Reviews and Testimonials

A colleague of mine recommended Ammar and his agency Gokyo Treks and Expedition highly for our hike in the Himalayas in October 2021.

We search his company via google and asked various questions. The agency owner Ammar Guni answered all of our questions quickly which was very important for us to prepare for our private trip over the high passes in Annapurna and Manaslu. He advised what to bring and how to prepare hiking gears to cross Larkya la and Thorong la pass without AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness).

He asked for a trip deposit in advance to avoid any troubles while getting a Nepal visa. We have booked almost everything like a guide, a porter, all permits, and the guest houses en route. Ammar made all hiking permits and sent them via email.

We got a Nepal visa easily and quickly made all permits. We did Larkya La pass and Thorong la pass without any sickness. Our guide Lila and Bude Waiwa porter were just friendly. Reaching Muktinath temple, the weather turned bad, with no sunny clouds. So canceled Jomsom flights and went to Pokhara by Bus. All in all, everything went well and we enjoyed our trip very much.

Thank you Ammar and his team of Gokyo Treks Agency providing us with great staff, we highly recommend your agency to everyone

We have booked an Everest base camp trek with a Gokyo Treks and Expedition, a local agency in Nepal. Like other trekking, we choose a guide Bishnu Panday for our Everest holiday. Although it is a peak season there were very less trekkers in the region because of covid-19 travel restrictions.

Ammar, the owner of the agency was friendly and answered all of my questions, and offered a cheaper deal to us. Luckily we had good weather, a perfect Lukla flight, and also from base camp, we achieved the most amazing view of Khumbu Icefall and little stone stupas, an open memorial park of death climbers.

Besides trekking, Ammar took us to a world heritage site of Kathmandu. Thanks, Ammar for arranging a great trip for us. We are hoping to be back for the next adventure in the coming spring season in Nepal.

I was lucky to have Ammar Guni as my guide for Nagarkot and Bhaktapur tours. It was a great experience. We had a great morning with fine views of snowy peaks. The nature walk from Telkot to Changu Narayan was beautiful to see fertile lands and bricks factory but encountered with some drops of rains in between.

He took me through a really nice and easy route and it was an experience I’ll never forget. If you have a chance to go and hike with him you won’t regret it.

We couldn’t recommend Gokyo Treks more highly. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organized for us. When we first arrived at the busy Kathmandu airport we had to queue with hundreds of others to get our visas but our driver patiently waited for us outside. We were then taken to our comfortable hotel in Thamel for the night and Ammar gave us the rundown of our tour (with a welcome tea on arrival, of course). Ammar is a seasoned professional and will happily help answer any questions you may have prior to or during your trip.

For our trek, we had the fantastic Som as our tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Som has been with Gokyo Treks since the start and is so passionate about his job and sharing stories about Nepal. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge, but he also deeply cares for his clients and will go above and beyond to make sure you have well looked after. Not only that but he is hilarious!

When you are trekking together for 16 days, you need a light-hearted tour guide who you can share a laugh with, and Som will happily smile and laugh with you. Our porter Buddi was also fantastic. Although we can’t speak the same language, Buddi has a smile that will light up a room and makes you feel so welcome every day when he comes to collect your bags. By the end of the tour, we are more than just clients- we are now lifelong friends. If you are looking for an authentic Nepalese experience, book Gokyo Treks.

Embarking on the 6-day Panchase Trek through the Annapurna region was a journey filled with absolute wonder. The views we encountered along the way were nothing short of amazing, with the landscape constantly transforming from serene rice fields to majestic snow-capped mountains.

Our trek was made even more memorable and informative thanks to Ram, our exceptional guide. His wealth of knowledge about the region and its history added depth to our experience. Ram’s familiarity with the area ensured that we always stopped at the best tea houses for delicious food and comfortable lodging.

I can’t recommend Ram and the Gokyo Trek team highly enough to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. Their expertise and impeccable service made the entire journey unforgettable, and I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories we created together.
