I hope you're well! I've managed to convince 2 friends to hike to EBC in late May and loved the look of your website. Before I chat with them further, I wanted to ask a few questions. FYI, we are 23 year old English/Scottish blokes who are all active, but have little mountaineering experience outside of the UK. 1. Are there any 12 to 13 day treks departing in mid-late May? 2. Would you recommend your company for people our age? 3. How many people are typically in a trekking group? 4. What is the total cost of the trek? 5. What gear do I need to bring, and do you offer any rental options? 6. Since two of us need to book time off work, how likely are delays due to weather, particularly with Lukla flights? 7. Do we need special travel insurance, and if so, what coverage do you recommend?

1. This 12 days trek departing on everyday you can choose any date that's fine. 2. We accept all age people like 10 years to till 70 years if you wanted to join a group same like your we will manage. 3. Normally 6-10 people in a group. 4. The total trip cost usd 1290.00 per person. 5. Down jacket, sleeping bag and walking poles are provided rest of things you can bring with you. 6. Sometimes 1 or 2 days delayed better to have at least 2 reserve days. 7. yes need to have 6000 meters coverage insurance for you best insurance is snow card travel insurance with adventure pack.

I had an absolutely incredible experience on the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with Sherpa Expedition Teams, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a solo female traveler, safety and trust were very important to me, and my guide Kumar (or “Kumi,” as I called him 😊) exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, he made me feel completely safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the journey. My guide was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, he always knew exactly what he was doing, whether it was pacing the trek, adjusting plans when needed, or sharing insights about the local culture and environment. He was not only a guide but also a great companion, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, I was able to fully take in the breathtaking beauty of Nepal, the stunning mountain views, peaceful villages, and unforgettable landscapes. He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. If you’re considering this trek, especially as a solo traveler, I wholeheartedly recommend Sherpa Expedition Teams and if you can, ask for Kumar. He truly made this journey special and unforgettable.Show more
