Chairman
Namaste! I am Lakpa Geljen Sherpa, a professional mountaineer, 7-time Everest summiteer, and the Founder of Himalayan Karma Treks.

My experience in extreme altitude environments, expedition leadership, mountain safety, and Himalayan guiding has allowed me to support climbers with confidence, dedication, and professionalism.
One of the proudest moments of my journey came in 2006 and 2007, when I successfully guided the first Filipino Everest summiteers, Leo Oracion and Erwin “Pastor” Emata, to the summit of Mount Everest. This historic achievement became an important milestone in mountaineering history and reflected my commitment to helping climbers achieve extraordinary goals.
After years of professional climbing and expedition leadership, I founded Himalayan Karma Treks with a vision to provide safe, authentic, and unforgettable trekking and mountaineering experiences in Nepal.

Nepal is home to some of the world's most spectacular mountain landscapes, making it a dream destination for trekkers and adventure lovers. Among its many trekking routes, Mardi Himal Trekking and Everest Base Camp Trekking stand out as unforgettable Himalayan experiences.
With Himalayan Karma Treks, travelers can explore these iconic trails while enjoying carefully planned itineraries, experienced guidance, and authentic mountain hospitality. But what truly sets us apart? We go with you—every step of the way—and we manage any problems flexibly and calmly as they arise.
The Mardi Himal Trek is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a relatively short yet rewarding Himalayan adventure. Located in the Annapurna region, the trail passes through peaceful forests, traditional villages, alpine meadows, and dramatic mountain landscapes.
One of the highlights of the trek is the spectacular view of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. As the trail climbs toward Mardi Himal Base Camp, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic, offering excellent opportunities for photography and quiet moments surrounded by nature.
Compared with some of Nepal's longer high-altitude treks, Mardi Himal can be a more accessible option while still providing an authentic Himalayan experience.
Short and Sweet: Perfect for travelers with 7–10 days.
Accessible: No extreme altitude, making it ideal for less experienced trekkers.
Peaceful: Fewer crowds than Everest routes.
Photogenic: Every turn offers a postcard-worthy view.

For trekkers seeking an iconic Himalayan journey, the Everest Base Camp Trek offers an extraordinary adventure through the Khumbu region. The route takes travelers through renowned Sherpa communities, suspension bridges, Buddhist monasteries, and rugged mountain valleys.
The journey typically includes memorable stops such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorak Shep, before reaching Everest Base Camp. Along the way, trekkers can admire spectacular peaks including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.
Beyond the scenery, the Everest Base Camp experience is also a cultural journey. Meeting local communities and experiencing Himalayan traditions adds depth to the adventure.
Iconic: Stand at the foot of the world's highest mountain.
Cultural: Experience Sherpa hospitality and Buddhist traditions.
Epic: A true bucket-list achievement.
Life-Changing: Push your limits and discover what you're capable of.

When you trek with Himalayan Karma Treks, you aren't just getting a map and a porter. You're getting a partner who is right there beside you on the trail.
Here's what that looks like:
We Go With You: Our team doesn't just point you toward the trail and wait at the end. We accompany you throughout the journey—sharing stories, watching for signs of altitude sickness, and making sure you're comfortable, confident, and cared for.
Flexible Management in Real Time: Mountains don't follow scripts. Weather shifts. Bodies tire. Plans change. When problems occur, we adapt quickly and calmly—adjusting routes, pacing, or logistics on the spot so your experience stays safe and enjoyable.
Experienced, Local Guides: Born in the mountains, trained in safety. They know the trails because they grew up on them.
Carefully Planned Itineraries: Proper acclimatization days built in. We prioritize your health over speed.
Authentic Hospitality: We connect you with local communities, Sherpa culture, and the real Nepal—not just the tourist version.
Responsible Trekking: We are committed to leaving the mountains better than we found them.
Whether you choose the peaceful trails of Mardi Himal or the legendary route to Everest Base Camp, preparation and responsible trekking are essential. Proper acclimatization, suitable equipment, experienced guides, and thoughtful planning can make your journey safer and more enjoyable.
Himalayan Karma Treks is committed to helping travelers experience Nepal's mountains with well-organized trekking programs and genuine Himalayan hospitality. From scenic trails to unforgettable mountain views, your Nepal adventure can become a story worth remembering.
We accompany you throughout the trek—not just guide from a distance.
We manage problems flexibly—adapting plans in real time when needed.
We prioritize your safety and experience—always.
Not at all. Mardi Himal is specifically designed as a more accessible alternative to high-altitude expeditions. For Everest Base Camp, our itineraries include mandatory acclimatization days, and our guides are trained to monitor your health every step of the way.
That's exactly why we go with you. Unexpected things happen in the mountains—weather turns, altitude affects people differently, or a trail becomes impassable. With Himalayan Karma Treks, you're never left to figure it out alone. Our team is right there with you, and we have the experience and flexibility to change plans on the fly—whether that means slowing the pace, rerouting, or arranging alternative accommodation.
Mardi Himal: 7–10 days
Everest Base Camp: 12–14 days
Both fit comfortably into a standard vacation window.
Choose Mardi Himal if you want a shorter, more accessible trek with stunning views and fewer crowds.
Choose Everest Base Camp if you're ready for the ultimate bucket-list adventure and want to stand at the foot of the world's highest mountain.
You've pinned the photos. You've read the blogs. You've told yourself "someday."
Someday is a dangerous word.
The Himalayas are waiting. The trails are ready. The only thing missing is you.
Choose your trail. Prepare for adventure. Discover the Himalayas with Himalayan Karma Treks.
