From the moment I reached out to them with my inquiries, they were incredibly responsive and helpful in addressing all of my concerns.
The team at Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team went above and beyond in helping me organize every aspect of my trip. They provided me with detailed information about the trek, including the itinerary, necessary permits, and equipment required. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in ensuring that I was well-prepared for the journey ahead.
During the trek itself, I was impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of the Sherpa guides. They were not only experienced and skilled in navigating the challenging terrain, but they also shared fascinating insights about the local culture and surroundings. Their presence instilled a sense of comfort and security throughout the trek.
The Annapurna Circuit itself was an incredible experience. The breathtaking landscapes, from lush valleys to towering peaks, left me in awe at every turn. The diversity of the trek, with its varying terrains and charming villages, made each day a unique adventure. The accommodations and meals arranged by Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team were of excellent quality, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout the journey.
Overall, my Annapurna Circuit Trek organized by Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team was a truly unforgettable experience. Their responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail played a significant role in making this trip a success. I highly recommend their services to anyone considering embarking on a trek in the beautiful Himalayas.

In short, it was fantastic. Why bother and search elsewhere? You can trust them.
I think Sherpa Expedition works this way. You'll be in contact with Ram, which will answer all your questions through email, TourRadar, and WhatsApp... within literally 2 minutes. Amazing knowing they took care of 1,000 trekkers last year, and have departure(s) every day... I guess they work with 30+ guides. Each of them is well-trained and helpful.
Once you get to Katmandu, you can easily meet the team. Ram came with me to buy the gears I didn't have yet, in a special place where you won't find tourists, so fair price for the pieces of equipment (pair of pants + bottle + gloves + hat for less than 20 euros). They lent me the major equipments such as a jacket and sleeping bag (their own brand, high quality).
You'll stay at a hotel next to the office (20 seconds away ...) and someone will pick you up to drive you to the airport (Flight: Katmandu --> Lukla). Your guide will then pick you up, and you'll start your journey !!
Everyday are mostly the same. You start with a breakfast (you can choose everything you want from the menu (1 item), you need to pay for the drinks and additional items), then walk for few hours till the lunch. Either you're done for the day or continue. Then you have dinner and a good sleep.
I've been lucky since no one booked the same day as me, so I was alone with the guide. I will speak for Rinji. He was fantastic. 10 days is short, so you have to maintain the pace, but he was helpful, explaining everything, we had good laugh, and he knows everyone from the tea houses owners, other guides, etc. I felt I was in safe hands.
The places to eat and sleep were really good too. The food was nice, the rooms comfortable, etc.
In February, it's quite peaceful, and you don't have many other trekkers. That's what I was looking for, peace and calm along the way.
I cannot describe my experience. You need to do it to understand, how this amazing nature can make you smile and wonder why we are living in the middle of buildings and roads ...
What's astonishing, was that on the last day and that's why I think Sherpa Expedition is offering the best service for this trip (hundreds of other agencies are availble, and you could find them online or directly in Katmandu). I had to fly from Lukla to Katmandu. The weather was not good, so my flight got canceled. However, Ram did everything to find me a place in a helicopter for free. It was a 1-hour trip, that costs several hundred USD. I think I've been lucky and it doesn't happen to everyone, but I can tell you that it was one of the best experiences of my life. To explain to you how awesome was Rinji, despite some personal obligations he waited that another guide could take care of me before leaving ... special thanks to Raju.
I hope this comment would be helpful. Waste your time to compare, or book it and save time for other things, such as prepare your trip ;)

So my thoughts about Sherpa Expedition and Trekking: A very good company with good intention, but there were some aspects that I wish they improved. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking handled everything. No worries. Very professional. The guide was great also the porters were very helpful. I would recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team!

Coming back down from base camp I was feeling slower than expected so we added an extra day to my trek. I recommend future trekkers to take extra time going down if you're like me and want to take it easy and see a lot, instead of rush (the itinerary for coming back from base camp doubles the distance some days, which I understand some people need in order to finish their trip in a timely manner). Just make sure there is communication between the guide and porter so if you need to shorten a day, that you have your things too. My guide (Furinji) was excellent, full of information and good advice for helping with acclimation. I highly recommend him as your guide! The acclimation hikes were very helpful on the way up. One other thing, though, it was suggested that I bring a 40L day pack but I think 30L would have been fine since I had a porter. I would definitely do this trek again!

Unfortunately I fell sick on day 7 of the trek and had to take a helicopter evacuation back down. Ram handled the situation very quickly and professionally and I felt I was in good hands throughout the whole trip. Our guide Rinji knew every step of EBC and was entertaining/informative, would recommend asking for him if going with Sherpa Expedition.
