Weather and scenery were fantastic, as were my travel buddies. The eco-camps were a pleasing addition to the trip and quite comfortable. Physically and mentally challenging but incredibly well organized and supported by all especially Furungi - I cannot recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking highly enough! I'll be back!

GREAT FIRST STEP INTO THE ANAPURNA REGION

Although we had to shorten the trek due to Corona, it was a great first step into this fascinating landscape, and we experienced true friendship to our excellent guides Pasang. We will be back for more! Very nice trek with very a very nice and funny guide and porter! We really enjoyed it and definitely would recommend the trek trip to others!

Excellent Service

04-Dec-2018

We had the most brilliant trip. We could not have had better staff. Importantly there was not even the slightest concern about anyone’s health during the trek. I really cannot praise the work of the team enough. They ensured our safety and well-being at all times not to mention their friendly and warm manner. The trek itself went well and we were blessed with particularly good weather.

GREAT TREK WITH AMAZING VIEWS!

02-Apr-2019

It's an easy, pleasant trek - partly through the forest, with amazing views of the mountains. Great and diversified landscape at the poon hill trek. Lots of people in the morning at poon hill, but worth it.

Erica Ribeiro

A GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL TREKKING

28-Aug-2018

It was a good and very well-planned trek. Our guide Dendi is a professional guide who does all his best for helping and supporting us, his clients. Also compliments to our porter. We had a great trek with fun and many good stories. Thank you both for making our trek successful.

Gui Liu

ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP AND POON HILL

11-Mar-2019

The trek put together for my visit to Annapurna and was the best experience I had in Nepal. While traveling alone, I was able to customize trip exactly to my liking. The guide had so much knowledge of the culture and has become a good friend I'll keep in touch with in future years. When I return to Nepal in future, I'll definitely coordinate all travel through them again.
