Gokyo Lakes Trek Tours in October 2025

What an amazing adventure, run by absolute professionals, who know the country and all its seasonal challenges. Every member of the support team were amazing and worked so hard. Very gratefull, especially given the timing of our journey and a natural disaster - we were so blessed on a daily basis.

Everything done right! Great leader (thanks Rishi!) and sherpa guides, Mr Meck and Mr Gopal ... lots of thought went into the menus and what we would need, and care was taken to ensure we were all managing the daily walks and were remaining healthy. Loved the whole thing - thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Wow - what an incredible experience. It’s not always about where you go, but who you travel with. Rishi, Gopal & Mr Mec we’re outstanding and made our journey a memorable one

This experience was life altering in the most spectacular way. We had an exceptional group of local team members who kept us safe, taught us so much not only culturally but also physically given the environment was beyond our lived experiences and amazed us with their professionalism. I could not recommend World Expeditions and their guides enough.

I chose World Expeditions over other companies for my adventure for the following reasons; Their itinerary was the longest for my chosen trek, allowing more time to acclimatise. I liked their ethical approach to trekking in this remote region. The provision of meals, boiled water, and high value items such as down sleeping bags and jackets meant several key areas were taken care of by experts allowing me to focus on trekking. Whilst trekking, issues inevitably were encountered, and how these were dealt with further impressed me, for example; This years monsoon season was quite hard and longer than usual, grounding pretty much all internal flights as we were due to start. Our guide reacted to this brilliantly, and instead of chasing elusive & expensive helicopter flights, managed to source what turned out to be 1 of only a couple of flights to an alternative airstrip followed by a 4x4 trip to get the group to a suitable start point. Our group was also very diverse with regard to individual abilities, but nothing was too much trouble and lots of minor adjustments were made to ensure everybody both enjoyed and completed the entire trek. A final example of standing out was on the day we trekked through the Cho La pass, a particularly long, challenging and cold day. Our guide recognised this and arranged for the Porters and Kitchen staff to set up a remote kitchen tent in a valley on the far side of the pass and provide us with hot drinks & soup etc in addition to our packed lunches - this was incredible to be sat at over 5000m in the absolute middle of nowhere taking on warm refreshments whilst others just passed by! I would have no hesitation in both using World Expeditions again or recommending them to others.

Just completed the Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri, Cho-La and EBC treks with this local travel expert and had an unforgettable experience. Throughout the whole process Chhatra was an impressive communicator - very responsive, simple, clear and informative. Our guide (Rinji) and porter (also Rinji !!) were incredibly flexible in helping us make the impossible, possible - whilst always looking out for our health and wellbeing. I cannot more highly recommend this agency for your Himalaya adventure - the whole team was truly incredible - experienced, knowledgable and well connected to all the best places to stay along the way. We had such an epic trip... Thanks Chhatra, Rinji's and team... Matt
