About Us

Namaste! I, Namkha Gelzen Sherpa and all team members extend our warmest welcome to you from the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal!!

It is with great pleasure that I can introduce you to the treks and trails that I have known my entire life. I have successfully guided clients for the past 15 years. At Region Treks we provide a level of service that assures your trek or expedition through Nepal is full of discovery, enjoyment and adventure. We take care of all the details so you can enjoy the best of what our country has to offer. In addition to providing exemplary service, we pride ourselves on our competitive value for money pricing.

Region Treks has the wealth of knowledge and experience to provide you with an unforgettable experience in the Himalayas. Our experienced professionally trained Sherpa guides and cooks have an intimate knowledge of Nepal and take great pride in sharing it with our clients.

A little bit about myself:
From an early age I have been trekking and adventure travelling in the Everest Region of Nepal (Chaurikharka 2, Solukhumbu). My father, Ang Kazi Sherpa, was a trekking guide for over 25 years and my mother is the owner of Buddha Lodge in Chaurikharka, which is an easy walk from Lukla. At the age of 18, I started as an assistant guide during my school vacation. Having years of experience guiding clients from all over the world has allowed me to improve my English and German language skills. I also trained as a monk for 5 years in the Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu.
In 2005 I became a Government Licensed guide and in 2006 began working as a professional English and German speaking guide.
For the past 10 years I have worked in Europe (during both the summer and winter seasons) in Alpine Huts:

Thank you for visiting our site, and we look forward to our travels together!
