Tours in Nepal with a local guide suit independent travellers who want a professional on the route and are ready to work in a language agreed in advance, without a Russian-speaking leader alongside them throughout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this format a Nepali guide meets the group within a confirmed programme, sets the pace, monitors acclimatisation and safety, and deals with the lodges, the porters and the transport team. Their name, experience, working language, the assistants with them and the exact limits of their responsibility are confirmed before booking.<\/p>\n

The route, the altitudes and the acclimatisation logic do not get any easier because the type of support has changed. The short trek to Everest is still a high-altitude programme, the Cho La is a serious pass, and the Manaslu and Everest expeditions are major high-altitude projects. Choose the route and the experience it demands first, and the type of guide second.<\/p>\n

The local-guide format should not be chosen simply because it is the cheapest. First make sure you will be able to say freely how you are feeling, follow a briefing and discuss a change of route. If you need Russian throughout, compare tours in Nepal with a Russian-speaking guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Treks in the Everest region<\/h2>\n

Everest Base Camp with a local guide<\/a> - the classic route through Lukla, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Gorak Shep, base camp and Kala Patthar. It suits participants with good stamina who are ready for several days at altitude.<\/p>\n

Everest in 10 days with a local guide<\/a> shortens the return leg by helicopter. A compressed schedule removes neither the need to acclimatise nor the dependence on flying weather.<\/p>\n

Everest via the Gokyo lakes with a local guide<\/a> adds the Cho La pass, the Ngozumpa glacier and Gokyo Ri. It is a harder version than the classic way to base camp.<\/p>\n

Annapurna, Manaslu and the remote districts<\/h2>\n

Annapurna Base Camp with a local guide<\/a> goes by way of Poon Hill and the high amphitheatre of Annapurna. No technical climbing equipment is needed, but the many steps and the daily height gained and lost call for training.<\/p>\n

The Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake with a local guide<\/a> takes in Tilicho Lake and the Thorong La. It is a high-altitude programme, and it cannot be shortened at the expense of acclimatisation.<\/p>\n

The Manaslu Circuit with a local guide<\/a> follows the Budhi Gandaki valley through Samagaon and over the Larke La. The infrastructure is plainer and the self-sufficiency required is greater than on the popular Everest routes.<\/p>\n

The full Kangchenjunga route with a local guide<\/a> links Pangpema in the north with the passes and the southern valley. The short Kangchenjunga version<\/a> visits the northern base camp and returns down the same valley.<\/p>\n

Makalu Base Camp with a local guide<\/a> leads through the Barun valley into a remote district with a mix of lodges and camping. This option asks for more self-reliance and a readiness to live simply.<\/p>\n

Island Peak and Mera Peak<\/h2>\n

Island Peak with a local guide<\/a> joins a trek in the Everest region to the climb of a six-thousander. Participants need acclimatisation and confidence using crampons, an ice axe, a harness and fixed ropes.<\/p>\n

Mera Peak with a local guide<\/a> is a high-altitude climb, and it calls for training and a check of the technical kit beforehand. The label \u201ctrekking peak\u201d does not mean a walk to the summit.<\/p>\n

Island Peak and Mera Peak with a local guide<\/a> combines the two summits in one long programme. Accumulated fatigue and the move between districts make it considerably harder than either climb on its own.<\/p>\n

Ama Dablam, Manaslu and Everest<\/h2>\n

Ama Dablam with a local guide<\/a> - a technical expedition with high camps and rotations. It calls for confirmed climbing experience and is not the automatic next step after any trekking six-thousander.<\/p>\n

Manaslu with a local guide<\/a> - an eight-thousander expedition with high camps, a personal Sherpa, oxygen and a large weather reserve, as set out on the programme page.<\/p>\n

Everest with a local guide<\/a> is meant for a mountaineer with extensive, confirmed high-altitude experience. Participation is considered on the basis of a climbing record, not simply on fitness or the ability to pay for the expedition.<\/p>\n
