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 very lucky having the best guide with Lakpa Sherpa. in addition, Passng Sherpa hejped out too. Both were fantastic. they know the ins and outs of the treks, adjusted the route in our favor if needed. The porters (Pasang Lama, Nuru, Rangdu) were great too. we had so much fun with everybody. Everybody was always super positive and super helpful. You couldn‘t ask for more! If I go again for a Himalaya trek (which is very likely) I would 100% choose Sherpa Expeditions again and especially Lakpa and Passng as our guides!

  Overall we had an absolutely brilliant time, it was the trek of a lifetime. The tea houses were surprisingly good, with great food selection. The guide, Mindu, was brilliant and looked after everything so we had nothing to worry about. He was knowledgable and taught us lots about culture and the surroundings. Sherpa Expedition Trekking/ Teams (both the same- it’s not obvious that they are) provided down coats and sleeping bags, which were in brilliant condition, rated to -20 and were certainly warm enough. In fact, the sleeping bag was too warm for the lower tea houses. They also provided great duffel bags. Note- if you book the tour through tour radar and not Sherpa directly, it’s worth leaving the porter booking for the time being and sort it directly with Sherpa to avoid any confusion on how many are needed/ prices etc. The only thing we had concerns about was we’d have liked more constant and consistent monitoring of our symptoms for altitude. Our blood oxygen saturation readings were taken when we requested it, but there were discrepancies between what the guide told us was an acceptable SATs reading, and what we found on published medical journals. So I’d encourage you to be vigilant about this, and if it doesn’t seem right, speak up. Overall, holiday of a life time- take the plunge and enjoy it! Best, Dan

  I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a 12-day Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I contacted them to inquire about the trek to the moment I said goodbye to my guide and porter at the end of the journey, Sherpa Expedition provided exceptional service and support every step of the way. The team at Sherpa Expedition was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about ensuring that my trek was not only safe but also enjoyable. Our guide was experienced and had an in-depth understanding of the local culture, history, and geography of the region, which added so much depth to the trek. He was also very attentive to our needs, constantly checking in on our well-being and making sure we were acclimatizing properly to the high altitudes. The itinerary for the trek was well-planned and allowed us to acclimatize gradually as we made our way to Everest Base Camp. Each day brought new breathtaking views of the Himalayas, and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching Base Camp was truly indescribable. The accommodations and meals provided during the trek were comfortable and delicious, giving us the energy we needed to continue our journey each day.
