Fully licensed and a qualified mountain guide, Isu Chandra has led and operated treks and climbs for over 20 years. Born in the foothills of Mera Peak, SE of Everest, he grew up aspiring to climb all over the Himalayas, and now expanding to the Pamirs in Central Asia. His specialty is private groups or 1:1 expeditions, avoiding the costs of a larger organization, with the flexibility of small teams.

Expeditions: Mt. Everest (24 & '25), Peak Lenin (Kazakhstan, '23, '24 & '25), Himlung Himal, Baruntse ... (numerous over the years).
Trekking peaks:  Mera and Lobuche (both 10+), Imja tse (Island pk, 30+), Pisang, Saribung, Chulu East and West, and many more.

"We first trekked with Isu in the Kanchenjunga region, 20 years ago. A few treks later, it was time for Isu's son to lead us, when our son came for his first trek. If you are looking for a private team for your family, whether climbing or trekking, we can absolutely recommend Isu and his crew! Feel free to ask him for our contact information, if you want to speak to us directly."

"I recently used Isu Chandra for a 15 day Mera peak summit trek. Isu’s knowledge of the area including the tea houses was first class. I was particularly impressed with how Isu quickly assessed your strengths and weaknesses and tailored the trekking pace to suit. Isu is an excellent communicator, keeping you abreast of the itinerary, going over the upcoming profile and very personable with any apprehensions you may have and helping you feel at ease. I would definitely recommend Isu to others looking for a guide."
