Pasang has organized 6 scientific expeditions for me since 1994. Some of these treks were in fairly popular areas (i.e. Annapurnas), but some others were off the beaten track (Nar - Phu valley, Hidden valley). In all circumstances, Pasang has demonstrated professionalism, commitment, and dedication to the success and pleasure of each trek. In my view, Pasang is one of the best-kept gems of the Himalayas. He is sincere, honest, and most importantly respectful of everyone's' needs. He treats every support crew member with dignity, always making sure everyone is safe, healthy…and having fun! After seeing and working with several trekking companies, I can assure you that Pasang can beat any price, and still offer one of the best, most friendly service available today. Pasang has an amazing experience organizing from the simplest trek in the foothills to the most elaborate mountain climbing expedition. I highly recommend him to organize your next Himalayan experience!

We had a wonderful trek to the Annapurna region with Pasang Tamang and his brothers and friends from his village. Having been to Nepal 8 times, Pasang and his crew were the most efficient, and most pleasant outfit I have been with. We were trekking off the beaten path and Pasang organised everything super-efficiently. The whole crew were always great fun to be with and I can recommend him without reservation. Whatever you want to do in Nepal, wherever you want to go you will not find a person better than Pasang!

I have spent about a month trekking with Pasang last April. I feel so grateful to have had Pasang as my guide. I consider him a friend now. He is intelligent, hard worker and extremely good at organizing. His knowledge and amount of experience on the mountain amazes me.

During the trek, he takes extra steps to ensure you are doing well and is always ready to help. Pasang makes sure you have everything you need. Pasang is also an amazing climber. I will always remember him climbing steep snow/ice, he is so fast, so strong and so happy. He is definitely born to live up high.

I am dreaming of another climb with this wonderful friend. There is no doubt in my mind, on my next trip to Nepal, Pasang will be my guide, whether it is for a trek or technical climbing or bigger expedition. I fully trust him and know he will do everything to provide a superb experience.

J'ai eu l'aoccasion de faire un trek facile avec un organisme français à Noel 2001. Il s'agissait de la vallée de Kathmandu puis de Chitwan Park. Pasang était un des deux guides de notre groupe. J'ai tellement apprécié son efficacité, sa gentillesse, sa discrétion, le fait qu'il se précocuppe à chaque instant de chaque personne et bien sûr son extrême profesionnalisme que j'ai décidé de partir avec lui en mars 2003 pour un trek un peu plus sportif...et apprendre le Népalais.
