From Everest Base Camp trekkers to Annapurna veterans, our customers trust Zenith Compass for navigation gear that never lets them down.
"The Zenith Summit GPS Pro was flawless on our Everest Base Camp trek. Pre-loaded Nepal maps saved us hours at every trailhead. The team on Paneku Marg even helped configure route waypoints before we left Kathmandu."
"I rented a compass and waterproof map for the Annapurna Circuit and the quality exceeded my expectations. The monsoon waterproof compass held up perfectly through a 4-hour downpour above Thorong La. Renting is brilliant value."
"The Beginner Navigation Workshop was the best preparation for our Langtang Valley trek. Our guide from Zenith Compass spoke both English and Mandarin which made a huge difference for our group. Practical, friendly, and incredibly useful."
"As a solo female hiker doing the Mustang trek, I needed equipment I could trust completely. The Zenith Apex Altimeter and trail GPS gave me total confidence on the route. The rental deal was unbeatable for a two-week trip."
"Our rescue team uses Zenith Compass GPS devices exclusively. When every metre of accuracy counts, there's no room for compromise. Bulk ordering with their team discount programme made equipping our 18-person team affordable."
"I ordered the Khumbu topographic map online from Delhi and it arrived well-packaged and exactly as described. The waterproofing is real — I tested it in a bucket before heading to Nepal and it was perfect. Brilliant shop!"
