Reviews and Testimonials

Ammar and his team played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our trip to Gokyo and Everest Base Camp. From the early planning stages, Ammar promptly and thoroughly addressed all our queries, making the preparation process smooth and reassuring.

During the trek, our guides, Kamal and Som, proved to be exceptional and attentive. Their extensive knowledge of the Khumbu valley and close ties with local businesses enabled us to secure excellent accommodations at each stop along the way.

Their expertise also came to the forefront when some members of our group needed to detour to lower elevations. Kamal and Som swiftly rearranged a different program, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone.

For anyone considering a trek in the Everest region, I wholeheartedly recommend Ammar and his team. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care will undoubtedly make your journey an unforgettable and enriching experience.

In September, we embarked on an incredible journey, taking on the Manaslu Circuit with the addition of Tsum Valley. Throughout the trek, our guide, Bharat, proved to be an invaluable asset. His unwavering helpfulness and attentiveness to our needs, coupled with his extensive knowledge of the region and its customs, made the entire experience even more rewarding.

Undoubtedly, it was a challenging hike, but the beauty of the landscapes we traversed was simply breathtaking. Following the course of Budhi Gandaki river, we were mesmerized by the wonders of nature. The highlight was undoubtedly reaching the Larke Pass, an impressive mountain pass soaring at 5160 meters above sea level.

We are immensely grateful for this unforgettable adventure, and it wouldn’t have been the same without Bharat’s guidance and expertise. The memories of this remarkable journey will stay with us forever.

Gokyo Treks and Expeditions was exceptional. My friend and I went on a 14 day trek of Gokyo and EBC, and hired a guide through the company. Our guide Kamal made our trip incredible (request Kamal if you can, he’s the best!). He was so warm, caring, and knowledgeable. We learned so much from him about the mountains, Nepali culture, etc.

He went out of his way to take great care of us by making sure we got nicer rooms at lower rates. When my friend was having some altitude sickness symptoms, he knew exactly what to do and immediately took care of him. I don’t think our trip would have been nearly as rewarding and stress-free if not for Kamal!

Because we were not part of a big tour group, we could be flexible with our itinerary. This allowed us to spend more time in some places and keep going in others.

The booking process was also very smooth thanks to the owner, Ammar. He could be easily reached by WhatsApp any time we had a question during the booking/planning process.

Organized by the company we had one guide, a guide/porter, and an additional 2 porters between the 5 of us. Really great bunch to help us along the trek making sure we had everything we needed, calling ahead to book accommodation, organizing our food, and also internal flights.

They can pretty much accommodate anything if you ask and are all very knowledgeable about the trek in Nepal. In addition, they were all great to just hang out with and have a laugh.. Truly unforgettable experience. Thank you all very very much

It was a pleasure to trek with Gokyo Treks from the beginning to the end. The three of us spent the whole month in Nepal and got a little bit of everything. Planning was such a breeze. Normally my girlfriend plans out the itinerary, but since we were really busy in the months before the trip, we decided to go with an agency for the treks we wanted to do. In the month leading up to the trip, we were in constant contact with Ammar to plan the treks. We told him what we wanted and he made it happen.

Once we met up with Ammar in Kathmandu, he went through the itinerary and broke down the cost for the treks and for the days. He was very transparent and detailed with the price. We knew how much we were paying for everything at all times.

The itinerary was well planned for both treks. It was not rushed and we had plenty of time to acclimatize (very useful if you are coming from sea level). Bimal was our guide and we had an amazing time with him. We meshed really well with him on ABC and we asked if he could join us on the Gokyo Ri trek. He always made sure we were taken care of and feeling well throughout the hike. This mattered a lot at higher altitudes (especially for me). He was a great guide who taught us a lot about the culture and the mountains and it was a pleasure to trek and hang out with him.

Overall, I would highly recommend Gokyo Treks. Without Ammar and his team, we would have been very lost. They made it very easy to just go Trek and not worry about the headache of booking and planning everything. Next time we visit Nepal, we will definitely use Gokyo Treks again.
