The whole team at World Expeditions were fantastic from the office staff, the porters, kitchen staff, sherpas and the on the on the ground meet and greet staff were all excellent _ I cant commend the process enough and felt safe and well informed the whole time.Many thanks
The local tour operator provided a very good, friendly and sensible guide to accompany me as a solo traveller going to poon hill circuit. The office was very organised, confirming a price quote quickly so that I could make arrangements. I'd recommend this trek, preferably out of the busiest season. I'm sure this company would make a very good tailor made tour for individual needs at any time of year.
I am back at my office now after 12 days trekking and still dreaming with our trekking around Anapurnas :-) We were there the first 2 weeks in September and fortunately had only 2 days rain. The view, the landscapes, the mountains, the mountain refuges... everything was perfect! And special mention to our GREAT guide Pawan who was always paying attention to anything we needed! Thank you Pawan and Dil
Overall a GREAT trip away in Nepal. Our WE Guide from Nepal (Rishi) was absolutely fantastic, together with all our guides, porters, cook and drivers. What an adventure we had, hard, some days extremely difficult for those of us over 60+, but well worth the pain and suffering....we just suffered together!
Recently did Annapurna base camp trek in Nepal with a guide Buddhi and Porter Ramesh. It was a wonderful journey in Nepal Himalayas. One of the best treks in Nepal.
The Upper Mustang trek leads you into the hidden kingdom of Mustang, also called Lo. The ultimate destination of this trek is Lo-Manthang, the capital of Upper Mustang. This medieval town is surrounded by a huge wall, and it not only offers its visitors beautiful views of the rugged landscape but also allows them to observe the Tibetan Buddhist culture that has been practiced in this region since many centuries ago.
In and around Lo-Manthang, hikers can discover ancient monasteries, Mani walls, Buddhist shrines, Gompas and Mandalas. Lo used to be a part of the Tibetan empire and you will see houses built in the Tibetan style with white washed walls.
Mustang is an arid, treeless land of monasteries. The best season is March to October, although Upper Mustang is in the rain shadow region of Nepal, meaning trekkers can also visit during the monsoon season. Several years ago, trekking used to be organized as camping or tenting treks. Now, the area is developing simple tea houses.
I went solo in low season (Jan) and it was amazing! It was cold at night, but i had the trail and all of the lodges to myself. That's how I like it. If you prefer a more solitary experience, this is the time to do it. Also, blue skies the entire time. I did 12 days that included Poon Hill and Anapurna Base Camp. Ramesh was my guide and he was the best! He really knows his stuff took care of everything. Such a great person too. I had been wanting to do this for 20 years and I was not disappointed. Seriously the trip of a lifetime. This outfit was recommended to me by word-of-mouth, and I'm telling everyone who will listen to come to Nepal and get into the mountains with these guys!
We embarked on a remarkable two-week journey to Nepal, expertly organized by Mr. Gokul of this tour company. Despite some last-minute changes on our part, he remained incredibly accommodating and patient throughout. We were thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the accommodations, tours, and activities he arranged for us.
Exploring Kathmandu with our knowledgeable tour guide, Siri, was an enriching experience. His insights into the city's vibrant history added depth to our exploration.
Our short but amazing flight to Pokhara was nothing short of unforgettable, thanks to the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys along the way. Mr. Kumar & Botie ( not sure the spelling) were exceptional skills ensured our safety, and the delicious food we enjoyed during the journey, especially the Dal Bhat, left a lasting impression.
Our stay in Pokhara was equally pleasant, with a well-located hotel providing easy access to shops, the lakeside, and various dining options. Exploring temples and cruising on Fewa Lake added to the charm of our visit.
However, the pinnacle of our trip was undoubtedly the journey to Annapurna Base Camp. The awe-inspiring landscapes and towering mountains along the route left us spellbound. Mr. Kumar, our experienced trekking guide, played a crucial role in making this leg of our journey truly unforgettable, sharing his expertise on the mountains, trekking routes, and religious sites.
We owe the success of our trip to the seamless coordination and outstanding arrangements made by Mr. Gokul, Ms. Ashmita and all the staff. Their dedication created memories that will last a lifetime, and we eagerly anticipate our next adventure in Nepal. Love you all !!!
Join us for a 5-day adventure to the Mardi Himal region of the Himalayas! Mardi Himal Trek is a popular, newly discovered trek in the Annapurna Region of Nepa, and is an alternative trekking route for the Annapurna Circuit Trek. This trekking route lies to the east of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and is a unique and off-the-beaten-path hidden gem!
The way to Mardi Himal Base Camp Follows the breathtaking scenery of high, beautiful green hills and majestic views of snow-capped mountains Annapurna, Machhapuchre(Fishtail), and Himchuli. On the way to Mardi Himal Base Camp, you will pass through traditional villages, rhododendron forests, and a diverse range of dramatic landscapes.
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.
We did the Mardi Himal trek in April 2022. It was a fantastic experience due to our guides Nima Sherpa and Porter Kanchha sherpa. Thanks so much, guys for becoming good friends. Will definitely book again and ask for you to guide us around the next time we come!
