To Himalayan Sherpa Trek & Expedition (AC Sherpa) |
Thank you for an unforgettable trip to Nepal and Tibet last year. Both countries are so different from the United States and Europe it was a life goal fulfilled to be there. Seeing how different the social and political climates are there I am glad that I had you to organize trip and to personally oversee the details in Nepal.
Volunteering through Himalayan Women & Children’s foundation to help with the dental clinic in the village was another experience that turned out to be more powerful than I expected. It was lot of work for a couple of days, but I really saw how we were helping people and the positive impact we had on their lives. It was wonderful to see the village and for your family to host us.
Best wishes for your future success,

Giving Back Through Himalayan Women & Children's Foundation |
I have been involved with the Himalayan Woman's and Children's Foundation for the past 2 years. It's been a very uplifting experience for me as a dentist been able to give back to the less fortunate in our global society.
A.C. Sherpa of the Himalayan Women's and Children's Foundation, has worked tirelessly in terms of setting up and organizing a dental clinic in a remote village for health care professional like myself who want to give back to society thru volunteerism and at the same time have fun enjoying the local culture and the spectacular scenery unlike anywhere in the world.
Last fall of 2007, I have the chance not only to volunteer my time in the dental clinic helping out children, woman, and seniors with their immediate dental needs. But was also able to trek and climb on stunning scenic hiking trails and mountains. The best moment was seeing Mount Everest smiling upon us.
The local food and hospitality and helpfulness from the Sherpa guides and cooks, of the Himalayan Sherpa Trek and Expedition to the locals we encountered in our trip resulted in warm long lasting fond memories.
The accommodations were surprisingly comfortable and modern for the remoteness of the locations where we stayed at. And yes hot showers and comfortable warm soft beds.
For me this trip was a great combination of volunteering and also enjoying a well earned vacation without feeling guilty of not giving back to this world of ours.
For health care professionals who want to get away from the hectic schedules and the daily grind the Himalayan Women's and Children's Foundation and the Himalayan Sherpa Trek and Expedition are organization that can provide you with a safe, comfortable and definitely a memorable trip.

Dear Himalayan Sherpa Trek & Expedition.
It was a great trip. Your staff Kazi and Tendi were very good they always on top of everything! They always found us places to stay and we were never forced to do too long of day. Besides the scenery, my favorite part was your parent's house. It would be awesome if you could arrange for people to stay in households more/ higher up.

Fulfilled a long time dream |
Last year I came, almost by accident, upon an opportunity that helped fulfill a longtime dream of mine and also provided me with the experience and satisfaction of volunteering for a good cause.
I was lucky to be able to travel with A.C. Sherpa and the Himalayan Sherpa Trek & Expedition for 28 days to Nepal. It was a memorable trip to a beautiful country with friendly and welcoming people. The Himalayan Women and Children's Foundation was an integral part of the trip that provides dental services to poor
villagers who otherwise have no care. I am not a dentist but my assistance in providing help in their cause was still welcome and I cherished my fortitude of being part of a noble effort and the satisfaction I had from the many thankful smiles and namaste's received.
This contribution seemed small and I was rewarded many times over by the help I got from all the sherpas and porters in our group as we set out on a magnificent trek and climbing expedition for the weeks to follow. A. C. Sherpa provided an inside journey of his homeland and took us to places like Namche Bazar, the Tenggpoche monastery, Kallar Pattar near the Everest basecamp and many other wonderful sites culminating in a 3 day climb up Island Peak at over 20,000 feet.
This was without doubt a great adventure and spiritual pilgramage for me and unforgetable memories to behold.
