Surya Tamang

Trekking Guide - Nepal

Surya Tamang, a great guide trekking guide hailing from the Nuwakot district was born in 1994. He started his career in the tourism industry as an assistant guide at the early age of 16. It's interesting that Surya obtained his official trekking guide license at just 19 years old. His father who was a trekking guide for 39 years helped him hone his skill for his profession. And now Surya Tamang is one of the finest guides we have on our team who has successfully led hundreds of trekking groups in the popular trekking routes of Nepal. His major achievements include trekking over 50 times in the Manaslu region, Annapurna region, Langtang region and not to mention Everest region. It would be unfair not to mention his successful treks to remote and lesser-known treks like Rupina La trek, Ganesh Himal trek, Nar Phu Valley trek, Kanchenjunga Trek, and Dhaulagiri Round. He is well-recognized among the trekking guides in the tourism industry of Nepal.

In a career spanning more than decades, Surya has established himself as a highly experienced guide. He is also known for his determination and friendly demeanor. We know very few guides who could match his enthusiasm and grit. Every client who has been to the mountains with him has consistently praised his work and enthusiasm. He is a certified trekking guide from the Government of Nepal. He successfully completed English Language Course and Basic Rock & Ice Climbing & Mountaineering’ from Nepal Mountaineering Association. Furthermore, he has also completed several significant training including First Aid Training, Photography Training, and Skill Development Training program.

Manaslu and Tsum Valley trek and Poon Hill trek
We recently attempted the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum valley trek and the PoonHill trek with Third Rock Adventures, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. The entire experience was exceptionally smooth, professional, and well-organised. Our guide Surya was amazing — cheerful, competent, and always attentive to everyone’s needs. His positive energy and deep knowledge made every day enjoyable. He struck the perfect balance of keeping us safe, informed, and motivated, while also creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We experienced adverse weather on the Manaslu circuit, but Third Rock handled it brilliantly. They calmly reorganised plans, communicated clearly, and made sure we were always safe and comfortable. Their adaptability and professionalism were genuinely impressive. A huge thank-you as well to Naba and his team, who are very astute and experienced operators but also incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. Their support — before, during, and after the trek — showed real dedication to customer care. The porters were phenomenal. They worked tirelessly with kindness and care, always making sure we were looked after. Their strength and good spirits were inspiring. Third Rock Adventures is the company I would recommend if you’re considering trekking in Nepal. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Special times on the Manaslu And Tsum Valley Circuit
We recently completed the Manaslu Circuit with Third Rock Adventures, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Manaslu Tsum circuit with Ghandruk & Poon Hill
We chose Third Rock on recommendation and because we were able to collaborate with Naba to add to the itinery to suit our needs. The Manaslu and Tsum were a great introduction to the nepalese landscape, and our guide Surya gave us some interesting background to the cultural and religious history of the valleys. Despite the cyclone we were able to trek through the snow to Mo Gompa, our furthest point in the Tsum. Unfortunately track damage, bad weather and closure in the Manaslu meant that we came out and were unable to complete the circuit. The team of Surya, Sagar, Ram and Lal were attentive, serious and looked after our wellbeing, keeping our spirits high despite the challenges we faced. We already plan to return to complete the circuit another time. Third Rock excelled themselves, while we were trekking the management team were organising a trek to Ghandruk and Poon Hill. I enjoyed the new area, the geology is quite different and the views at daybreak on Poon Hill are breathtaking. I would recommend Third Rock for their collaboration with clients, their excellent trekking teams and their team in Kathmandu who are ready to make changes if necessary.
I like itinerary,

We chose the itinery and Third Rock collabrated to make changes to our satisfaction.
The cultural immersion in the Tsum Valley was unexpected and unforgetable.
Take time on the tracks to absorb the country and the culture.

Great ABC Trek
Old friends, family and new friends did the ABC with the incomparable Surya as guide in March 2015. Epic trek, great organisation, and extremely happy trekkers
Good Value,I like itinerary,Great reviews
Yes
Had previously done the Everest Region so this was the logical next choice.
At ABC the weather cooperated and showed us the magnificent Annapurna peaks. The scale is unimaginable!
Go with 3rd Rock. I have complete faith in the team. Naba is responsive, engaging, and a very able leader. Surya started as our guide and became our friend. He was always ahead of the game, made sure we were prepared and ready, and was very informative about the region as well as leading our trek. Ram, Ram & Gopal were our wonderful porters - couldn’t have done it without them! For other travellers - the packing list provided by 3rd Rock is excellent. Everything you need & nothing you don’t!

Fantastic trekking experience
I completed the 12-day Manaslu circuit trek with Third Rock Adventures. The trek was a challenging but fantastic experience to share with my father, who I trekked the Annapurna Circuit with several years ago. Our guide Surya greatly added to our experience, sharing fascinating insights into the local culture that we would not have discovered through reading guidebooks. He, along with our brilliant porter Saga, made sure that we had the best accommodation and food, and were well looked after. Thanks to the Third Rock Adventures team for arranging such a memorable experience. I look forward to coming back to Nepal in the future.

I wanted to celebrate ending my doctorate with my father who I have trekked with in Nepal before. What a memorable experience we had : )
There were different highlights every day. One standout was going past a school as the children were let out and them giving me marigold flowers until my pockets and hands were full!
The trek may be challenging at times but is so rewarding.

Another great trekking experience with 3rd Rock!
Manaslu Circuit via Barpak and Laprak was my second trek with 3rd Rock this year and it certainly exceeded my already high expectations. From Naba's prompt and helpful correspondence to our wonderful guide Surya and Sagar our exceptional porter this was the complete Himalayan trekking experience. Accompanied by my daughter who had trekked Annapurna with me 13 years ago we found Manaslu to be a spectacular trek particularly as we came closer to the Tibetan border where by chance we encountered a week long festival which only occurs once every three years. Surya anticipated all of our needs and always ensured we were well fed and in comfortable accommodation but most of all he again proved to be delightful company and a fund of local knowledge. We looked forward to his stories about Buddhism, Tibetan customs and folklore and after two wonderful weeks we were sad to say goodbye.

Super
Trekking from Chame to Muktinath via Thorong La pass then from Tatopani to ABC. Two weeks. Our guide, Surya was the BEST! He was warm and friendly, attending to all of our needs and he shared so much of his extensive knowledge of Buddhism and Hinduism as well as Himalayan culture. Our porter, Sanker, was also a super guy to travel with. I would recommend both parts of this trip as the views and climates are remarkable and different on either side of the Annapurna Range. The intinerary was perfect for us...slow enough to acclimatize and fast enough to be challenging. Surya managed to get us rooms with the best views and he was good at arranging our meals at the teahouses...right on schedule. The drivers he arranged were also top notch, with better vehicles and not crowded seating.
