Guest feedback / testimonials

This is Merlo Carlo currently working in Milan, Italy. I would like take this opportunity to all last September i was in Panchase village doing a home stay trekking with hiring a guide and porter form Gokyo Treks. We were 4 people from Italy by this time.  It was conducted from Pokhara fewa lake side and ends at Fewa lake side Pokhara via Ghorepani – Punhill.  It was a nice excursion with scenic trip to Panchase village. Guide Krishna Gurung and porter Mundre were fantastic, good food and nice accommodation along the trekking routes. If anyone wants to do this trek i would surely recommend using this company.
