Reviews and Testimonials

This was our second visit to Nepal with friends, and once again, Gokyo Treks & Expedition exceeded our expectations. Our group of 12 travelers from Austria successfully completed the Manaslu Circuit Trekking crossing the spectacular Larke La Pass, with every detail of the journey organized flawlessly.

Our guide, Shree Ram Thapaliya, was exceptional and highly professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. Our porters, Dipendra, Ram Krishna, and Bude, were equally outstanding, friendly, hardworking, and always cheerful, making the trek enjoyable from start to finish. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team.

If you’re planning a trek around the Manaslu mountains, whether you need a guide and porter or prefer a fully inclusive package, we highly recommend Gokyo Treks & Expedition. They take care of every detail, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy one of the most beautiful trekking adventures in Nepal Himalayas.

My husband and I trekked to the amazing Langtang Gosaikunda scenic trek in October with Umesh our guide through Gokyo Treks and Expedition. Ammar organized everything for us with perfection. We stayed at Ammar’s home after arriving in Kathmandu. What a nice welcoming. We had an amazing time with our Trek guide Umesh who has almost 20 years of experience trekking all over the Himalayas in Nepal.

We had such an amazing trip. Pictures can not give back the natural beauty of the Himalayas. It was amazing to be in nature far away from civilization. The trekking was hard but it was well worth the effort when we reached the amazing Langtang Himalayas. All the villages had simple tea houses and plentiful food options.

I can not recommend enough Goyko Treks and Expeditions. Trip of the lifetime !!

Thank you very much, Ammar and Umesh for the amazing experience!

My husband and I set our eyes on Gokyo Treks back in March when we were deciding what company would be best for us. And we couldn’t be more satisfied, we arranged for an 18 days trek with Everest Base Camp trek while visiting a Gokyo first, followed by a 3 night Chitwan Jungle Safari in October. Everything was amazing, simply put.

We stayed with Ammar and his family while we were in Kathmandu and they really treated us as friends and family. We could really feel Ammar’s generosity and warm heart.

Our guide Ram was incredible as well! We really felt a strong connection with him by the end of our trek. He knew English really well and definitely knew everything about where we were and about the Himalayan culture on our trek.

What I thought was an exceptional job on his part was when I got sick when we were in Gokyo, we wanted to see if there was another route we could take that was just as scenic, just not to base camp, and he sat us down with a map and showed us where all we could go for the rest of our trek. We were left not having a single regret and not feeling like we missed out on base camp. Especially since we did make it to Gokyo!

Our Chitwan trip was the perfect way to relax after our long trek, Ammar booked us the Chitwan Village Resort and it was nothing short of amazing!

On our bus trip back from Chitwan, I somehow managed to forget our camera on the bus and didn’t realize it till an hour or so later, feeling defeated and terrible, Ammar was quick to call the bus company and they said they found it! So Ammar and his kind heart walked my husband down to the bus station at 6 am the next morning to retrieve it. I don’t think we would be able to get our camera back without him! I couldn’t imagine a more ideal way to visit another country. – Kandice Derby

Hello, I’m Patrick, Kandice’s husband. Prior to our arrival in this Nepal I didn’t quite know what to expect other than trekking followed by relaxation. When we arrived we were greeted by Ram and taken to Ammar’s home, after we formally met and he showed us around we settled in and caught up on some much-needed rest. The following day he took time out to address and questions or concerns, and that evening we met our guide to be and had ample time to get to know him.

The trip in its entirety was exceptional just as Kandice described, with our guide and Ammar taking time out for us whenever we felt we required something or anything further. The hospitality, in my opinion, is unmatched as Ammar and his entire family are very kind and forthcoming, I cannot recommend anyone else as I cannot vouch for their services. If you do just so happen to choose GT you will not be disappointed, the staff here even showed us around a busier part of the city where the market resides and even lent us a personal cellphone if we became lost, that’s unheard of!

If you have any other questions about the company or our experience please feel free to contact me at eight one six six five one zero four six zero. Thank you

We had the pleasure of doing the trekking with Raj Kumar (guide) and Susan (porter), and we can’t recommend them enough!

From the very first day, they were extremely helpful and flexible, always ready to adjust the route and daily plans to fit our needs and conditions!

We also had a lot of fun with them: beyond showing us stunning landscapes and sharing stories about Nepal and mountain life, they introduced us to the game Greed, which we now play with our friends back home!

If any of our friends decide to go trekking in Nepal, we’ll definitely recommend Raj and Susan — two kind, reliable, and fun people who made our adventure truly special. Thank you! 🙏🙂

The trek route was the most amazing significance of nature but was a bit difficult for us as we were not professional hikers, especially in those off the beaten. Gokyo Treks and expedition agency made everything easier.

Our guide plus cook was Kamal with two other porters Mundre and Dipendra were simply amazing. Had a very good food served in the Tent, highly recommend this agency to everyone. – Fabian Chinaglia, Rattenberg
