    Trekking to Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek was fantastic and wonderful trek ever I have experienced. Loved the people, Landscape, greenery, paddy fields, and of course the mountains. Sherpa Guide is a great guide- helpful, informative, and friendly. I definitely, recommend and would love to trek again with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking in near future.

    The all-inclusive package deal that provided made the adventure possible. We didn't have to worry about paying for food on our trek up to Dhaulagiri and back to Kathmandu. The fee we paid covered everything (except additional drinks and snacks along the way). Guides were the best and they knew all the mountain peaks, all the best routes, and all the best places to eat and sleep. They made sure that we were safe and sound the entire time in Nepal. Overall, the trip was flawless and working with Sherpa Expedition was a treat.

    We completed the Dhaulagiri trek and everything was well organized by the Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. And questions we had prior to the departure were answered quickly. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made the trek really enjoyable and we were well looked after by him and our porter. Would definitely recommend this trek and company!

    I just finished the trek to Dhaulagiri which was GREAT TREK! We had best Sherpa guide and he was terrific. Excellent knowledge of the area, the Himalayas. The only thing is when you trek in mid-February it is cold, be prepared and pack accordingly. But overall a phenomenal time, the sun was shining every day and none of us got altitude sickness. I would highly recommend, and I look forward to my next adventure.

    It’s my first-time trekking. Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek was a challenge for me. I did it. The company arranged everything well. The tour guide is very helpful and professional. I’ll try another route next time.

    Sherpa Expedition and Trekking did a fantastic job with our trip.We read everything on the website to prepare, and felt well prepared with info. From our arrival in Kathmandu, everything was well coordinated; a ride to the hotel, ..can’t say enough how great that is! Our guide, prepared us for the day to day plans. Meals were well coordinated (food is good!) and tea houses (lodges) were well kept and comfortable (contrary to some you-tube videos we saw). We learned from our guides about the Nepali culture, wildlife, way of life and of course, the incredible mountain peaks we saw on our journey. Breathtaking beauty (and altitude). We met people from all over the world along the way, learned some great new card games as we kept warm together in the evenings in the common rooms. It’s the trip of a lifetime.

    I think this trek was one of my most significant experiences in my life. First, I had warm-hearted people surrounding me. Our guide, with his caring and funny attitude our porters with their perseverance and physical strength and my beautiful trekking companions. I can say that the 6 of us created an attentive, patient company with full of laughter and jokes. Guide was not only cooperative by consulting the possible changes regarding our trekking capabilities, but he also taught us to stay present and not to worry about the upcoming challenges.

    “I can't say enough about what an amazing time my friend and I had trekking through the beautiful Dhaulagiri Base Camp Trek with our guide Pasang Sherpa in May. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and the people we met along the way were equally as lovely. Our guide made sure that we had exactly the experience we imagined when we set out for Nepal. I highly recommend this trek if you have limited time in Nepal, it will not disappoint

    My partner and I had booked a trekking tour through Sherpa Expedition and Trekking which was supposed to start on a certain date, however when we were due to arrive in Kathmandu, there had been a minor place crash in Kathmandu airport which closed it for 4 days. We were worried that we weren't able to make the trip or that our trip would be cut short, but we were ensured that our trip would remain the same when we arrive. Since we were stuck in transit for 4 days we had very limited access to communication, which made us quite worried as emails weren't replied as quickly as we'd hoped. We arrived at the airport at 12 at night to which it took us 2 hours to get our luggage. As we had no real means to communicate that we had arrived, we were worried that we'd have to find our own transport and accommodation for the night. Luckily we found our guide in among st the crowd outside still waiting for us and were taking to our hotel for the night. From then on it was all smooth sailing, the tour guide was great, informative and was helpful when needed. I'd be happy to recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking to anyone planning to do some trekking.
