Nepal is a landlocked gem, sandwiched between India and China, located in the Himalaya (“The mystic land of Yetis”).The country fascinates with mesmerizing mountains, rich cultural diversity, magnificent temples, artistic shrines, and inspiring natural scenery. Due to its geographical diversity, Nepal is one of the best travel destinations in the world. Whatever action you love to do, in Nepal you can do it! The choices to embark to a lifetime experience are endless. Either you climb high mountains, trek between the world’s tallest mountains, go for a Safari ride, mountain bike in the core of the Himalaya, raft on the wild rivers, explore the UNESCO World heritage sites, the experience is indescribable.
Bhutan is well-known for its dramatically varied topography. It boasts a great diversity of awe-inspiring landscapes of snow-clad mountains, lush valleys, dense forests and rushing streams that are considered to be abodes of the gods.To the south lies India; to the north Tibet. Having only opened its doors to the tourism in 1974, Bhutan has remained relatively isolated from western influence and enabled to maintain a rich traditional based Buddhist culture.
The autonomous region of Tibet is located at the main part of Qinghai-Tibet plateau, south-West frontier of China. Tibet borders with Sichuan, Yuannan, Qinghai
and Xinjiang; to the south contiguous to India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Burma, and bounded by Kashmir on the west. Open grassland, virgin forest, Tibet is also home for some of the world’s tallest mountains, with several of them making the top ten list with Mount Everest: the highest mountain on earth. With its particular dry climate, Tibet is worth a visit almost all year long. April to November are the milder months.
A splendid Nature, a history of several thousand years, an identity like no other: the Alps. Are you dreaming of a new experience? Climbing a 4000-metre high peak, enjoying a meal at a timeless bivouac or admiring the high peaks on a journey of several days’ walking. Excited of spending the summer in the mountains?

I discovered a fabulous region. 11 days walking in the Sagarmantha National Park. From Lukla to Gokyo lake, then the Renjo La pass at 5360 metres with a breathtaking view of the highest peaks, including Everest.
Thanks to WILD YAK and Andrea, we were able to do it in good conditions. We received invaluable advice on how to reach the high altitudes safely.
Many thanks and we’ll do it again.

thanks again for the wonderful experience we had in Nepal on our trek to Gokyo in November 2021. We could not have dreamt of a better partner to discover the Everest region and its people.
Where to start ? From our very first talks about a trekking in Nepal to delivering an unforgettable holiday, WILD YAK was flawless.
Norbu met us at the airport in Kathmandu, and after a few days there exploring temples and delicious Nepalese cuisine we flew to Lukla for our trek. From there we started our trekking to Gokyo and its stunning glacier lakes.
Norbu and the whole WILD YAK Team were incredibly attentive and professional. They know the mountain like no other.
Our guide Norbu was always one step ahead, making us feel secure and comfortable all along the way. You could tell that thanks to his experience, he would always know what we’d need to make us feel well. I’m not talking about “lowland luxury” like having a bottle of wine or other stuff frankly you don’t need on a mountain. I’m talking about the little details – from the hot water always ready on our table to fresh ginger and honey they bought for me in Namche Bazaar to help soothe my cough which I had brought from Switzerland. I’m talking about our guide Norbu telling me “I’m in room 21, wake me if needed” when my wife was feeling the altitude a bit on our first day sleeping at 3’500m.
On our last day, the ascension of 5’360m high Gokyo Ri would be the highlight of our trip. That is, before we realized Norbu organised a little surprise on our helicopter flight back from Gokyo: instead of taking the direct route we did an astonishing tour of the Everest area, a breathtaking flight that we will never forget.
Back in Kathmandu, we enjoyed a few more days rest, did some shopping, and finally flew back full of memories ?.
Dhanyabād WILD YAK friends !

We would like to thank you once again for fulfilling our lifelong dream in such a wonderful way. Our trekking over Renjo La Pass at 5360m
was perfectly organized, dedicated and caring accompanied by Norbu and the faithful porters Pasang and Ashoke.
Your guiding idea “Dream – Explore – Discover” fits perfectly. We were very proud of how good we mastered the unusual height – and this only
thanks to your years of experience and the balanced daily stages. Our expectations were high – and were far exceeded.
Prayer flags are blowing on our terrace in front of the kitchen window and carry our best wishes for the people of Napal out into the world.
Namaste Andrea and Hugo
