Everest Base Camp Tours & Trips

The Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition was a remarkable adventure that surpassed all my expectations. The blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and expert guidance made this trek an experience I will cherish forever. Organizational Excellence: From the initial contact with Sherpa Expedition, it was clear that this was a well-organized operation. Their pre-trek briefing was detailed and informative, covering everything from the physical demands of the trek to the cultural nuances of the region. This level of preparation was crucial for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Guides and Support Team: Our guides, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly Lakpa, were instrumental in making the trek successful. Lakpa’s deep understanding of the terrain, weather conditions, and altitude management was invaluable. He and his team provided constant encouragement and support, ensuring that every member of the group was comfortable and well-informed. Trekking Highlights: The trek itself was a series of unforgettable experiences. Starting from Lukla, we were treated to stunning views of the Himalayas, and each day brought new sights and challenges. The trek took us through charming villages, dense forests, and across high-altitude meadows. The acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche were particularly well-planned, allowing us to adjust to the altitude and explore the local surroundings. Cultural Insights: One of the most enriching aspects of the trek was the opportunity to engage with Sherpa culture. Our guides shared fascinating stories about their traditions, and we had the chance to visit ancient monasteries and witness local customs. These cultural experiences added a meaningful dimension to the trek, making it more than just a physical journey. Teahouses and Cuisine: The teahouses we stayed in were comfortable and provided a welcoming retreat after long days of trekking. The meals, prepared with care and attention, were a highlight of the journey. I particularly enjoyed the variety of dishes, from traditional Nepali meals to international options, all served with a smile. The Base Camp Experience: Arriving at Everest Base Camp was the culmination of the trek and an experience I will never forget. Standing at the foot of the world’s highest peak and taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains was a powerful moment. The sense of achievement and the beauty of the landscape made the entire trek worthwhile. Safety and Comfort: Sherpa Expedition’s commitment to safety was evident throughout the trek. The guides were attentive to our health and well-being, and their proactive approach to acclimatization and altitude sickness ensured that we were well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

We were a family of three taking on the challenge of trekking to Everest Base Camp, and what an unforgettable journey it turned out to be — all thanks to Sherpa Expeditions, our incredible guide Phu Rinji, and our amazing porter Balaram. From day one, Phu Rinji made us feel like we were in the safest hands possible. With his calm presence, deep knowledge of the region, and genuine care, he guided us not just with his experience, but with his heart. As a family, it meant everything to know that someone was looking out for each of us — checking on our health, adjusting the pace when needed, and always encouraging us with kindness and patience. Balaram, our porter, was simply incredible. His strength, humility, and constant smile lit up every stop along the trail. He treated us like family, not clients. What truly touched our hearts was when they surprised us with fresh fruit — not just once, but several times during the trek. In such a remote and rugged environment, having a variety of fresh fruits was a luxury we didn’t expect — and it showed just how thoughtful and caring they both were. As we made our way through high altitudes and changing weather, we always felt safe. Every step was supported. Every concern was heard. They created a space where we could enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the strength of our family bond, without worry. Reaching Everest Base Camp as a family was emotional in itself, but sharing that moment with Phu Rinji and Balaram — who celebrated with us like old friends — made it even more special. Their happiness was sincere, and we’ll never forget that feeling. This wasn’t just a trek — it was a journey of trust, care, and deep connection. We are so grateful for everything they did to make this experience safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. If you are planning to trek as a family — especially to Everest Base Camp — we wholeheartedly recommend Phu Rinji and Balaram. They are not only professionals, they are kind, genuine people who will treat you like their own. Thank you, Phu Rinji and Balaram, from our whole family. You’ve given us memories that will last a lifetime.

The trek was amazing! Because it was just me and one guide, we had some flexibility. 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!
