Yam BAHADUR GURUNG

Welcome to the legendary country of the Himalayas: Nepal!

I introduce myself, I am Yam Bahadur Gurung and I am an independent hiking guide and a tour operator with, as a specialty, adventure tourism for the practice of trekking and mountaineering.

Why choose an independent guide?

Most trekking agencies are not opened to changes and adaptation during a trek. Being independent allows ethical and responsible remuneration of the staff and a total control of finances. So I have complete freedom to re-allocate resources in case of unforeseen and the ability to surround myself with a quality team that is paid properly.

Since 2006 I conducted, in the highest professionalism, a large number of expeditions of different sizes. I have references from many young and older customers from all over the world. I know particularly well the difficulties related to the trek, like the changing route if the path is not practicable, precautions to be taken as soon as one goes up in altitude or all the types of housing for bivouac. I speak fluently English and French.

Feel free to tell me about your trekking project, I will be happy to establish a personalized offer corresponding to your budget. I answer in a very short time if that I am not in trek of course. In this case the delay can be extended by a day or two.

I adapt to all types of requirements and levels of trekking or mountaineering to provide you, for sure, a unique and unforgettable experience. Whether trekking at high altitude or more cultural routes through typical villages and visiting beautiful temples. I have a good knowledge of the more touristic regions as well as more protected areas like Dolpo for example.

I will be happy to share with you my knowledge of the culture of different Nepali villages as well as unique natural environments.

No pass is ​​unreachable, if well prepared, and most of them can be reached by a beginner  if the acclimation period and fatigue are properly managed. Here is a non exhaustive list of passes that I regularly climb with my customers: Throngpass, Chola pass, Ganjalapass, Tilichopass (Mesokundapass), Singlapass, Kalaphatar, Gokyo ri, Tserku ri, Larkyepass, Kanglapass, Rupinalapass, Laurenbinayakpass, Tsumvalley, ABC, Mustang, Dolpo, Helembu, Kanchenjunga, etc.

I propose you a unique service combining cultural discovery and / or sports performance by adapting to your request to offer you an experience forever etched in your memory. Get ready to explore one of the most extraordinary place in the world, where a thousand-year-old culture has evolved among the most majestic and high mountains of this planet.

So, if you plan to visit our beautiful country, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be delighted to accompany you in this adventure! Let me take care of everything from your arrival by plane to your return. I can organize everything: transport, accommodation, special visits in addition to trekking routes and administrative formalities (permit, fees, etc.). I take care of everything so that you only have to concentrate on your trip.

I can advise you for local food and also make you live a unique moment in the village where I grew up: Laprak, a remote village in the Gorkha region (Manaslu). This one, located at the epicenter of the April 25, 2015 earthquake that hit our entire country, was devastated and is being rebuilt.

Since then I employ members of my team (porter, cook, etc) coming as much as possible from my village to help them to rebuild their home and their life.

Looking forward to your questions and requests to visit this amazing country, beautiful and full of spirituality.
