I was initially nervous about taking the leap and joining a group tour as a solo female traveller. Having just arrived home from this trip, I realise that it was one of the best experiences of my life to date. I have made memories for life, gained valuable local experiences in two amazing countries which have challenged preconceptions and experienced new friendships with like minded fellow travellers.

Embarking on the Annapurna Circuit Trek guided by Dawa and supported by Porter Karma, was a life-changing experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set foot on the trail to the final descent, every aspect of this trek was meticulously planned and executed with precision and care.
Dawa, our guide, was a true professional with an in-depth knowledge of the trail, local customs, and the surrounding mountains. His guidance was invaluable, ensuring our safety and well-being throughout the trek. He was not only a skilled trekker but also a wonderful companion, sharing stories and insights that enriched our journey.
Porter Karma, with his warm smile and unwavering dedication, made our trek even more memorable. Carrying our belongings with ease, Karma provided essential support and added a touch of genuine kindness to our experience. His presence was a true testament to the incredible teamwork and camaraderie fostered by Sherpa Expedition.
The service provided by this trekking company was nothing short of excellent. From the initial booking process to the final farewell, every detail was taken care of with efficiency and professionalism. The team ensured that we were well-equipped, well-fed, and well-rested throughout the trek, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Annapurna region.
The Annapurna Circuit itself was a mesmerizing blend of diverse landscapes, from lush forests and terraced fields to barren high-altitude deserts and snow-capped peaks. Each day brought new challenges and rewards, pushing our limits while inspiring a sense of awe and gratitude for the natural world.
Overall, I cannot recommend this company highly enough for anyone considering trekking in Nepal. Their commitment to providing exceptional service, paired with the expertise of guides like Dawa and porters like Karma, ensures an unforgettable and enriching adventure. The Annapurna Circuit Trek will forever hold a special place in my heart.
The tour provided a great opportunity to observe Indian culture close-up, while also visiting many of the key tourist sites of northern india. On the whole, a great balance.

This was my second completely independent trip to China with this tour operator. I worked with Kyle Lee to organize the itineraries and book hotels, guides, internal trains, and more. This year, I chose to visit Chengdu and Chongqing, as well as some areas of interest near these two cities. I was originally supposed to travel with my daughter, but at the last moment, due to a knee issue, she decided not to come (especially since the trip included some hiking and physical effort). So, I embarked on this journey alone.
What can I say? Impeccable organization. Kyle is extremely helpful and exceptional at tailoring itineraries and travel experiences. He is attentive and present, with an incredible ability to craft trips that let you see exactly what you wanted – and even more. The guides were extraordinary. Diana, incredibly friendly and super communicative, managed to show me the most important parts of an immense city like Chongqing in just one day, while still giving me the space to explore certain places on my own when I needed it.
Andy, who assisted me with logistical transfers in Chengdu, accompanied me with charm, elegance, empathy, and a great sense of humor. Even though he was with me for a short time, he left a lasting impression. However, the highest praise goes to Rosa, my main guide in Chengdu, Leshan, and Mount Emei. Calling her a guide feels reductive – she was a friend, a travel companion, and like family. Tireless, incredibly knowledgeable, and always available. Seeing that I was traveling alone, she joined me for dinners and accompanied me well beyond her working hours. We went shopping together, talked with locals (thanks to her interpretation skills), and shared so much culturally, relationally, and personally. She welcomed me into her world, and I welcomed her into mine. I don’t think I’ve ever traveled with a guide so prepared, kind, and open, who introduced me not only to her country but also to such meaningful human connections.
If I could give 10 stars to this company, to Kyle, and to the amazing people I met, I absolutely would. Since I can only give 5 stars, I’ll do that instead – but I’m already thinking about traveling with them again next year!

All of the porters, Ganesh, Yam, and Tek was amazing. They made our trek awesome and it was hard to say goodbye. We all had a really good time together. They were genuine, fun, helpful. At one point Tek needed to walk behind with a guy that had knee pain and Yam took great care of the group with safety, humor and interesting stories about our surroundings

I recently had the pleasure of touring Beijing with an amazing guide Steven and driver, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He shared fascinating insights about Beijing’s history and culture, making each site we visited even more meaningful. Their enthusiasm and storytelling brought places like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven to life. They also gave us great recommendations for local food and hidden gems, which made our trip even more special. The driver was equally fantastic—always punctual, professional, and courteous.
Navigating Beijing’s busy streets can be challenging, but our driver made it feel effortless. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making our journey stress-free and enjoyable. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide and driver. I highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Beijing.
