“Three weeks of trekking through the beautiful villages of the Everest region, connecting with locals, eating healthy meals and testing our physical limits has refreshed my spirit and given me the strength to face impending fatherhood with a full heart and clear head! Tanner & Kolena at Travel Life Adventures delivered on all of their promises and our guide, Karma Sherpa, has an amazing team of family and employees that made our stay and our summit push truly unforgettable. We learned basic Sherpa phrases, ran across other trekkers and mountaineers from Europe, America, Australia and shared meals with our team of guides and porters. I can’t think of a better way to inject money into a visually stunning but economically struggling Country. I felt so comfortable with Karma’s vast climbing knowledge and wouldn’t have made it to the summit of Island Peak without his care, support and enthusiasm. Karma’s commitment to supporting his community and employees is inspiring and I look forward to sending more resources to help bring electricity and school books to the village of Sibuje. My wife and I plan to bring our little boy to visit Karma and his family in Nepal with Travel Life Adventures as soon as his little feet can carry him down the trails!”

Kolena and Tanner did exceptional job preparing me for the seven day trek to Sunder Peak in Nepal. They care a lot for their clients and partners and it shows. I’m grateful for the guidance and smooth communication they provided, including a thorough itinerary and a detailed, well-thought-out Nepal prep package complete with suggested trekking gear, reading, tips on how to be a conscious traveler in Nepal. Pre-trip, they checked in and inspired me to think deeply about my goals for this experience. The experience was unforgettable. It was truly an honor trekking with community leader Karma Sherpa and Teju. I felt I was in great hands every step of the way. Thank you TLA!

This is definitely one of the best trips that I have been on. Not only did I get to trek through monkey-filled jungles, lush farmland, and up steep mountainsides to get amazing views of Nepal’s misty valleys and snowy peaks, I also got to experience the local culture. We visited monasteries and had the opportunity to stay in a traditional Sherpa house. We were served traditional Sherpa food and had home-churned butter tea, which was a bit rich for me, but it was fun to see it being made. Our guide, Karma’s passion and drive for his people are really inspiring and it made me feel good that my trip was helping to fund these projects. This trip opened my eyes to how responsible and sustainable tourism can greatly impact the local economy and that it’s important to choose a company that supports these values. I highly recommend Travel Life Adventures to plan your next trip! They have close connections to the local guides and will make sure your money goes to support local projects. And of course they will make sure you will have a memorable adventure!
