I had an EXCELLENT 7 day Mardi Himal trek. 3 Sisters was my choice for a few reasons: 1. They allowed me to pick my own custom dates, versus joining a group with set dates. This really helped me in finding times that worked with flights etc. 2. I was hiking by myself, and as a solo woman it was a HUGE bonus to me that all the guides and assistants are women.
The trek was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience, thanks in large part to the Three Sisters staff. My guide, Sarmila, was friendly, helpful, and interesting to talk to. She had a lot of knowledge about the trek, the mountains, and the best ways to hike/schedule things to avoid altitude sickness, crowds and other issues. She also was open to talking about Nepali culture and daily life. She prioritized my comfort and safety. Her English skills were also amazing, I was so impressed she mostly learned on the job. My assistant, Pabitra, was newer to Three Sisters (I think she was on her first trek to Mardi Himal?) and she was also kind, helpful, and a comfortable presence for me.
Sarmila and Pabitra allowed me to shorten the trek by one day and were flexible with mid-trek changes. I also accidentally left my trekking poles on a jeep we traveled in and was sure I'd never see them again, but Sarmila did some legwork and was able to recover them for me. I'm sure that took a few phone calls and I didn't realize she was even doing it until my poles showed up again the next day in the trunk of the car that was picking us up! Top notch organization & service.
I recommend this trekking company to everyone but especially women! 5 stars especially for Sarmila and Pabitra. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience! - via
