Our Mission

How Local Sherpa works:

1

Find a trek.

Explore our diverse range of Himalayan treks, from popular routes to hidden gems. Browse detailed descriptions, difficulty levels, and relevant information needed to find your perfect adventure.

2

Choose your sherpa.

Connect with experienced local guides who know the trails intimately.    Read their profiles, check reviews, and select the sherpa who best matches your needs and preferences.

3

Trek. Share. Inspire.

Embark on your unforgettable journey with your chosen guide. After your trek, share your experience by leaving a review. Your feedback helps future trekkers and motivates guides to excel.

Our mission is rooted in community empowerment, sustainable tourism, and authentic experiences.
