OUR STORY

Two Sherpas. One Family. Forty Years in the Himalayas.


Gyalgin Sherpa has been guiding in the Himalayas since before most of our guests were born. He learned the mountains from his own father, the passes, the weather, the altitude rhythms that no textbook teaches. He spent decades guiding expeditions at some of the highest elevations on earth, and carrying the quiet authority that comes from having done something dangerous, carefully, for a very long time.


When Sam Sherpa joined him, something shifted. The mountain knowledge stayed the same. But the way of sharing the private itineraries, the connections with boutique lodges, the access to remote regions that standard operators can't reach, became something new. SherpaHolidays is what happens when a Sherpa family decides to do things on their own terms.


We don't have a call center. We don't have a booking algorithm. When you reach out to us, you reach one of us. And when you travel with us, you're in the company of people who have spent their entire lives in the landscape you came to see.

Authentic Sherpa Lineage

Our guides don't work for us; they are us. SherpaHolidays is a family operation, which means the knowledge that takes you through the Himalayas is the same knowledge that has been passed from father to son for generations. You're not hiring a guide. You're being welcomed by people whose entire identity is tied to the mountains they're showing you.

Ethical & Impactful Travel

We live in the communities you'll pass through. That's not a policy, it's personal. We choose our accommodation partners carefully, we hire locally at every level, and we don't take guests into areas that can't absorb the visit with dignity. When you travel with us, the money you spend stays in Nepal. That matters to us in a way that no corporate travel company can replicate.

Tailored Premium Expeditions

No two guests are the same, and we stopped building fixed itineraries for people who aren't. Our connections in Nepal are decades deep, the boutique lodges that don't appear on booking platforms, the monastery stays arranged through personal relationships, the helicopter operators who know us by name. We use all of it to build you something that no one else can replicate, because no one else has the same roots.

THE MOUNTAINS ARE WAITING.
