Clients feedback / Testimonials :

After many hours of researching trekking agency via the internet. I decided on Gokyo Treks & Expedition. I had seen some good reviews from other travelers but was most impressed by the good words spoken by solo female travelers. Being a solo female myself my safety and comfort were of great concern. I must say from beginning to end Gokyo Treks & Expedition have been wonderful. They were waiting at the airport when I arrived, stayed in Bhaktapur and had also sightseeing over the city. During the trek, we did guest houses along the way. Views from Renjola summit was superb. My guide Krishna was also fantastic and easy going. I always felt safe and well looked after overall.
I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a very memorable, excellent adventure holiday in Nepal. Thank you so much
