Useful Info

Important Note: Spending around five to ten minutes in Kalapathhar or Everest Base Camp will prevent us from getting altitude sickness, so we don’t need to worry about health hazards. Our helicopter will be on stand-by at Kalapathhar or Everest Base Camp, therefore it is technically impossible to spend more than the allocated time.

TOTAL TRIP DURATION: 5-6 hours

Best place to assist trek

I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

Amazing Everest Heli tour and Chitwan Safari with Discover Altitude Treks ..

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Discover Altitude Trek's Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari. Both adventures were beyond my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari with them was a privilege beyond words. The helicopter tour granted breathtaking aerial views of Everest's splendor, impeccably guided by Santosh. The Chitwan Safari, a mesmerizing jungle encounter, offered close wildlife encounters and seamless accommodations. Santosh's exceptional leadership and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience. Discover Altitude Trek's unwavering commitment to excellence and the team's passionate dedication made these journeys truly extraordinary.

2 day private tour Kathmandu

To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
I can recommend him.

Attractions in Kathmandu

Although my helicopter tour to the Everest base camp fell through due to unforeseen weather conditions, both Santosh and Kumar were very helpful. They not only ensured my refund for the cancellation but Santosh went the extra mile, helped us get around Kathmandu, and recommended places for us. They both possess immense knowledge not just about Nepal, but also about Bhutan and Tibet. They offer unique experiences and are passionate about what they do. I highly recommend them, whether you are looking for tips on getting by Kathmandu or planning your trek to the Everest base camp. These guys are your go-to! Responsive, transparent, and very good prices.

Nature - The real healer.

The root cause of misery is our distant relationship with nature. When we again are in nature, we are healed. In a state of severe anxiety and stress, I went for a trek with Discover Altitude. The natural aura and energy along with the 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.
