Empowering local communities

At Local Sherpa, we are passionate about connecting trekkers with local Sherpas to create a sustainable income for local communities. We believe that by fostering strong relationships with local communities, we can create a more inclusive and sustainable tourism industry.

We understand the challenge of finding trustworthy, knowledgeable guides in remote areas. Our platform solves this by offering a curated network of experienced local Sherpas, ensuring you have access to authentic, safe, and enriching trekking experiences.

Our non-profit organization is dedicated to promoting responsible tourism practices that respect and celebrate local cultures, while also providing training and support for local Sherpas to promote career advancement and cultural preservation.

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