Amazing views, wonderful guides

19-Oct-2019

Just completed an amazing trek with Ram and Dorje Sherpa. We had magnificent views of the Annapurnas from all angles, and a wonderful sunrise at Poon Hill. Our guides were so kind, friendly, and entertaining. They were able to find us the great accommodation in the region, made sure that we had enough water on our trek and were able to communicate clearly about the plans. This is definitely an experience you should have while in Nepal.

Annapurna Panaroma adventure

All sherpa team are friendly and hardworking. From David the Boss, Ram and the porter name Hari and Dorje. We have seen with our own eyes during that day about other guides treating their customers so regimental, some lazy to assist and the last one to reached at most areas and even unfriendly ones. We are so fortunate to choose Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. Good job guys. Keep it up. I'll definitely recommend all my contacts to Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team!

Best Experience

09-Jan-2020

This trek was fantastic! Highly recommend sherpa Expedition and Trekking to travel with. Organisational skills spot on, we as a group didn't want for anything! Our tents were ready for us every night, all I had to worry about was walking & eating! Our team leader Ram Barakoti was a fantastic leader, we felt safe with him & his team.

Kayden

Wonderfully organised trek

04-Sep-2019

We did the 11 day Annapurna Panorama Trekking Package, and we were very pleased with the overall experience. Our guide Ngawang Wangchu sherpa was very sweet, kind and fun to be with and we already miss him! The teahouse accommodation was comfortable, with hot water in the showers and warm beds. We will use the same company and same guide for our next Himalaya trekking in Nepal!

Gabriela

A wonderful Trekking!

07-Feb-2020

A wonderful Trekking and guide experience. Ferengi is professional, friendly, great communication, organized, timely and great attention to detail. The views and locations he took us too were stunning, and we loved the hike. I would definitely want to use Furengi again for future trips in Nepal.

Bryson

Great trek with great guides

15-Aug-2019

We just return back from Annapurna Panorama trek and it was the trip of a lifetime. We’re not regular hikkers and it was a good challenge each day. Our thoughtful guide Ram Barakoti and porter Lakpa sherpa really made it fun and interesting. Some of the terrain can be difficult but they helped us on each step, and made the sometimes basic accommodation much better. Highly recommended!

Richard

Amazing experience with an amazing guide

08-Oct-2019

11 days vacation in Nepal, arranged by Sherpa Expedition and Trekking for our family with two adults and two children in the age of 9 and 12. We took the Poon Hill/ Beautiful Gurung Village/Natural hotspring with one day sight seeing in Pokhara and I would like to highly recommend Sherpa Expedition nand Trekking both for their way of arranging our vacation. Very quick responses and easy to communicate with before the trek. Nice reception and good places to stay during the trip and an amazing guide - Wangchu sherpa - whom took care of our family in a fantastic way.
