Seven Summit Treks is a commercial adventure operator established in 2010 based in Kathmandu, Nepal. They specialize in expedition climbing trips to the eight-thousanders of Nepal, China, and Pakistan.[6] The company was established by four Sherpa brothers,[7] Mingma Sherpa, Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Tashi Lakpa Sherpa and Pasang Phurba Sherpa. Mingma and Chhang Dawa are the first siblings and first South Asians to have climbed all 8000ers.

In 2018 Seven Summit Treks guided two climbers up Mount Everest without permits. As a result Seven Summit Treks was fined $44,000 USD. The two climbers were investigated for climbing Everest without a permit.[8]
In 2019, Seven Summit Treks was recognized as the largest royalty/taxpayer firm of Nepal, having organised the highest number of climbing expeditions in the Nepal Himalayas.[9] Seven Summit Treks gained popularity from managing logistics for a number of pioneers and veteran climbers like Alex Txikon and Carlos Soria Fontán.[10]
