Why Trek with Us

Why Choose the Mustang Trek with Alpine Ascents?

Experience

Alpine Ascents guides are revered as mountaineers, instructors and cultural enthusiasts. Climbing and trekking high peaks in the Himalayas fully encompass their expertise. Their passion and knowledge of Nepal is contagious, and will add to the already profound richness of your expedition. We are confident that our expertise in this region is unsurpassed. We have been guiding in Nepal during the past two decades and have consistently run expeditions each year. Our familiarity with the region, combined with our expertise and knowledge around the world, lend a depth to every expedition that we feel is unrivaled in the guiding community.

Our Guiding Team

Part of Alpine Ascents’ success is based on our small and select group of experienced guides. Alpine Ascents is fortunate to have close friends and an expert staff in Nepal. Note: While guides are subject to change, your guides will be Himalayan veterans. This is what separates this expedition from others – your opportunity to climb with some of the foremost climbers from the United States and Nepal.

Gear Department

Alpine Ascents has a full gear department ready to assist with your climbing questions and preparations. We have a full-time gear staff and a retail store. All Alpine Ascents climbers receive a discount on each purchase in our gear store.

Thanks so much to all of you at AAI for making my dream of making the Seven Summits come true, I could not have accomplished this feat without the support of the entire team especially the guides and Sherpas.
