Why Top Himalaya Guides?
We definitely have the “home ground advantage”. We gained our experience and qualifications on the highest peaks in the world, developing techniques specific to high altitude climbing. To ensure we are well-rounded climbers, we have further sought international climbing experience and qualifications – climbing and guiding on technical alpine-scale mountains (including during the winter seasons) and honing our ice climbing skills.
