    "I have recently come all the way back from the Upper Dolpo Trek in Northwestern Nepal. Six passes, remote, excellent landscape. Met some wonderful Nepalese individuals, glad persevering in this unforgiving condition they live. I was very much taken care of by my guide. Extraordinary sans gluten suppers by my cook and kitchen staff and Sherpa consistently served it with a grin. Our rigging was conveyed by donkeys and very much took care of by control. I rate it as a fantastic excursion particularly in case you're searching for a progressively remote and intriguing trek."

    “It was my Third time in Nepal having the Himalayan experience. My wife and I were planning to spend our holiday in Nepal for a long time, and also it was my longtime dream to trek to Himalaya and be in the mountains. We then finally decided to venture for upper Dolpo Trek which later turned into a lifetime experience for us. Having completed this trek successfully with the help of the Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team, we had luck with the weather and everything went as per the plan. Despite the cold weather and physical challenges, we made it with the help of porters and our guide Ram Barakoti We enjoyed every moment in the mountains and would like to thank the entire team of Sherpa Expedition and Trekking for excellently organizing this trip for us. We will definitely be back to Nepal with our children shortly and recommend this trek to everyone!!!”

    During the booking procedure, every one of my messages were addressed promptly, obligingly, and with all the information I required. When I touched base in Kathmandu, I at that point met Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team, and they were useful kept on being my primary contact. The guide was awesome! He went well beyond to deal with each little detail of my trek, and furthermore helped me with things he wouldn't have needed to. I had a sense of security and secure on the Mustang trek realizing that everything about been dealt with. Upper Dolpo trekking is a bold trekking in the remote scene of western Nepal. Strolling along the antiquated salt exchanging course, we go over beautiful Shey-Phoksundo lake, different high passes and glorious mountains. The trek begins from Jhupal and pushes forward through the lavish woodland coming to Phoksundo lake. Going through our days in the region of flawless lakes, we climb through Nagdala La to reach Shey Gompa. We at that point goes through Sela La and Jyanta La to achieve the settlement in lower Dolpo. I had an astounding aide and the best vehicles. We needed to change vehicles on different occasions on account of the streets, and some way or another there was constantly one hanging tight for us - a a great feat of logistics, considering lack of cell phone coverage and remoteness! ! Sherpa Expedition and Trekking is absolutely proficient, 100% honest and reliable, and I exceedingly suggest them for any movement you need to do - from a one day excursion to expanded travel in the Himalayas. Highly Recommended....!!!!

    A few days ago we came back from our unforgettable trip to Upper dolpa. Our trip was organized by Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. We found them through Google search and from the very first email exchange, first with Ram Barakoti and later with Devi, we were convinced that we picked the right company. Their responses were very quick and we were getting all the information we needed to make our itinerary perfect and unique. The whole trip Upper dolpo organized, great guides, perfect Camping tents selections, everything was on time and done with smile. Nothing ever was a problem. The highlight of our trip was Upper dolpo Camping Trekking. Yes, it is pricey but worth every penny. Breathtaking panorama of Himalayan. Again We looking forward to next trip to Kanchenjunga Circuit trek with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking We highly recommended Sherpa Team!
