A Three-Generation Sherpa Family Company

Nepal Trekking & Himalayan Tours with Real Sherpa Guides

Private treks and tours, planned by our family in the United States and led by Sherpa guides in Nepal.

BUILT AROUND YOU

The Nepal Most Visitors Never See

We plan every trip around your pace and your interests. That might mean a summit most trekkers skip, a morning puja at a monastery our family knows personally, or a rest day in the village where your guide grew up.

Three Ways to Travel in Nepal

Himalayan Trails

High routes led by guides who have walked them since childhood. We pace them properly, with real acclimatization built in.

Monasteries and Villages

Private visits to monasteries, festivals, and Sherpa family homes, arranged through relationships our family has built over decades.

Lower Valleys

Nepal without the altitude: rhododendron forests, terraced hillsides, and quiet villages that see few visitors.

Seasons

Every Season Shows You a Different Nepal

Autumn brings skies so clear you can count the Himalayan peaks from Kathmandu. Spring turns the hillsides crimson with rhododendrons. Tell us what you want to see, and we'll tell you which month to come.

I recently took a trip to Nepal and was met with wonderful service by the staff and amazing tours with the Sherpa guides. The cultural tours were by far my favorite. Highly recommend!!

I found Sherpa Holidays when I was looking to do the 23 days Annapurna circuit trek and they not only made me a custom itinerary to fit my needs, but they also made the entire process seamless. Highly recommend Sherpa Holidays for anyone looking to head to Nepal!
