Guest feedbacks / testimonials : -

I booked this trek with Ammar and Gokyo Trek and Expedition following the good reviews in the internet... Excellent and informative initial contact with him and really good options given to us as first time visitors to Nepal and first time trekkers. Ammar recommended the Helambu circuit for an 8-9 day trek, a less travelled trail, close to Kathmandu. This met our requirement for close contact with the locals in the mountains and a real cultural experience. Really enjoyable trek - recommend Helambu if you want to experience the 'real Nepal' rather than a commercial trek packed with tourists. However, the facilities are extremely basic as a result (we were warned about this and had no problem with it, but just be aware) and the views perhaps not as spectacular as other parts of the Himalaya (but the company caters for all options and areas). Our guide and porter cared us as if we were family. At every lodge they made sure we had everything we needed. We were always invited to eat in the kitchen, where many of the other tourists were eating in the dining area, and this allowed us a proper insight into mountain life, which was just what we were after. The itinerary was just right, with a good balance of walking time, a rest for lunch, and time to relax in the evenings. Really nice feel to this company - Ammar is very reliable, efficient and professional and we would travel with them again.
