It was another trip to Nepal that we visited last July with our polish friends. The trip was nice but some days were raining for some times but luckily we had a great view reaching Kyanjin Gompa, Lauri Bina la and Gosaikunda lakes. So we had a great view of Langtang Panora including shinning Ganesh Himal.

The staffs were super friendly and easy-going so we had no problem to customizing the length of day tour every day. Thank you Gokyo Treks Nepal as we will be returning your beautiful land again in near future. Get connected with us on our Facebook and Whatsapp.

My husband and I (in our 60’s) did the Langtang Valley trek with our daughter (age 28) in early November. We could not have been happier with the trip, particularly our expert guide Kamal who became a friend by the trip’s end.

He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. Couldn’t ask for anyone better! We also loved our porters Santosh and Sanjaya (on their way to becoming a guide).

Both are super friendly and helpful people with a great sense of humor and a consistently positive attitude. Pretty sure the tone for the whole organization is set by Ammar Guni, the team leader in Kathmandu, who promptly and patiently sent detailed answers to all our many emailed questions before our trip.

Go Gokyo! We would not consider trekking with anyone else — and despite our age, we are seriously thinking about a repeat trip with this fine local organization sometime in the next few years! Thank you to all of you!
