Reviews and Testimonials

The Annapurna Circuit trek was completely fabulous with Gokyo Treks! Our guide and porters were so kind, respectful, and fun! We really felt like a big family by the end. We always felt especially cared for and attended to. The homestay was a truly special aspect too.

I strongly recommend Gokyo for its professionalism, exceptional service, and kindness. We had lots of laughs and smiles all along the way!

We were a group of four (my wife, our daughter, and her boyfriend) and we started on October 20th from Kathmandu, flying into Lukla and trekking for 16 days up Everest base camp and Kalapattar. This was our third time of trekking in Nepal before we had been in Langtang/Gosainkund and in the Annapurna region up to ABC, and the Everest region is certainly the most spectacular one. But, obviously, trek over three passes route is also the most crowded one.

Ammar had been a perfect guide for us, extremely helpful in choosing the proper lodges, getting our food ready in time, and just making life as easy and entertaining as possible. Although he is young, he has a lot of experience in these regions, and, what is very helpful, a lot of friends among the locals. This can be useful: for example, the boss at the airport in Lukla is his friend. You might have heard of problems arising in Lukla when the weather is bad for several days and the planes cannot fly.

Then tourists are getting nervous because they might miss their international flights. And here Ammar´s friend would be very helpful and find you a place on a plane for flying out. Furthermore, Ammar´s rates are quite decent, much cheaper than when you book with one of the large trekking organizations. And finally, he managed to choose three porters for us who were the best we had.

They even came back several times, after they had reached the day’s destination, to help us with our own bags. I had never experienced that with other porters we had so far. Don´t hesitate to ask further questions, I am happy to answer, and had a good time there. Best wishes, and namaste (as training for Nepal ) – Ingeborg and Hannes from Austria

We were a group of 3 Germans (me, my wife, a daughter) and we started on October 20th from Kathmandu to Pisang peak climbing tour. Ammar made almost everything reservation for our trip such as flight tickets, private coach, private jeep (of course we paid extra cost), hotel reservation, and booked clean rooms along the trek.

Ammar welcomed us at Tribhuwan international airport (TIA), and picked us up to the center point of Thamel. Meeting our mountain guide Pasang, we arranged all the hiking gears together.

3 of our other porters recruited from the agency also. They recognized almost all lodges and the local people. They were strong, friendly, and easy-going.

Furthermore, Ammar´s rates are quite decent, much cheaper comparing others. Don´t hesitate to ask further questions, I am happy to answer, and had a good time there. Best wishes, and namaste from – Gehard sommer & Family Thuringia, Germany
