Tika Bahadur Tamang

Namaste, I’m Tika Tamang.

I was born and raised in Dolakha, a beautiful mountain district of Nepal where life has always been closely connected to the hills, trails, and Himalayan culture. My journey in trekking began more than 30 years ago when I started working as a porter, carrying supplies and supporting trekking groups across Nepal's mountain regions.

Those early years on the trails taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and understanding the mountains from the ground up. Through dedication and experience, I gradually progressed to become a trekking guide, turning my passion for the Himalayas into a lifelong career. Over the past three decades, I have trekked throughout Nepal and guided travelers across nearly every major trekking region, including Everest, Manaslu, Langtang, Mustang, Dolpo, Kanchenjunga, and many lesser-known routes. While I have extensive experience across the country, my true specialty is the Annapurna Circuit Trek, a route I have completed countless times and know in exceptional detail.

What I enjoy most about guiding is introducing travelers to Nepal's diverse landscapes, cultures, and mountain communities. From high mountain passes and remote villages to local traditions and everyday life in the Himalayas, I believe the best trekking experiences come from connecting with both nature and people. After more than 30 years in the trekking industry, I still feel the same excitement every time I step onto a trail. My goal is to ensure every guest enjoys a safe, memorable, and authentic Himalayan adventure while experiencing the warmth and hospitality that make Nepal so special. I look forward to sharing the mountains of Nepal with you and helping create memories that will last a lifetime.
