Safety and altitude

Tamang Heritage Trek reaches 3,165 m, which is moderate altitude. Most people adapt well when they climb slowly, so the pace of the itinerary matters more than fitness alone.

How we pace it

The higher routes include acclimatisation days. Your guide checks every day how you are coping, can add a rest day, and will turn the group around if conditions or anyone's health make it unsafe to go on.

Know the signs

Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness and poor sleep are early signs of altitude sickness: tell your guide and do not go higher. Confusion, breathlessness at rest or unsteady walking are serious: descend at once.

Insurance and rescue

Travel insurance that covers medical treatment, air ambulance and helicopter rescue is a condition of booking. Check that your policy covers trekking up to 4,000 m. If an evacuation is needed, we coordinate it with your insurer.

Our crew

Our guides are licensed and come mostly from the mountain regions. Porters carry no more than 25–30 kg, are insured, and are never sent down alone when they are sick or hurt.

Trekking in Langtang Valley

Would highly recommend Mountain Delights. We had an amazing time trekking in the Langtang Valley. Our guide, Dipak Nepal, did a fantastic job and made everything run smoothly throughout the trek. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Our two porters were also incredible. We would love to go trekking with Mountain Delights again in the future!

Exceptional support and a pleasure to work with

I cannot recommend Mountain Delights Tracks and Expeditions highly enough. When I suddenly needed to change flight tickets and struggled to find accommodation in Kathmandu, Caramal and the team stepped in immediately. Always responsive, always helpful, and always calm and solution-oriented – even in a stressful situation. Their dedication, reliability and genuinely friendly approach made a huge difference for me. It was truly a pleasure to work with them, and I felt supported every step of the way. An outstanding company with people who really care.

Fantastic adventure and Well organized

Me and my husband had a fantastic trekking tour to Everest Base Camp (EBC) from Lukla and back with mountain delight trek. The guide Tilak was very helpfull and kind and full of positive energy and we enjoyed his trekking all the way. Also the porter was very helpfull and kind. We experienced the shepard culture and the shepards are so polite and they have a great hospitality. The Nature is so besutifull and the mountains are amazing. We Saw EBC on a sunny day and I could imagine the trekking to the summit of Everest.
