Why Travel with us

BEING SHERPA
The Sherpa people have traditionally been known as 'the guardians of the Himalaya'. As Sherpa, we know and love this region and it is in this role that we wished to share this knowledge and love with others. Our philosophy is quite simple: to follow our traditions of hospitality and welcome you to share our homeland, the Sikkim, and the Himalayas.

WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE AS LOCAL
Being Local we personally and practically survey the areas and regions where we organize our treks and tours in Sikkim and another Himalayan region to ensure a higher degree of safety and satisfaction. With a deep understanding of mountains and their environments, their people, their culture, and tradition we have all the experiences and expertise you and your groups need. With numerous successful treks, tours, and expeditions in our belt across the Sikkim Himalayas, you can rest assured that you, your family, and your clients are in safe hands.

CLIENTS CARE AND SAFETY
We have in our possession many highly trained and skilled guides, cooks, and supporting staff who are well trained and experienced to take care of our valuable clients. Above all, they are all very honest, loyal, hardworking, and ever-smiling gentlemen…Most of the time the same bunch of trekking staff or units works together to ensure better service, care, and a healthy environment. We all are here to ensure a high degree of care, safety, and a healthy environment and to make sure that your trip runs smoothly.

PRIVATE AND SMALL GROUP
Keeping things private means, you will have all the privacy you need and at the same time enjoy the adventure with your close and loved ones.

Keeping things small means, you’ll get to know your fellow travellers and make lifelong friends as you share your adventure together. We travel with no more than 15 people (and often less) which means we are flexible and you have the freedom to do as much (or as little) as you like.

Our 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1 guest to guide ratio and small group size of 8 to 15 persons with 2 to 3 guides ratio led to the best possible services with a personalized touch with care.
