"I can’t believe I could do the Everest base camp trek without the help of Sherpa Legends AMAZING team. They organized my trip from beginning to the end and went above and beyond to ensure I have a great experience. The whole team was very experienced and communicative and anytime I had a question or concern they were on my side. Sanjay was such a patient, amazing guide who showed me the beauty of Kathmandu and organized anything I needed during my trip. Dr. Nima who is the owner was checking on me throughout the trek to ensure about my health and to provide anything I need in this journey. Although the hike was challenging, I had the most strong guide in the mountains, Pasang, who went to the peak of Mount Everest 9 times which made me feel I am in good hands.
Thank you Sherpa Legends for an awesome adventure and memorable experience! It was definitely one of my best experiences and I highly recommend Sherpa Legends team for anyone who wants to try hiking the base camp."

I had the most amazing time doing the EBC trek with Sherpa legends as part of my medical elective. On the trip we were so well looked after. We had great guides and porters that supported us to get up and down safely. It’s hard to put into words how great the trip was - memories for lifetime!
Our route was extremely well designed were we avoided the busy areas and were able to see great places like Kumjung and meet and be hosted by friends and family of our team. The clinics were great we had the opportunity to examine patients and got really great teaching. Sanj especially looked after us and constantly went above and beyond taking us to the best lodges and even looking after us back in Kathmandu and helping us organise our further travel plans. I was so impressed with the organization - it was seamless.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding organization of my medical elective to the Mount Everest Base Camp. The entire experience was perfectly organized by Sherpa Legends team, and I am particularly grateful for Nigma's incredible guidance throughout the expedition. He did an incredible job guiding us, ensuring our safety, and enhancing our overall experience.
Additionally, meeting doctors at different clinics and camps along the journey was an invaluable learning opportunity. I gained profound insights into high altitude sickness and expedition medicine, making this elective truly unique and educational.
This was an incredible experience that I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend to anyone interested in a distinctive and educational adventure in the Himalayas. Thank you once again for making this journey unforgettable.

I had a truly incredible medical elective with Sherpa Legends. Over the course of four weeks, we trekked through breathtakingly beautiful Himalayas, stopping at several high-altitude clinics along the way. My prior experience with altitude medicine was limited, so the opportunity to meet expert doctors at these clinics and interact with patients who allowed us to examine and learn from them was invaluable.
The trek was a little challenging at times, but our guide, Nima, led us at a comfortable pace with plenty of tea stops to re-energize. I was initially nervous about climbing to such high elevations, but Nima and our trip manager, Sanj, took exceptional care of us, ensuring I felt safe and happy throughout the journey up to base camp. We did one unforgettable hike up Kala Patthar, with majestic mountain views and beautiful sunrise colors lighting up the sky. Then, reaching Everest Base Camp, we were greeted by a sea of yellow tents amidst the ice and stone, forming a remote yet vibrant little community.
Visiting Everest ER was the highlight of the trip for me. We learned from doctors about AMS, HAPE, HACE, climbing injuries, and frostbite. Experiencing medical practice in this remote setting, with limited equipment and medication, has deepened my appreciation for the diagnostic skill and resourcefulness of high-altitude doctors. It has inspired me to want to further my own medical training at high-altitude.
I am forever grateful to this team for providing me with the experience of a lifetime.
