped us get little bits and bobs from Kathmandu for our trek, like renting sleeping bags, etc., which was helpful.

We knew we were in the monsoon season, so we knew what to expect. In Kathmandu, our flight to Lukla was delayed, with BK Dai worrying we might have to get it. Luckily, after about a 2-hour wait, we were lucky, and our flight went through, luck being the keyword for our whole trip.

On our trek, BK Dai had us put in the best available room, where available and made sure we were extremely comfortable (it being off-season helped with this as more availability).

The hike from Lukla to Phakding was hard, in the heat, but we made it in 3 hours. Had a sleep at a really nice hotel. The next day we left around 7 am (the usual time we started hiking throughout the whole trip) and made our way to Namche Bazaar. He made sure we were okay all the way through, explained interesting facts and points throughout the trip, and most importantly thing, made us laugh all the way through this trip. In Namche, we stayed at the Footrest Lodge, where he introduced us to his friend Gopal, an amazing and hard-working person. We stayed there 2 nights to acclimatize. After the first night, we had a clear morning, and BK Dai woke us up at around 5:30 am to take us to our first and only sighting of Everest, which was amazing. Due to the clouds, throughout the trip it was difficult. That was BK Dai, he always woke up early to see how the weather was and made sure we got the best things to see.

Our initial plan was to go to Gokyo first and then to Everest Base Camp, but BK dai recommended, we should do the Everest Base Camp first, as Gokyo Lake/Cholo pass is extremely difficult, which it was (not for the faint-hearted, but amazingly rewarding).
We agreed and went on the route to Everest.

We made our way up the trek staying over in a couple of towns, stopping in Pheriche to acclimatise then Lobuche one night before we made it to Gorakshep. On the day we arrived at Gorakshep, we dropped our bags and went straight to Everest Base Camp, which was a tad bit treacherous, with land/rock slides and loose rocks being the path and nothing else. But, BK Dai knew exactly what and where he was going, which was comforting.

The next day it was far too cloudy for Kalapatthar, so we headed back down to make our way to Gokyo Lakes. We stayed in Dzongla for the night and early next morning made our way to Gokyo Lakes through Chola Pass, and it was probably the hardest thing, way harder than the Everest Base Camp Trek. It was amazing, exciting, dangerous, and adrenaline-pumping. There were moments when we had to climb using ropes, walk over glaciers, encounter heavy snow, and the last 1 hour or so, vertically climb a cliff face. It was exhausting, but my god it was rewarding. Gokyo Lake was beautiful, but again, heavy clouds prevented us from going to Gokyo Ri.

We were lucky many times throughout this trip, we never got altitude sickness, and as BK Dai always said, if you are hungry it's a good sign, which I was, all the time. We were also very lucky with the weather on some days, the views, the flight to Lukla & back. There were others we met going down, who didn't even see Everest or missed their flight and had to trek for 3 days and then get a jeep.

Throughout this trip, we made many friends, clients from abroad, and guides and porters.

BK dai to use was more than a guide, he was more than a friend, he was like our brother. I am not sure what this trip would have been like without him, he made it perfect and went beyond his work. From the bottom of my heart, I have nothing but love from him for making this amazing.

It's incredible how much I miss him, all his stories, his jokes, his energetic personality.
I can't wait to see him already.

Thank you, I will never forget this in my lifetime.

With a heartfelt love,
