Guide from Himalayas her pal (6)
I believe the answer is:
sherpa
'guide' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'from himalayas her pal' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SHERPA' is hidden within 'himalayas her pal'.
(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "Mountain dweller" , "Himalayan - phrase (anag)" , "- - Tensing" , "Skilled Tibetan mountaineer" , "High-up employee" .)
