Nepal Testimonials
"I would like to thank all the team from Trek, Ski, Climb for providing a life-long lasting experience which enabled my father and I to visit Nepal, immerse ourselves into the country's culture and furthermore understand the beauty that transcends throughout the Himalayas. To be guided by caring, knowledgeable, and respectful guides into the mountains where upon we were able to view Mount Everest and all the other surrounding beauty that makes this magical region one of the true wonders in our world."

"I did Everest Base Camp and Island Peak with Trek Climb Ski. The trek was excellent, great food, excellent timetable and altitude management. Of course the scenery is amazing and it's great to understand a bit about such a different culture and people. I strongly recommend you give it a shot."
Peter Cook
Everest Base Camp & Island Peak - October 2011
"I'll be recommending Trek Climb Ski for promotion at World Nomads ... out of all the other guides I saw and spoke to and the feedback I was getting from other solo female trekkers about their guides along the way, Gyan was the best by far!"
Kate Hoffman
Annupurna Introductory - October 2011
"The expedition far exceeded our expectations … the food also far exceeded my previous experiences in Nepal (when I wasn´t in an organised group and it was very repetitive). Raul and I couldn´t be happier with the trip … Tika and the whole team were the best on the mountain - there was not one moment we wished we were with another group. We couldn´t be happier with Trek Climb Ski and would definitely recommend you to anyone we know going to Nepal."
Sam Frankenburg & Raul Martin
Mera Peak - September 2011
"A great insight into Nepalese mountain culture and life. Ideal for trekkers with some camping experience looking for a high altitude experience and dont mind the cold. Culminates with a great sense of achievement upon reaching the summit after many days covering rough and variable terrain."
Peter Croxford
Mera Peak - April 2011
"The Haute route in the European Alps, the hut system in the American Rockies, and the refugios in the Andes - while each amazing - arenothing compared to the Mera Peak trekking route. Equally impressive to the grandeur of the Himalayas was the exceptional service and support from the Trek Climb Ski crew. Tip: bring your skis - gliding down Mera Peak was one of the most incredible skiing experiences I've ever had!"
Mark Horoszowski

"Once in a lifetime experience made possible by genuine Sherpas and expert team."

"For me, this introduction into mountaineering was incredible. It has inspired me to want to pursue working in this industry and the 'want' to gain more experience."

"Trek Climb Ski allows people from diverse backgrounds, who would not normally see themselves as mountaineers, to achieve something extraordinary. I can't thank you enough for the experience."

"The Everest Base Camp Photography Tour in November 2010 was truly one of the most memorable and fulfilling holidays I have done. The experiences of culture, tranquility, and of course awesome views was second to none, and the added benefit of achieving this with my Canon EOS 7D and Mark's quality photography tutorials, made capturing these experiences completely real. The concept of having such great photos of the stories I can tell of the holiday, will ensure that this tour will forever live on in my memory without it fading. I sincerely recommend this tour to anyone with the passion to experience one of the worlds most spectacular places with the guys at Drift and Trek Climb Ski."

"Dear Simon, Marianne and I would like to express our gratitude for the support and leadership you exhibited throughout our wonderful (and very challenging) trek to Everest Base Camp. We would also like to express our thanks to the prompt action from you and Tika when Marianne took ill in Dingboche and had to be medivac'd to Kathmandu. Your calm and assured manner really helped both of us. Please send our thanks to all the Sherpas involved especially for the mighty Lhakpa who single handedly carried Marianne to the helicopter, he deserves a medal, for Santa whose food on the trek was quite incredible, never forgetting the amazing cake he conjured up for our anniversary. For Dor and Lama Babu for their smiling friendly never say never attitude, they are all wonderful people with whom it is our privilege to have had them as part of our lives. Final thanks goes to the mighty Gyan, who has been at our side since we returned to Kathmandu organising everything for us and ensuring we had everything we needed."
Peter & Marianne Weller

"Thanks to all the team at Trek Climb Ski, the organisation and leadership of your trip was first class. Combine this with the most incredible scenery in the world, a fantastic crew of trekkers and staff, and the very rewarding personal achievement of scaling Island Peak has made this a trip I will always treasure."
Matthew Kelly

"My second trip with Trek Climb Ski and again it exceeded all expectations. The increasing challenge on this trip pushed me again to where I personally wanted to go, which is beyond what I think I'm capable of."
Dr. Rosie Purcell
Everest Base Camp & Island Peak - October 2010
"When you see a climbing Sherpa helping clients fix their crampons - without gloves on - at 6 a.m. in minus 10 degree weather - and still smiling - you know you're onto a good thing!! The Island Peak climb was fantastic. It was exhausting but you forget that ... you just remember the looks on people's faces when they realise they have made it!"
Danny Collins-Roe
Everest Base Camp & Island Peak - October 2010
"An action packed adventure that challenges not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. A fabulous, well organised and professional team provided the support we needed to make it to the top! Thanks again."
Chris Hayes & Anna Joy

"We experienced a fantastic trek with Trek Climb Ski. Our guide Gyan was an absolute legend, we were very well looked after and the entire trip was well organised, planned and executed. I can't complain about anything and can't wait for the next trip! Thanks Gyan and Trek Climb Ski."
Angela Connors
Annapurna Introductory - September 2010
"The whole trip was an inspirational experience and has motivated me to do more trekking, especially in Nepal. Gyan and the porters went out of their way to ensure our experience was a fantastic one."
Katrina Chokljat
Annapurna Introductory - September 2010
"Wow, when you see the logistics behind an expedition first hand you really begin to appreciate just how valuable your choice in provider becomes. It’s obvious that over the years, Trek Climb Ski have developed a unique rock solid formula and it’s purely due to their experience, organisational skills and great choice in staff that we had the brilliant (and successful) trip that we did. Inclement conditions, cancelled flights and heavy snow was maneuvered expertly by Nick and Tika and meant that when other teams failed to summit they never faulted and remained confident, upbeat and focused on getting everyone safely up to the top. I can’t wait to climb again and see the team. The courage of Trek Climb Ski’s climbing Sherpas, the big heart (and humour) of the porters and skills of the amazing cooks will be one of the main reasons I will return to the Himalaya with Nick, Tika and his team. Well done guys for a mind blowing and seriously ACE trip, see you again soon!"
Jade Jackson
Mera Peak - September 2010
"This was the most amazing trip & achievement in my life. The team at Trek Climb Ski helped me to achieve the summit with the most professional care and attitude. I can't wait to go with Nick and his team again to other destinations in Nepal."
Heike Schwarz
Mera Peak - September 2010
"Everything was great. Particularly the day to day detail of what would happen and what was expected the next day - this alone gave a good picture of what was to come without making it sound too difficult. Keeping the whole team focused and enthusiastic was the big one for me. Nick and his team kept me strong & enthusiastic throughout the whole trek which helped me reach my goal of the summit. What a great feeling of achievement!"
Brent Connolly

Linda Walshe
Everest Circuit - April 2010
"The scenery, the people and in particular our team of Sherpas and porters all combined to make this the most memorable trip I have ever been on. I will certainly be going back and wouldn't consider going with anyone other than Trek Climb Ski."
John Morgan
Everest Base Camp and Island Peak - March 2010
"The owners of Trek Climb Ski are passionate about their business and believe in their business. They are out on the trails doing the hard yards with their clients. You will not get any better customer service than this anywhere - I guarantee you that. You will develop great friendships with them (the Nepalese people) as you embrace their culture. Nepal is such a poor country but the people so friendly and the scenery so beautiful it needs to be seen first hand to be truly appreciated. Trek Climb Ski gave me that experience and it was so worth it."
Mick Goonan
Everest Base Camp and Island Peak - March 2010
"The personal service provided right from my first contact with Nick, to Gyan ensuring my bags got to the right place at Kathmandu airport for my departure, is what makes Trek Climb Ski stand out. The combined experience, knowledge, passion and professionalism of your team made a trip to an unknown country - as a single female traveller - relaxed, enjoyable & memorable. This was for me the fulfillment of a life long dream and with your help I have many special memories that will last a lifetime."
Sonya Lovell
Everest Base Camp - March 2010
"I wish to congratulate Trek Climb Ski for providing a great getaway for me and I loved every second of it. From start to finish, everyday was taken care of allowing me to relax and enjoy myself. I have many photos and stories which have made everyone at home jealous and wish they hadn't chickened out and come with me."
Tom Lucas
Everest Base Camp - March 2010
“I can't fault anything about our adventure. Gyan is an excellent, caring guide and it was great to have Kestrar (our porter) carry our bags! Thank you for organising such a great trip and we will definately be recommending Trek Climb Ski to our friends."
Tarah Dorling & Matt Grimmond
Annapurna Introductory - November 2009
“Simply an outstanding experience. In between the professionalism, dedication and unfailing friendliness of the staff, you can forget the achievement of reaching the summit. All mere highlights that will always be remembered.”
Dr. Rosie Purcell
Mera Peak - April 2009
“This is the experience of a lifetime. Nick and Trek Climb Ski will help you dig deeper, mentally and physically than you probably thought possible, the reward is an exhiliration you are never likely to forget.”
John Carruthers
Mera Peak - April 2009
“An experience and a sense of achievement I never thought I could obtain. If I never do a trip like this again, I will remember this as a great pinnacle in my life, something I will never, ever forget. Thank you for a beautiful adventure! And for the chance to see part of the Himalayas and it’s people that will remain in my heart forever.”
Barbara Rattray

Dianne Barker

“The Trek was an experience of a lifetime. It was evident that our trip was far better planned and researched than other companies. We had the best of the lodges and all of our requests accommodated where available. I am hopeful of returning to Nepal with Trek Climb Ski in 2009.”
Ross Indian
Everest Circuit - April 2008
“Given that this trek took place in a remote part of a third world country, it was a very well conducted and enjoyable event. All the staff provided excellent support and were extremely patient with all the guests.”
John Laird
Everest Circuit - October 2007
“An unforgettable trip and 3 days I will never forget being Gokyo, Cho La, Kala Pattar / Base Camp. Supported by people who clearly cared about us. Organised beautifully and without fuss. Trek Climb Ski should be very proud of what they have done and what they are trying to achieve. Congrats!”
Tony King
Everest Circuit - October 2007
“Nick, you introduced me to the concept at Aspen in January and entranced us with photos and video of your Everest summit. My motivation was to reach Base Camp and everything else has been a bonus …. an excellent, patient and understanding response to our individual needs.”
Michael Stillwell
Everest Circuit - October 2007
“As for the holiday, I don’t think I have enjoyed one more than this trip. Right down to the airlines, the Kathmandu experience, the trekking, the country and the views. It was simply superb. Every day had 'Wow Factor' to it and as we were always saying, around every corner is another postcard.”
Ray and Leanne Foster
Everest Circuit - October 2007
“An incredible experience and a real ‘eye-opener’ in terms of what’s required when mountaineering above 6000 metres in Nepal. Your Sherpa team was fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble. I’ll definitely be back with Trek Climb Ski in the future.”
John Morrison
Annapurna Circuit & Chulu West - April 2006
“A trip I’ll never forget and what an amazing place Nepal is. The people, the mountains and even the weather was fantastic. The horse ride from Muktinath to Jomson with our Sherpa team a real highlight. Thanks to all the crew for an awesome time.”
