Helambu to Gosaikunda Trek Review
Team of excellent Guides company, Local trek operator agency
This was our second visit to Nepal with Gokyo Treks & Expedition, and once again, the experience was exceptional. Together with our travel companions, we decided to return to the Langtang valley and Gosaikunda pass trekking to see how the region had recovered after the devastating earthquake.
Ammar was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process, always responding quickly with friendly and professional communication. Our two weeks journey was wonderfully organized with our guide Som and the 2 porters, who made the journey both comfortable and enjoyable.
Our guide carefully arranged accommodation in advance each day and led us all the way to Kyanjin Ri, where the mountain views were absolutely astonishing. And the trip clearly reflected the company’s excellent management, professionalism, and dedication to quality service.
Entire team of Ammar was caring, experienced, and attentive to every trekker’s individual needs. In addition to the trek, they also organized a fantastic 3 days wildlife safari tour in Chitwan National Park, visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and an unforgettable mountain flight experience.
Since the company is operated by experienced local guides, the pricing was very reasonable compared to many other agencies, without compromising on service quality. They are truly wonderful companions for exploring Nepal.
We are already looking forward to returning for another beautiful journey with this amazing team and our friends in the future.
