Additionally, the short, mountainous airstrip at Jomsom requires precise landings, making flights more prone to disruption. For these reasons, many trekkers prefer the scenic road journey, which is safer and offers uninterrupted views of the valley and surrounding peaks.

Around Annapurna Trek Review

Brilliant hospitality, service and organization

April 29, 2019

I returned home about 10 days ago from an amazing trip to beautiful Nepal! I booked trekking in Annapurna in advance with Gokyo Treks and Expedition and could not be happier about my decision. Ammar Guni, manager of the agency, offered me to stay at his house in Kathmandu before and after the commencement of the trekking.

Ammar and his family treated me as a friend, not as a client. They are very warm people who ensured I am well and safe and made me feel at home. The house is located about 25′ by taxi from the airport in a quiet neighborhood and is just a 20′ walk on foot from touristic Thamel, which makes it an excellent location to explore Kathmandu. Ammar organized the trekking to perfection. He was proactive in informing me prior to my departure about the weather conditions that could affect my trekking and suggested alternatives.

Ammar assigned me as porter-guide Kamal. I could not have been more content. Kamal is the best guide ever. He took care of me when I was sick and made sure that I eat properly and take my medicine, selected nice tea houses and bargained accommodation prices, motivated me when the altitude and exhaustion had taken a toll on me, in short, he was my guardian angel during the whole trekking. He is an experienced and knowledgeable guide and a beautiful soul. Judging from Kamal, I am 100% that all the guides, who work at Gokyo Treks, are experienced and reliable.

Apart from organizing the trekking, Ammar also informed me of sights I could visit during my stay at Kathmandu and even booked the taxis to and from the airport, always at the best prices. Moreover, his nephew accompanied me on the day of my arrival at the city center to manage trekking equipment.

With all these services Ammar went far beyond his role as a trekking agent. The professionalism, generosity, and hospitality of Ammar, his team, and his family are exceptional! He made my trip to Nepal a memorable experience. I could not have chosen a better agency. I will definitely be back! If you have doubts, about whether to book with Gokyo trekking or not, just BOOK

Thorong la Pass Trek

March 29, 2019

The first time I visited Nepal for the Annapurna Circuit was with my dad Dieter who visited Nepal two times earlier with the Gokyo Treks Agency. The Trek was very beautiful and mind-blowing.

Our Guide Ram was very professional, friendly, and easygoing. Porter Dependra was friendly and great caring during the trek.

Thanks to Ammar, leader, and founder-director of the Gokyo agency, and his whole team for the excellent work they have done for us to have a Trip to Nepal I will never forget.
