Island peak climbing Traveler’s Review

Great Experience Climbing 6K Mountain

June 4, 2022

Our incredible adventure began with the Island Peak climbing and high pass trek combo package from Gokyo agency. Scaling a 6,000-meter mountain was an exhilarating experience, and though it was a challenging day-long ascent to reach the Island Peak summit, the rewards were beyond measure.

Throughout the journey, we were fascinated by the fascinating insights we gained about glaciers and the summits of other towering mountains. Ammar, the agency’s owner, played a crucial role in arranging almost every aspect of our climbing trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience.

Without a doubt, we would choose Gokyo agency again in a heartbeat for their impeccable service and expertise. The memories of this remarkable journey will stay with us forever, and we can’t wait to embark on another adventure with them in the future.

High Passes Trek with Island Peak climbing in Everest Zone

May 12, 2022

My son suggested a hike in the Everest area and I jumped at the chance. We study about five companies and settled with Gokyo Treks & Expedition after checking out staff insurance, trip reviews, and licensing of the companies. Finally, we found this company as a genuine tour operator and we book everything with Ammar and his agency. Ammar met us on our arrival at the hotel and ensured our guided trip to Kathmandu for the second day went well.

Bimal was our guide, he met us at the airport and brought us to our hotel. He led us to the airport for the short flight to Lukla getting us through customs swiftly. We spent 16 days with him; he was remarkable the whole journey taking care of our needs and keeping us safe.

We had asked Ammar to put us in the best lodges and he did modify a better guesthouse with a cost difference. Overall we had an excellent adventure and I would recommend using Gokyo Treks travel agency for any trip to Nepal. – Henry and Vanessa Robbins, Zermatt, Switzerland

The Island Peak Climb was an awesome experience! Fur Galzen, our fantastic Sherpa guide, was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful throughout the journey. He was always eager to capture great pictures for everyone, adding an extra special touch to our adventure.

Amazing climbing, Great experience

April 5, 2022

My oldest Son and I had such a wonderful climbing adventure trip with Nawang Chonga Sherpa. We had never such as High Mountain climbed before but Sherpa Guide Nawang made sure we had the necessary equipment and explained everything.

The whole time was just amazing except some steps near the Summit. It was difficult for me but hardly touch the summit with his perfect guidance. Totally happy and I would highly recommend Gokyo Treks & Expedition agency and Nawang if you are looking for an unforgettable and amazing climbing journey to Island peak.
