    Just Completed the Mardi Himal Trek with Sherpa Expeditions, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Despite it being the monsoon season, the trek was absolutely incredible — lush landscapes, refreshing air, and surprisingly clear views on several days! Our guide, Pemba, was outstanding. He was not only knowledgeable and professional but also kind, patient, and very attentive to our needs throughout the journey. He kept the mood positive, shared stories and insights about the region, and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. One of the biggest surprises was catching some breathtaking views of the mountains, even during this rainy season. On clear days, the scenes were magical — like something out of a dream. The whole experience was well-organized from start to finish, and the support from the Sherpa Expeditions team was top-notch. Thank you to Pemba and the entire team for making this trek so memorable. Highly recommended — rain or shine!

    Trekking the Annapurna Circuit with Sherpa Expeditions was an incredible experience from start to finish. The team was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Our guide ensured our safety and comfort at every step, sharing local insights and keeping spirits high. The logistics were seamless, the accommodations well-chosen, and the service top-notch. From lush valleys to the majestic Thorong La Pass, every moment was unforgettable. Highly recommend Sherpa Expeditions for anyone seeking the best trekking experience in Nepal!

    I recently completed the 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trek with Wongdi Sherpa as our guide, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and smoothly by the company. Wongdi Sherpa was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, caring, and incredibly experienced. He made sure we were always safe, comfortable, and well-informed about the local culture, wildlife, and geography. The entire team was extremely friendly, supportive, and motivated throughout the trek, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the challenging journey much more enjoyable. Their hospitality and positive attitude truly enhanced the whole experience. The company’s organization was top-notch, with great attention to detail in logistics, accommodation, and meals. I felt well taken care of every step of the way. I highly recommend this company and especially Wongdi Sherpa for anyone planning to trek Annapurna Base Camp. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience made even better by such an amazing team! Thank you to Wongdi Sherpa and the entire crew for making this trek so memorable!
