    Our experience of the short Annapurna Circuit Trek with the Sherpa Expedition Team was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we began our journey, the team went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the trek. The Sherpa Expedition Team displayed exceptional professionalism and expertise, making every step of the trek a seamless and enjoyable experience. They were well-prepared and knowledgeable about the trail, ensuring that we had the necessary equipment and information to tackle the challenges that came our way. The highlight of the trek was undoubtedly the breathtaking Himalayan vistas and the beauty of nature in Nepal. The majestic mountains, lush valleys, and serene landscapes left us in awe of the natural wonders that surrounded us. It was a humbling and awe-inspiring experience that reminded us of the immense beauty this world has to offer. Additionally, spending time in Pokhara added another layer of enjoyment to our trip. The city's tranquil lakes, stunning views, and vibrant culture provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and exploration. It was a great opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and indulge in the beauty of Nepal beyond the trek. We highly recommend the Sherpa Expedition Team for an unforgettable adventure in Nepal. Their commitment to safety, their expertise in the region, and the chance to witness the beauty of the Himalayas make them an excellent choice for any trekking experience. Prepare for an incredible journey filled with breathtaking landscapes, warm hospitality, and memories that will last a lifetime.

    Our recent Annapurna Circuit Trek with Sherpa Expeditions was nothing short of extraordinary! We had the privilege of being guided by two amazing individuals, Dawa and Dorje, who made our experience truly unforgettable. Dawa's knowledge of the trail and his ability to adapt to different situations were remarkable. He provided valuable insights into the local culture, shared interesting stories, and ensured our safety every step of the way. Dorje, our porter, was an absolute rockstar, tirelessly carrying our belongings and always wearing a warm smile on his face. Sherpa Expeditions as a company went above and beyond to make our journey seamless and enjoyable. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and well-planned itinerary left no room for disappointment. From comfortable accommodations to delicious meals, everything was taken care of. We cannot thank Sherpa Expeditions, Dawa, and Dorje enough for the incredible adventure we had. If you're looking for a life-changing trekking experience, we highly recommend booking with Sherpa Expeditions. You'll be in the hands of the best guides and a company that truly cares about their clients. Book a trip with them, and you'll create memories that will last a lifetime!

They were not only experienced and skilled in navigating the challenging terrain, but they also shared fascinating insights about the local culture and surroundings.

    Our family had an extraordinary experience on this journey! Our guide, Nima, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort (as much as one can be comfortable on a mountain) and happiness! The entire team was incredibly accommodating, the scenery was breathtaking, and the trek was truly worth it. Nima was a tremendous help throughout the trip. He willingly carried some of our bags when we were too exhausted, and even provided me with medicine when I fell ill. Without Nima, our porters Kalu and Gokarna, and the entire Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team, we would not have been able to reach base camp. We are sincerely grateful for their assistance and support!

    Very Best Trekking Company in Nepal! Everything was perfect. the trip was organized from A-Z, we had to care only about our goals to complete Annapurna round trek everything else was perfectly set up. we met nice people at the company, they were always ready to help, whatever we needed, and they were always there (or at the end of the phone line) when we had a question. I will surely contact them on my next Himalayan trip.

    Annapurna circuit trek is a fantastic trek with a fantastic guide from sherpa Expedition and Trekking. The circuit is really beautiful although it was a bit challenging. Our guide and porter helped us every moment! There were tea houses to stay in during the trekking journey. I highly recommend this trek and will definitely use Sherpa Expedition and Trekking.

    Pretty good experience, pick up was on expected time. Food was great. Book the complete package, else you may end up paying more on spot. Price difference would be around 500-1000 bahts. Seawalking/parasailing is highly recommended.

    Prayoon was very reliable for our time in Bangkok. A very sweet man who was always very attentive and careful with our daily plan. He managed to compact all of the activities we wanted into a solo day! I would recommend him without any hesitation.

    Asked on May 15th, 2025

    I am looking at joining circuit on the 10th of July. I've never done this before, but I am ready to explore. Quick question, will the booking only be complete once the group is fully booked? I want to be part of a group because I'll be doing it on my own.
