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

Sherpa expedition and trekking where a very professional company to do the Manaslu 14 day trek with, our guide Dawa, porters BJ and Bulloram went above and beyond to ensure our safety, show us the best places for views, and contribute in a positive manner to make this a incredible experience. I highly recommend this Nepalese company and will book with them again in the future. Tour radar was easy to book with, and great communication via email.Show more
