Why Sherpa Encounters?

þ Get to know the Sherpa people

Our guides, who live in the village of Ghat, not only lead us through the Solu- Khumbu region but also welcome us into their homes.

þ Experienced Sherpa guides

Virtually all our needs from tea house bookings to hiring the yaks to moving our equipment are handled by our certified mountaineering guides.

þ Seasoned Canadian trek leaders

All our trek leaders have years of trekking and mountaineering experience with particular emphasis on dealing with altitude.

þ Emergency rescue/evacuation available

Arrangements are in place to handle serious accident or medical emergencies. Insurance is recommended to cover potentially expensive services.

þ Certified tea house accommodations

The very best tea houses in each trekking area have personally been scouted by our staff.

þ Relatively small groups & reasonable pace

We limit the size to provide the best possible service. The group moves at a pace that ensures success at altitude.

þ Treks available for all age groups

Routes are specifically selected to accommodate all ages.

þ Cultural tours

Nepalese guides are employed to show us some of the fascinating temples and shrines surrounding the Kathmandu area.
