Great Service

07-Nov-2019

Good all round service. Ram barakoti very kind, attentive and responds quickly to queries. My guide Lakpa chose a good route based on how busy the scheduled stopping points were. We were able to avoid the crowds. Choice of accommodation good. Lakpa had some interesting knowledge to share about the area. I would book with this company again.

I highly recommend this tour agency. They arranged most of our trip to GHorepani Poon Hill. The flight tickets, the permits, accommodation and transportation was organized. We were also provided an amazing guide/porter. He was a really good guide, he knew everything, was always taking good care of us, taking us to really good lodges.

Memorable Trip

17-Oct-2019

We had first ever to GHorepani Poon Hill. Which was fantastic. This trek offers spectacular mountain scenery along a route that takes us past charming villages inhabited particularly by the Gurungs and Magars. We also travel through dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys below the Annapurna range during this trip.

Mallory

Best Trip Ever

Very Good

09-Oct-2019

The Ghorepani Hike was great. Saw so many highlights and all aspects of Himalayan life and culture. We were really lucky with the weather with just a few raining occasions and had a great time enjoying both the adventure, cultural and wildlife part of Annapurna Region.

Awesome Trek

30-Nov-2019

This was unforgettable trekking :) We spent couple of days in beautiful mountains, among the nature, with great guide who took care of us and who made us feel save in the mountains. We saw the most beautiful sunrise; we were above the clouds and saw beautiful views. All trekking was very well organized.

Bennett

Terrific

19-Oct-2019

Terrific hike! Itinerary allowed us to see as much as possible of this beautiful country and its culture - I thought it excellent value for money. In general, I found the accommodation of a higher standard I've come to expect from this this type of trip.

Nepal Trek was my 3rd time, and Sherpa Expedition and Trekking was great company must be doing something right. I had heard great things about Nepal and I wasn't disappointed. The Ghorepani Ghandruk Hike was well organized and a good tour leader makes it appear seamless.

15-Oct-2019

This was a fantastic tour! Such a wide variety of things to see with a very active pace. I've travelled a lot and was starting to get wary of successive trips being too similar. This adventure has rekindled my enthusiasm for travel. I am in Love with Nepal and Himalayas.
