Reviews and Testimonials

This is my second excellent trekking experience with Gokyo Treks in Nepal. We planned to do EBC + Gokyo but we couldn’t fly to lukla due to bad weather. Luckily our guide Kamal KC arranged a jeep to Phaplu. The walk from Phaplu to Lukla is amazing as you can see the real villages and how prople lives.

Regarding, our guide, Kamal, we are so grateful. He has so many years of experience in the Himalayas. He help us all the time and explained everything about the mountains and villages. He also selected very good lodges that were warm and clean. Furthermore, we needed to go to visit a doctor and he arranged an appointment quickly in a very good medical center. Basically, he became a very good friend of us during this trek.

Overall, the treking to Gokyo was amazing, and we had incredible views to many mountains and lakes. If you are looking for a serious company you can trust Gokyo Treks. Ammar (owner) did a very good job planning the Trek and provided the best guide that we know in Nepal.

We couldn’t recommend Gokyo Treks more highly. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organized for us. When we first arrived in 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 are 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 everyday 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.

With Gokyo treks guide I was trekking Tamang Heritage Trail. This was my third time I was using this agency. As always I had the perfect guide Bishnu,which provided safe and comfortable trek experience. In addition the guide taught me yoga. You cannot ask for more.

We had a fantastic 7 day trek to Gosaikunda lake organised by Gokyo trek. Our itinerary was thoroughly planned, tying in all our wishes for a good price (airport transfer, lodging and meals all included). Our guide, Bishnu, was great! He showed us the region and was happy to mix up the pace as we wished, – he even taught us yoga in the mornings and evenings which was great for sore muscles! The teahouse accommodation was perfect for the trek, and the trek itself had a nice mix of terrain and scenery. Although your legs may feel it afterwards, I would highly recommend.

We were in Nepal for the first time. We decided to have a tour around one of the highest mountains in the world. The organization of that agency was perfect.

Rajesh, the guide that have the tour with us, was very careful about what we needed and about what we wanted to do: during the trek we decided to go to the Manaslu High Camp also. Despite the fact that it was not included in the program, but it was not a problem to change the itinerary.

It was one of the most amazing experiences of our life. There was a porter with us also, Krishna, Altogether we walked for more than 100 km in the heart of the Himalayas in a not entirely known trek, across rain forests, and Nepalese villages with unbelievable views and the Larkya La.

We suggest it !!! And Tibetan bread also 😉
