We Take Real People To Amazing Places!
We at HHT love to travel, but now is not the time! Health officials say that the fastest way to return to normalcy is to stop coming in contact with others. That includes ceasing travel. Check our social media outlets such as Facebook and Instagram for updates and remember once things get better #TravelAwaits.


 | Since 1988, Himalayan High Treks has provided treks and tours for independent travelers and small groups wishing to explore the Himalayan world and its rich culture. We have an intimate, first-hand knowledge of the majestic Himalayan region — India (Ladakh, Sikkim, Garhwal, Himachal Pradesh etc.) Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet and Southeast Asia (Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia (Bali etc.), Laos, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam).
We offer original itineraries, experienced guidance and logistics for pilgrimages as well as independent trekking and touring — from easy day hikes and comfortable hotels, to strenuous, multi-day treks camping at high altitudes. We produce complete trek and tour packages as well as create independent custom itineraries based on your needs. |
We helped Jennifer & family on their two week adventure in northern India. They crossed four passes over 16,000 feet and summited 20,187 foot Stok Kangri... and they are sharing it with you! Check out their fantastic trip report and great memories. Never heard of Ladakh? Maybe it's time to find out more! |  |

2015 Himalayan Earthquake • Nepal Recovery Update |
 |

 | • Himalayan High Treks Nepal relief donation program offered direct aid to our staff, schools and damaged villages after the 2015 earthquakes. Many clients and friends of HHT supported and contributed to our Nepal Relief Fund, raising over $25,000 in donations! Your support was transferred directly into the local community to provide emergency shelters, temporary classrooms and trekking gear to many who lost their homes in some of the most remote terrain on Earth. Our fund is now closed but we thank you for your support.
• We have distributed aid to small, isolated villages and people that other organizations never reached. At first, we focused on providing temporary shelters and distributed hundreds of tarps and tents. One early achievement was to create a temporary school in remote Dhikure Village, at 9,000 feet. The school was made from five, extra tall, 10' x 10' dinning tents and tarps. Later, we were able to fund the reconstruction of Lumsa Gompa which now serves as a community center as well as a Buddhist temple. And we continue to support tourism recovery.
• HHTs first transfer of donated funds reached Nepal on May 4, 2015, less than 10 days after the initial earthquake. We are grateful that our staff is safe, though everyone has suffered property damage and loss of wages due to canceled treks. HHT was able to help put them to work helping others in greater need. A slow recovery continues, thanks to your generosity! Our fund provided direct community support to those in need and we are so grateful to each of you for helping make our humble effort possible. Thank you! |
