Message from Our Founder
A personal note from Surya Lama, Founder & Managing Director of Igloo Himalaya Treks.
In 2004, I took my very first steps on the mountain trails not as an executive or a guide, but as a hardworking mountain porter carrying loads across the high Himalayan passes. Over the next two decades, guiding more than 380 expeditions across Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, and Upper Mustang, I saw firsthand what truly matters: real mountain expertise, complete honesty, and deep respect for every human on the trail.
Too many travellers face hidden middleman fees, inexperienced trail leaders, or overworked porters without proper gear and insurance. I founded Igloo Himalaya Treks with one non-negotiable standard: treat every trekker like family, enforce strict ethical porter welfare with fair wages, and maintain zero compromises on safety and acclimatization.
"When you walk among these giant mountains, you realize how powerful nature is and how warm human hospitality can be. My team and I look forward to walking beside you."

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have something on your mind? Let's put that to rest!
What are the Legal & Permit Considerations for Trekking in Nepal?
All international trekkers in Nepal require official TIMS (Trekker's Information Management System) registration and specific National Park or Conservation Area permits (e.g. Sagarmatha or Annapurna Conservation permits). Restricted regions such as Manaslu and Upper Mustang require special government permits and a mandatory licensed local guide. Igloo Himalaya Treks arranges all legal paperwork and permits seamlessly for you before your arrival.
How to Ensure Maximum Safety During High-Altitude Treks?
Safety is built directly into our day-by-day itineraries with mandatory acclimatization rest days. Our Sherpa guides carry pulse oximeters to measure blood oxygen levels twice daily, portable first-aid kits, and satellite communication devices. Additionally, we coordinate 24/7 emergency helicopter rescue standby for immediate evacuation if medically necessary.
What are the Benefits of Booking with a Licensed Local Operator?
Booking directly with a Kathmandu-based licensed operator ensures direct fair wages for your Sherpa guides and porters, transparent local pricing without middleman commissions, 24/7 real-time ground support during flight delays (such as Lukla weather disruptions), and authentic deep cultural immersion in Sherpa and Tamang villages.
What Travel & Medical Insurance Coverage Do I Need?
Your travel insurance policy must explicitly cover high-altitude mountain trekking up to 5,500 meters (18,000 ft) and emergency helicopter evacuation. We recommend providers like World Nomads, Global Rescue, or Allianz.
When is the Best Season for Trekking in Nepal?
Autumn (September to November) offers crisp crystal-clear mountain views and pleasant temperatures, making it peak season. Spring (March to May) features blooming rhododendron forests, warmer weather, and optimal climbing conditions.
How Fit Do I Need to Be for Everest Base Camp or Annapurna?
You do not need to be an elite athlete, but moderate cardiovascular fitness is essential. We recommend 2-3 months of pre-trip conditioning including stair climbing, cardio exercises, and weekend day hikes carrying a 5kg pack.
What is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and How is it Prevented?
AMS is caused by reduced atmospheric oxygen at high elevations above 2,500m. Prevention involves slow gradual ascent, drinking 3-4 liters of water daily, avoiding alcohol, taking acclimatization days, and carrying Diamox (acetazolamide) after consulting your physician.
Can I Customize My Departure Dates and Itinerary?
Absolutely! Private tailor-made trips offer 100% flexibility. You choose your arrival date in Kathmandu, adjust daily walking hours, select luxury lodge upgrades, or add helicopter return options. Click 'Begin Your Journey' to request your custom quote.
