Gokyo Everest Base Camp Trek

AMAZING!!! Everyone we met through this company was just incredible and went above and beyond. Suman was our guide and he is the absolute the sweetest. He made the trek unforgettable. He is so knowledgeable - we felt so safe with him and he had an answer to everything! The prep chats the night before were the best. He made sure we knew what to expect the next day, and made sure we were always ok. Ramesh was also the greatest. He made us laugh so much and spent so much time with us. It was such a treat overall. We hiked to base camp and then to Gokyo Lake. It was a beautiful trek. We did need medical help and Suman made sure everything went so smoothly. Prior to the trek, we were in contact with Upendra, who was always prompt to respond, very kind, organized, and detailed. I cannot recommend them enough!!! Thank you for this wonderful experience!!!

The trek was incredible, but unfortunately I wish I had booked with a different company. My guide, who after a week was still asking me what my name was, started off saying that this was his first trek of the season and he was out of shape, which meant that for the first couple of days he was often walking behind me, and that he did not think that I was going to be such a strong hiker. I had spent months preparing for this trek and came to challenge myself, and was disappointed that my guide was always behind me or ahead of me when I had a question. There was also an issue of being told there were no hot showers in the entire village we stayed at one night but when I went to the tea house next door they had an indoor shower with hot water, and my guide seemed like he had taken me to the cheapest tea house in the village and was not wanting me to realize the quality of the places around us. The entire way my guide was either behind me or ahead of me, I was unable to ask a lot of questions and learned more from other guides that were actually guiding the groups they were with, and just felt like my guide wasn’t very interested in making sure I had the trek that I wanted. If I could do the trek again I would have like to have met and got to know my guide before hand and found someone who wasn’t expecting someone slow and out of shape and was up for a challenge as well as taking the time to really explain the landscape and surroundings. They company provided a sleeping bag and everything needed, the porter was wonderful, but my experience with my guide was not great.

We did this trek on October. The itinerary was well managed and the accommodation and food suited our needs perfectly. Thank you for an amazing experience! Excellent service. Exceeded my expectations. With the help our guide Lok Tamu, who was really fun and amazing, we had a wonderful and memorable trek from the moment we landed in Kathmandu all the way to EBC, Chola Pass and Gokyo and back. He is very helpful in taking photo and video. I dont think it would have been possible without the help of him. Lok is a highly qualified guide. He is very knowledgeable about the local conditions, the local people and the culture. I would highly recommend this local travel specialist and our guide Lok Tamu to anyone who wants to trek in Nepal.
