Base Camp Traveler’s Review
ABC and Poon Hill
Our experience with Gokyo treks & expeditions was nothing short of exceptional. Our guide Kamal was not only incredibly professional and always had our safety and best interests in mind, but he was also one the kindest people we’ve ever met. I feel privileged to spent 9 days with him and I appreciate all of the organisation of Ammar, which meant there was not a single hiccup throughout the journey.
Thank you once again.

Great tour to Anapurna Base Camp region
I started planing my trek to ABC well in advance, around September 2018, thinking to continue towards Mustang area after coming down from the ABC trek.
Amar Raj was very helpful during the preparation stage of the trek, suggesting from the beginning that my travel dates (mid March to Early April), were not optimal for getting to ABC. Closer to my travel, and knowing snow conditions close to ABC Amar Raj suggested that I change my plans to Mardi Himal trek.
Upon my arrival to Kathmandu, Ammar invited me to spend the night at a guest room in his house, allowing me a glimpse at the daily life of Nepali people. I had a great evening having supper with his family, learning about life in Nepal.
My trek guide/porter was Lila Bahadur Tamang. Speaking good English, he was able to explain me many aspects of sights we saw during the hike. He was very supportive, had great knowledge of the trails, and very accommodating to changes in the hike plan. I eventually decided to try going to the ABC, even knowing that it may not be possible to get to the camp itself. We got to Hinku cave and decided it may not be safe enough to continue.
Again I wish to thank Amar Raj, his team and my Guide Lila for a great vacation.

ABC Trek with Gokyo Treks
My Travel made and I hiked the ABC trek through Gokyo Treks and it was a wonderful experience. We were very thankful for our guide Lila, as he took great care of us. Our experience would not have been the same without him, especially as it was during monsoon season and we had to take a few detours because of rain.
Gokyo treks is a reputable and honest company, and they did everything they could to make our trip the best possible. I would highly recommend
