SMOOTH JOURNEY

With the friendly guides, my journey was a fun one. The Manaslu trek was beautiful. If you're looking for a nice trek like Annapurna but quitter, this is a great trek!

A BEAUTIFUL TREAT TO GIVE ONESELF

09-Apr-2019

I successfully completed the trek with my girlfriend without any problems. The guide and porter ensured that we are fine all the time. I did have a few moments of struggle and my guide Furungi was always there to encourage and check up. Thank you for truly wonderful experience.

Adrian

Best Experience

21-Oct-2019

The Manaslu circuit trek was spectacular and I would highly recommend doing this tour to anyone, with a Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team. The scenery was great, the hiking was interesting, it was not too crowded and the cultural exposure was very nice. I had very great experience with the guide provided to me through Sherpa Expedition and Trekking, Dawa. The guide was professional and had a awesome attitude which made spending 2+ weeks alone with him was a real fun.

Owen

INCREDIBLE TRIP WITH LAKPA

08-Oct-2019

My friend and I ended up with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team and our guide, Lakpa, for our first Himalayan trek (first significant high height trek). Sherpa Team were consummate experts - no messing us about, they did their most extreme to make the trek reasonable, safe, and pleasant all around. Lakpa remains entirely genuine on the path yet helps up quickly once in camp, never beverages, smokes or effectively debilitate his capacities. We'll be back with them for our next trip.

Marshall

Great Views of Mountains

07-Aug-2019

On the top of Larke la Pass we can see the beautiful everlasting view of Annapurna Ranges and many Himalayan ranges. Both Manaslu Circuit trek and Annapurna Circuit trek are fabulous for the views of Himalayas and Mountains. Whole Sherpa Team did an excellent job and we highly recommend!

Perfect trekking experience in Nepal

16-Nov-2019

It is our third time in Nepal.. This time we decided for Manaslu. Manaslu trek was a perfect offer for me and my wife. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking arranged everything, very good and friendly guide, lots of places to see. The trek was excellent. Just imagine a walk in a valley of blooming rhododendron trees! Unbelievable beauty! Guide and Porter were patient and flexible and took care of us very VERY well.

Gisa Candido

GREAT TRIP WITH

08-Aug-2019

We had a great trip. The hike was very beautiful and quiet, since we started the trek at the beginning of March. This was an awesome day since the views were stunning and it was completely quiet. Not many tourists were on the trek which made it perfect. We had a great time with guide Furungi who was always in for jokes and good game of carts. We even helped the only local there to make his lodge snow free for us.

Zachary
