Student Stories

What Our Students Say

Hear from those who have experienced our programs and transformed their relationship with the Himalayas.

"Before Nepal Outdoor Academy, I loved trekking but lacked the confidence to lead. Everything I learned there, especially around risk management and keeping our trails clean, totally changed my perspective. Now I'm a trek leader, focusing on safety and conservation. The academy didn't just teach me; it set me on my career path. Love their approach to outdoor education!"
Prakash Lama

"Super passionate about Nepal's mountains, so getting the right training was crucial. The academy gave me such a deep understanding of mountain geography, our culture, and, most importantly, safety in the Himalayas. The hands-on practice was invaluable. Now I'm a licensed guide, proudly sharing Nepal's beauty while keeping everyone safe."

"Starting out, I had zero climbing experience, but the training at the academy was an awesome experience. The instructors patiently taught us everything, always prioritizing safety. All the practical work really built my confidence. Now I'm actively looking to get into mountaineering in Nepal, feeling really well-prepared for whatever comes next."
