Nepal's Leading Expedition Operator

From the onset, they provided reliable and timely information with regards to entering the country and initiating our trek into basecamp. Once on the mountain, the basecamp was fantastic. Very organized, amazing food and very nice tents. Dawa, Nabin, Sarki and the rest of the crew were very receptive to any requests, they were always thinking ahead and they organized a very successful trip. I would 100% work with them the next time I go back to Nepal, be it for climbing or treking. They are the best of the best.

friendly and professional, great chef and kitchen stuff, amazing food, and very well connected agent back in Kathmandu that helped us a lot with the tough times during Covid lockdown. This certainly has been an experience of a lifetime..

your expedition is covered. No task is too big or too small for Nabin (managing everything in Kathmandu) and Dawa (managing everything in basecamp). The Sherpa team has an outstanding summit resume, they are very professional, highly technically skilled, super human strong, friendly, patient and treat everyone with the utmost respect. Sarki, the basecamp cook, and his cook team, provides world class meals from their cook tent domain. I can highly recommend Nabin, Dawa and their amazing team!!

Flew from Kathmandu to Lukla where we started hike. Around 35 miles of hiking from Lukla to Everest Basecamp. Overnight accommodations were from excellent to poor. Tea rooms for dining were always good. We had good weather the entire trek so didn’t need our gear in day packs. Sherpas carried all our heavy gear bags to each overnight stops. It made the hike more enjoyable and especially at those high altitudes to not have to carry the extra weight. Highly recommended to get diamox for the altitude. There is a lot of up and down hiking along the valleys. So it can be difficult if you’re not in shape. On average around 7 miles a day. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Towering ice covered mountains. Several cable bridges to cross the river along the way. We opted to make arrangements to take a returning helicopter back to Lukla from a lower stop from Everest Basecamp. The Sherpas at Everest Basecamp took real good care of us. Good food and tea. When we got back to Kathmandu, we did tours and restaurants before returning home. I would do this trip again. I went in March 2017 and not the date selection listed.

 

peaks and trekking. Their base camp staff has some of the best cooks in the Khumbu and the Sherpa team is famous for their professionalism and strength. I'm proud to call everyone at Expedition Himalaya my friends and college .

after careful consideration we settled on using Expedition Himalaya. We based the decision in large part on several strong recommendations we received from friends who have worked with them in the past. And I am happy to report that EH did a fabulous job for us, and I can strongly recommend them to anyone looking to hire an outfitter for anything from a simple trek to a full blown Everest expedition. Thanks to the great work done by Navin, Dawa and all of our camp staff and climbing sheras, led by Lhakpa Tenje, our team was able to summit on May 30, 2019. (You can learn more about our trip through the two documentary films we produced - Lost on Everest [available on Disney+] and The Ghosts Above [available on Vimeo). As a testament to how strongly I believe in and trust Expedition Himalaya, I am planning to hire them again to lead a trek to Everest south side base camp for my family.

in every detail, extremely well. He really took care to ensure our safety and good health. It became immediately apparent that we were in the best of hands. Nabin, the co-owner of Expedition Himalaya, could not have been more friendly and accommodating. His personal touch, pre and post trek in Kathmandu, was wonderful. I highly recommend this company. We'll be returning to them for more!

 

for the "Three Passes" (Kongma La, Cho La, Renjo La) trek. We already knew what itinerary we wanted but we were looking for assistance with permits, flights (helicopters; we didn't feel like dealing with going to Ramechhap for the fixed wing flight to Lukla), lining up a porter, and making reservations in advance at the lodges (we were trekking in Nov and, while not quite peak season, it was crowded and especially in places like Lobuche, we were really glad we had reservations). EH set us up with a wonderful guy, Chepa, who was ridiculously fast and just a pleasure to trek with (we'd all been up in the Khumbu numerous times and didn't need a guide). All the lodge bookings had been made as we'd been told, though I'd suggest doing some research in advance and telling EH if you have a particular lodge you want to stay in at each village (and what kind of room - standard, attached bath, etc). We didn't specify any particular lodges and, while the ones they selected for us were mostly good, in two cases they'd booked us into somewhat run-down lodges and there were definitely better options available (in Deboche, I'd recommend the Rivendell Lodge, and in Gokyo, either the Thanka Inn or the Himalayan Eco-Lodge). EH did a great job with arranging the helicopters and were suitably flexible with other aspects of the trip (for example, we ended up coming back to Kathmandu a day early and it was no dramas). Navin and the rest of the EH staff were professional, competent, charged very fair prices (we shopped around), and overall did a great job of arranging our trip. I can recommend them without any hesitation.
