Awesome service for a decent price with great communication, they do all the hard work for you so you can enjoy the trek. This is my second trekking experience with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking from initial booking to drop off after the hike has been excellent. They are patient, caring and friendly. We hope to hike with them again if ever that is happening in near future and I'd have no hesitation recommending them.
