Reviews and Testimonials

My son suggested a hike in the Everest area and I jumped at the chance. We study about five companies and settled with Gokyo Treks & Expedition after checking out staff insurance, trip reviews, and licensing of the companies. Finally, we found this company as a genuine tour operator and we book everything with Ammar and his agency. Ammar met us on our arrival at the hotel and ensured our guided trip to Kathmandu for the second day went well.

Bimal was our guide, he met us at the airport and brought us to our hotel. He led us to the airport for the short flight to Lukla getting us through customs swiftly. We spent 16 days with him; he was remarkable the whole journey taking care of our needs and keeping us safe.

We had asked Ammar to put us in the best lodges and he did modify a better guesthouse with a cost difference. Overall we had an excellent adventure and I would recommend using Gokyo Treks travel agency for any trip to Nepal. – Henry and Vanessa Robbins, Zermatt, Switzerland

The nature park hike was absolutely awe-inspiring! The landscape appeared untouched and utterly beautiful. The highlight was undoubtedly the hour we spent at Suryachour – it was truly worth it.

We took a coffee break while marveling at the majestic mountains in all their splendor. The entire experience left us in complete awe of nature’s wonders.

After a week’s trek in Langtang panorama, Ammar suggested for Mountain flight to see all the high mountains just in an hour. So we decided to choose this open at the last minute before we return home.

Ammar, owner of Gokyo agency helped with all booking for the Everest Mountain flight in yeti air and also arranged a private transfer from Thamel to the airport and back.

The flight over the massive Himalayas is gorgeous. Taking mountain photograph from window seats are not wonderful. You alternate peering out the pilot’s window which is vastly improved – you see a bigger view and the windows are clear for taking pictures. The pilots and specialists are truly decent about bringing up the different mountains.

The Island Peak Climb was an awesome experience! Fur Galzen, our fantastic Sherpa guide, was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful throughout the journey. He was always eager to capture great pictures for everyone, adding an extra special touch to our adventure.

Moreover, the agency provided excellent suggestions for hiking and climbing equipment, including where to buy or rent them. This was incredibly helpful, ensuring that we had the right gear for the muddy trails without ruining our shoes.

All in all, the honesty of the agency and the friendliness of our Sherpa guide made this trip a must-do experience. We are truly grateful for such a remarkable and memorable climb to Island Peak.

We have just returned back home from Nepal, where we trekked the Gokyo Lake and back over Renjo la pass for 10 days. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we were warmly welcomed by Ammar and his family where we stayed for a few nights.

Also, when the flight was cancelled, Ammar suggested us to go to the Chitwan National Park first (which we planned at the end), and it was a very good choice, because when we came back the weather was good again. So while other travelers would transfer from hotel to the airport and back, we enjoyed the wild life 🙂 .

Our guide was also very nice and like a friend who is travelling with us. 🙂 and since we weren’t in a big group we could change our trekk to the other side of Renjo La Pass, but hiking the same way down… we had a wonderful time and are very satisfied
