Kiran Tamang (Darchog Adventures) - An outdoor adventure guide and company based in Nepal specializing in remote treks, wilderness camping and 6000m peaks expedition. I am Kiran Tamang, a freelance trekking guide and outdoor instructor based in Kathmandu - Nepal, eager and honored to share this beautiful landscape, diverse culture and grandeur of the Himalayas with you. Unbound by the traditional

rigidness of the travel and trek agencies, our journey begins by understanding your interests and preferences.

Merge your trek with an extended side tour ? Let's create the journey on how you see it fit for yourself and your friends. My role would be to guide you and advise you to make the most out of our adventure explorations whilst keeping a keen eye for your safety and well being. Specialising in the remote wilderness treks, camping treks and 6000m peak expeditions, I hope to create exciting and positive memories with you.

I often get asked, “Doesn’t it get boring after a while?”

The only honest answer is No.

Every mountains carve a different story. Every sunrise arrives with a color I haven’t seen before. I haven’t witnessed all the corners of this world where nature sings in her own rhythm, but what I do know is I have never grown tired of being mesmerized by her.

For me, each step feels like a return home. Each breath feels sacred. There is something ethereal about standing among vast landscapes that ask nothing of you except your presence.

The mountains have a strange way of making me feel both insignificant and complete at the same time. Close to nothingness, yet deeply content. Far from everything, yet closer than ever to myself.

And perhaps that feeling, that quiet awe, that sense of belonging is the closest thing to utopia I have ever known.

So no, it never gets boring.

Annapurna Base Camp, a cult classic of the Himalayas is one of the most accessible yet amazingly beautiful trek that Nepal has to offer. Even doing this at shoulder season, there were significant number of trekkers and it was definitely not a quiet experience. The pre-monsoon rain added to the drama and it was a sight to see the giant amidst the lush landscape. It is by no means an easy trek as marketed and requires fair bit of preparation both physically and mentally. Hope you enjoy this quaint clips that highlights the scenery and landscape from both Machapuchre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp.

When it comes to altitude, I am not the one making rules.

Trying to power through a high altitude trek often always leads to severe exhaustion, prolonged fatigue and in worst cases - higher risks of developing severe AMS. Pacing might be boring but it will help to keep your heart rate stable, manage physical exhaustion and safe oxygen levels. In my years of guiding through the Himalayas, I have had the fortune of leading the trekkers from various backgrounds of life - and one of the hardest thing to implement is the word - ‘Bistari’ ‘Bistari’, which means Slowly, slowly.

I have observed most of the runners (an affectionate term that I use for trekkers who loves to blitz through the trail) is that, they often become the first victim of AMS while the slow and steady have minimal to no issues in managing altitude. While I can rant deeper into the possible Why’s and How’s of that, for now just remember to take it slow and one step at a time.
