The most amazing Trek Ever

15-Nov-2019

I had lots of questions leading up to the trek and would email often. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking responded right away, and answered every one of my questions. We met at the airport, made sure I had the correct gear for the trek, provided a fantastic tour of Kathmandu with a professional guide, and checked in with my guide during the trek.

Great Gokyo Ri Trek!

21-Nov-2019

Ram was helping me and my friend to organize our Gokyo Renjola High Pass trek. We ended up not hiring a guide or a porter, but he still gave us plenty of advice and help that we needed to go there safely. Thank you, Ram, for help!

Very professional Team

From the first moment when I arrived in Nepal there was always someone taking care of me. I was picked up at the airport, bus stations and so on. I started a trekking tour from Lukla to the Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Valley including the Renjola Pass.

Wonderful Trek

14-May-2019

What I would really like to emphasize is, that everything went extremely smooth - we noticed a lot of other groups/couples/individuals, that were stuck either on Kathmandu or Lukla airports, due to delays in flights, or flights just not happening at all. But we did not had such an experience.

Jesus

Beautiful Gokyo Lake Trek!

04-Feb-2020

Ram was able to patiently work with us through all of our planning questions and trip organizing. We were able to personalize our trip even up to the last few days before arrival and while on our beautiful trek. Ram has the experience and knowledge to provide personal and flexible plans. Once on the trail, I was assured that Ram, our guide, and our porter definitely had our backs, which made our adventure hassle-free. Thanks to Ram and Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team for a life-changing trip. Looking forward to returning to beautiful Nepal.
