Bentley

Fantastic Views

08-Oct-2019

Breathe taking, both literally and figuratively. Don’t just keep doing trek of else you will miss beautiful sceneries. Take a moment to breathe it all in. If you have some extra days spend in Pokhara- it’s a beautiful city.

Carlos

Strong Porter

24-Oct-2019

Trek was quite difficult, so a porter is an amazing person to have with you. Their strength and resilience to the elements, the lack of oxygen and the weight is nothing like I’ve ever seen before. All in all this trip is definitely worth it and I’d recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking for it hands down. Best experience I could have hoped for.

Asher

The Best part Of Annapurna Circuit

29-Dec-2019

Annapurna Circuit trek was wonderful. They really do cover the highlights of the area. This is not an easy trek, but a beginner could still do it (just make sure you either pack light or hire a porter). The landscape is amazing, and the sights are stunning!”

Max

Great Experience with stunning Views

For my Annapurna trek I chose Sherpa Expedition and Trekking and I would recommend to all further adventure seekers. Our Sherpa guide was an amazing guide, providing us with support and advice throughout the trek. He had a lot of knowledge of the Annapurna region and always made sure that we felt good and comfortable.
