For Operators & Guides

We send you climbers and trekkers. You do what you do best.

Everest Sherpa connects vetted Himalayan operators and guides with climbers, trekkers and brands actively researching their trip. No listing fee to apply — we earn when you do.

Why operators work with us

Qualified leads, not cold traffic

Every inquiry comes from someone who's already filtered by peak, season and budget — not a generic contact form.

No upfront cost

Apply for free. We work on a per-lead or commission basis, agreed before any leads start flowing.

You control your identity

New and growing partners can be listed anonymized by default while trust builds — see the trust tiers below.

Built for the Himalayan market

We're not a generic travel marketplace. Every page is built around trekking and expedition specifics — guide ratios, permits, success rates.

Partnership tiers

Three ways to work with us, from no-cost comparison listing to a paid tier where customers connect with you directly.

Sourced

Free, no relationship needed

We reference publicly available pricing and reputation data for comparison. No name shown, no application required — this happens automatically for established operators.

Verified

Free, apply to join

We vet your offering directly. You're eligible to receive qualified leads through us, on a per-lead or commission basis agreed upfront. Still anonymized publicly to protect you from competitors.

Sponsored

Paid, priority placement

A paid monthly or annual placement where your listing appears first and customers see your contact details directly — no intermediary step, no per-lead fee. Best for operators ready to scale inbound volume.
