    Had a once-in-a-lifetime trekking experience to Everest Base Camp with our intrepid guide, Som. Som was fun to have around and hang out with, but he was also invaluable to our group for organizing our itinerary, booking lodgings and transportation, and making recommendations/adjustments to the schedule based on the unpredictable weather. Without our guide, our trek would have been significantly less enjoyable and maybe not even possible - Som pulled strings to get us lodging at the higher elevation settlements (Lobuche and Gorak Shep), despite the teahouses being exceedingly overbooked. We also managed to see an amazing sunset over Mt. Everest from the summit of Kala Patthar at 18,500ft that I will remember for the rest of my life. Had a great experience with this guide and trekking company and would highly recommend to others!

    My wife and I hiked the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp with Gokyo Treks. What an absolutely incredible experience!! We weren't sure how we would handle the altitude, but after wrapping up Annapurna and feeling great we decided to hike EBC as well. Ammar was fantastic to work with and always quick to respond, and our guide Som was amazing! Ammar and Som made us feel completely comfortable with what was ahead, and we always felt like we were in great hands. We learned so much from Som about the mountains and the culture of Nepal. Nepal is such a culturally rich country, and I'm so glad I got to experience it in such an authentic way. We also had porters, Dependra and Narendra (separately for each trek), and they were so helpful and kind. I'll always have fond memories of playing Nepali card games in the tea houses with Som and Dependra (even though Dependra always would win!) We talked to many other trekkers who had issues with their guides or tour agency, but Gokyo Treks gave us the trip of a lifetime. This is a truly professional company and they are experts at what they do. I'm already looking forward to another trip back to Nepal! Thank you guys for the most amazing experience!

    Professional agency, highly recommended! Ammar, the owner, was very helpful and clear when giving instructions and organising our trip. Our guide Bharat Dhakal is very special. He took care of us from day 1, he is very experienced and knows the Himalayas very well. He had a pivotal role in our trek and made our EBC experience unforgettable! Our porter Devon was also super nice and helpful. Overall, they make an excellent team! EBC trek - April 2023

    Highly recommended, finished the trek last week with a friend and had a super good time. the guide Bharat was super professional from the start and came across as more of a friend than just a guide. with the assistant porter Dev they are a great team and it was a memorable trek also for their help.

    In October 2022 I completed a 15-day Langtang – Gosaikunda trek organized by Gokyo Treks with Bharat Dhakal as a guide. This was my third trip with this company, and all of them were perfectly prepared by Ammar, the director of Gokyo Treks. (Btw. my previous review about my earlier two treks is from another account as Google does not allow to post more than one review from one account). The previous treks were in a group of 4-5 people, with one guide and a couple of porters. So, I was confident that this time I can also rely on Ammar and that I do not have to look any further. Indeed, advice and help were needed even before the trip started, as the originally planned Manaslu trail was impossible to do due to heavy rain and landslides in that area. Ammar personally spent a lot of time at the immigration office that issues trek permits where the situation was changing with incoming news from the mountains. Finally, we decided to go for Langtang and Gosaikunda treks. This time I was trekking alone with Bharat as a guide and Ram as a porter. They made a great team taking care of everything that was needed during the trek. Excellent choice of lodges, help with the meals, taking photos. Bharat was present all the time around me ready to help with anything I needed. One day he almost run to the next village to get a room when he learned on the trail that most of the lodges are booked. During day hikes days, such as to Tserko Ri, both Bharat and Ram were with me with Ram carrying my stuff, Bharat leading the group, and Ram at the end. This was very appreciated! Again, I can highly recommend Gokyo Treks and letting Ammar organize your trip!

    We got in touch with Ammar through friends in Germany who had done a trek with him a few years earlier and were very satisfied. The same was true for our trek: Ammar prepared the Annapurna Panorama Tour in a very professional way and always adapted it to our individual wishes. He also provided us with all the necessary support for our trekking equipment. His guide Bimal led us very carefully through the mountains and we had a lot of fun together. Nepal and especially the mountains left a deep impression on us. If we visit Nepal or the Himalayas again, we will definitely contact Ammar again.

    We got in touch with Ammar through friends in Germany who were very happy with the way he organised their trek. The same was true for our trek: Ammar prepared our trip to the Fishtail in a very professional way and adapted it to our individual wishes in a friendly way. His guide Bimal led us very carefully through the mountains and we had a lot of fun together. Nepal and especially the mountains have left a deep impression on us. If we visit Nepal or the Himalayas again, we will definitely contact Ammar. Regina from Germany

    We couldn't have chosen a better agency for ourselves. Everything was flawlessly organized from the moment we touched down in Kathmandu. Ammar, the owner, genuinely cares about your experience and goes the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. And we had the privilege of being guided by the most knowledgeable and personable individual we've ever encountered, Kamal. His expertise in the Himalayas, Nepal, its culture, and topography is truly remarkable, but it's his genuine kindness and passion for sharing his knowledge that truly sets him apart. Kamal is not just a guide; he's an exceptional human being. Absolute top notch!

    Ammar from Gokyo Treks is a wonderful business owner to work with. Hi is kind, knowledgeable and patient. We had to reschedule our trek at short notice twice and he was able to accommodate us. We really appreciated it! We were very unsure about what trek do do and Ammar listed to our concerns and he was confidently able to recommend the appropriate trek for is so that we would have a most enjoyable trek possible. We are sure that when we come back to Nepal again we we book our trek eith him again!!!

    We recently used Gokyo Treks on a 4 day trip to Nepal. We had 2 travel days, 1 day of city/ cultural tourism, and 1 day of hiking. From the moment we stepped off the plane and were greeted by our airport transfer, we knew we made the right choice. Our guide Ammar and all the Gokyo Treks staff we met were super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating in creating our personalized tour. The tour itself was top quality and even though short, I feel like I got a true taste of Nepal. I will definitely come back to Nepal and use this company again for a future tour!

    I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek and it was an mesmerizing experience! The trek itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with stunning views of the Himalayas and the opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture. The trek took me through a variety of landscapes, from lush forests to rocky terrain, and I was constantly amazed by the natural beauty around me. The highlight, of course, was reaching the base camp itself, with its sweeping views of the towering peaks and the Khumbu Glacier. It was a truly awe-inspiring moment that I will never forget. Throughout the trek, I was impressed by the professionalism and expertise of our guide (Mnirkumar Magar) and support staff (Shambu). They were knowledgeable about the area and its history, as well as attentive to our needs and safety. The accommodations and meals were also excellent, especially given the remote and rugged setting. Overall, I highly recommend the Everest Base Camp trek with "Gokyo Treks & Expeditions" to anyone seeking a challenging and rewarding adventure in one of the world's most spectacular mountain ranges. It was truly an experience of a lifetime!" Special thanks to Ammar Raj Guni (Director at Gokyo Treks & Expedition) for organising our trip.

    I recently went on an incredible Everest Base Camp trek with Gokyo Treks and Expedition. The entire experience from start to finish was amazingly organized and executed. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and so passionate about sharing the Nepali culture and history. They ensured we stayed safe, hydrated and fed during the longer hiking days. They made every effort to accommodate our interests and pace. The porters and support staff were extremely hardworking and kind. They cheerfully hauled our bags over steep passes and had a smile on every morning. You could feel their pride in showing us this magical place they call home. From the moment we landed in Lukla to the our way back from base camp, every detail was taken care of to make the trek perfect. They coordinated all permits, accommodations, meals, and transportation. I never had to worry about a thing. I would absolutely recommend Gokyo trek and expedition company to anyone wanting an unforgettable and stress-free Everest Base Camp trek.

    So first off, great choice in the Annapurna Panorama Trek, excellent views, delicious food, and let’s just say the trek was hard enough for me and I have hiked through the western US. Rajesh was my guide and I am sooooooooooooooo happy it was him!! He took excellent care of me, always made sure I felt okay, made sure I didn’t feel pressured with the pace, always made sure I had enough to eat. There are some pretty tough moments on this hike, even though sll of Nepal describes it as easy. Going downstairs for such long periods of time can be very challenging on one’s knees, but Rajesh made it as easy as he possibly could for me. I have to say, he always pick the right place to stay. That is not subjective, he actually took care of the pick the best room he could for me, made sure I was as comfortable as possible, and picked the best logistical location possible. I didn’t realize there would be so much to consider, but he considers all of it. You could also tell that Rajesh has an excellent reputation among tea house proprietors. He doesn’t drink or smoke, he maintains the highest professionalism, he knows he has to get up early and get his guests to their location safely. Uttam was my porter and he was strong and super accommodating! Very professional, and very accommodating. Really helped me out when I needed it! I also wanted to mention Ammar, every time I had to communicate to him from the states using WhatsApp, he always answered promptly and politely. He put together an excellent trip, as I also wanted to go to Chitwan national Park. Thank you everyone, I had an excellent time!!

    Amazing trekking with Bharat, my guider from Gokyo. The experience was fantastic, stopping in the most beautiful spots on the journey and doing the best paths. Really thanks to Gokyo and all the team for this experience. Thank you, Bharat, for the amazing time, taking care of me and guiding me through this adventure. Next time I am going to Nepal I am with you 100% again! 100% recommendable for someone that looks for a REAL experience with diverse culture and good friends.

    Amazing experience with Gokyo Treks and Expedition team. Ammar has organized private trek meeting our needs to Annapurna BC and Mardi Himal. We were accompanied by great guide Navaraj and strong porter Rajkumar. Both were very proffesional and helpful. Their hospitality was exceptional and we became very good friends. We highly recommend the team and look forward to future treks.

    Trekking in Nepal with Gokyo was an all around great experience, from conceptualizing and customizing our Manaslu circuit trek with Ammar (who was kind, helpful, and professional), to trekking with our guide Rajesh (who was not only a great guide but also a great friend!). I will 100% be recommending Gokyo to others and will also be trekking with them in the future.

    I did Annapurna Circuit Trek for my first time, it was well organized. I got an experience guide name Lila Tamang who really take very good care of me for the whole trip. February is off season, but I found an advantage of less trekkers and guesthouses are clean. Anyhow for your safety,I recommend to have guide when you do trekking in Nepal. And Gokyo Treks is your best choice.

    In March 2022, I completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Rajesh as my guide from Gokyo Treks & Expedition. It was absolutely beautiful and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Everyone in the company was extremely friendly and accommodating and helped us make a trip of a lifetime. I will definitely be returning to Nepal in the near future and will absolutely use Gokyo Treks again. I highly recommend them to anyone. They are truly the best!

    I am a Malaysian who did the 10-day Annapurna Base Camp trek alone with Ram as my guide. This was my first time in Nepal and I have to say that I am highly satisfied with Gokyo Treks. Ammar handled everything from the moment I landed in Kathmandu airport. I had nothing to worry about! The professionalism and hospitality was amazing! Ram was fantastic as my guide! And my Dhal Bhat buddy! He had very funny jokes and had the local knowledge to point out the things that I would have never noticed myself. He also always went out of the way to make sure I was taken care of all the time. I had a great time with these guys! At last, I would highly recommend Gokyo Treks to anyone looking to do a trek in Nepal.

    We were a family group of 7 Italians and visited Upper Mustang trekking with Gokyo Treks & Expedition. It was fantastic trip in my life we ever had. Personal with great support from our Mustang specialist guide Ammar, professional cook, Kitchen helper and porters were very helpful. We all came away great friends and we can recommend their Company Gokyo Treks & Expedition who makes it their business to provide you with a good and cost effective trip. We already use this company 4 times & this is our 5th time making the holidays with this agency. Thanks Gokyo Treks & Expedition arranging our precious trekking tours to Mustang, Nepal. - Zambotti Maria family, Milano Italy

    Me and my boyfriend lived a beautiful experience in Lamtang with this agency, with its super nice and professional guide, and with its kind and friendly porter. They were more than this...they became a part of our trip and people that ever We will remember. Thanks for your kindness and hospitality and for your professional work. Hope to came back soon for another amazing trek with you!

    Gokyo Treks were responsive and professional from start to finish, and I couldn't recommend them more. If you are looking to hike in the region, they will go the extra lengths to accommodate for your specific needs. Special thanks goes out to Rajesh - our super guide. He was everything we could have asked for from a guide; attentive, knowledgeable, kind, sociable. He made the 10 days that much more enjoyable for us and his infectious passion for the mountains elevated the experience up another notch.

    We had a wonderful trek with our guide Shreeram. He went above and beyond to provide a beautiful one day hike from Kakani to Bhanjyang, a short drive from Kathmandu. The walk itself was stunning - with regular, clear views of the Himalayas - and Shreeram was so helpful and friendly. It was also very easy to arrange the trek. Ammar, our point of contact, was clear and responsive. I would highly recommend Gokyo.

    Had an amazing experience with Gokyo. We went for High altitude trekking in Mardi Himal and Poon Hill. Every staff was cooperative and modified the plan at every step to suit our needs, without any extra charge. Best quality of service at a very budget price.

    I have completed two treks organized by “Gokyo Treks and Expeditions” in a group of 4-5 people, Annapurna Circuit, then Everest Three Pass. Mr Ammar Raj Guni, the owner, is very professional and dedicated; he had responded promptly to all our questions that we had before the trip. It was difficult to select an agency just from the internet. The responses that we received from Ammar were prompt and detailed and this had built our confidence in “Gokyo Treks”. And this was a very good choice! When we arrived to Kathmandu everything was already arranged for us: permits, tickets to Lukla for EBC trek, all the needed paperwork, meeting with the guide. The guides are very experienced, speak very good English, are social and patient, enjoy sharing their knowledge about local places and traditions. We spend a lot of time together, climbing the passes and trekking peaks as well as sharing our stories in the evenings. It is also important to mention that Ammar takes care of the hired porters making sure that they do not get overloaded and treated well. He contributes to the local community sponsoring children to get education and rebuilding a school after the earthquake.

    Twice I have had the pleasure of Experiencing the Most Incredible Treks with Gokyo Treks. From the moment I arrived in Nepal to the moment I left I was looked after like family by the Team at Gokyo Treks. Both Treks I had my own personal guide. The Team organised everything from arrival to departure. I'm lucky enough to have done a lot of travelling but nothing compares in my opinion to the Beauty of the Himalayas and the incredibly friendly Nepalese people. I can not recommend Gokyo Trek enough, both Treks were 2 of the most incredible adventures I have ever had and the Team at Goyko Trek went above and beyond to provide an incredible service. I can't wait to go back to Nepal very soon and Goyko Trek is the only Team I will be doing all future Treks in Nepal in the Himalayas with. I cannot thank them enough for the life-changing adventures I experienced !
