Best Lower Everest Trek

17-Dec-2019

Excellent with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking! The response rate was fast, the Director, Ram is contactable at all times during the trip via WhatsApp or Facebook for any queries. They even provided me with a local SIM card and guide assisted me to get data on the phone to stay connected. During the trip, guide was patient and safe. I fell sick on 2 days and he was constantly checking if I was OK and was concerned when I didn't feel like eating. Very attentive and caring! After the trip, I was even treated to a local cultural dinner and given a certificate of completion. Definitely different from other tour operators.”

As a first-time hiker in the Himalaya, the expectation of a great adventure is always welcomed, however the greater the adventure the greater the risks. Ram barakoti and his team have gone to great lengths to ensure our safety while providing a thrilling and memorable adventure. Highly recommended. Ram and Sherpa expedition and Trekking Team!

Pikey Peak Trek

12-Nov-2019

I booked my trek to Pikey Peak Trek at Sherpa Expedition and Trekking with a personal Porter-guide. The route choice was perfect and everything was very well planned. It was also realy easy to change plans, take another route, stay in another location etc. Ram the guide is a really nice guy. He tells a lot about the surroundings and his English is really good. He was always open to change the route, walk more a day or stay at another place. Thank you Ram for everything!!! The Trek is just beautiful with it's views, i really can recommend it!
