  Just returned from an unforgettable Gokyo Ri trek organised by Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The logistics were seamless — from airport pickups to domestic flights, hotels, and meals — everything was sorted without us ever needing to worry. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, Bishnu. He’s one of those people who genuinely cares — not just about logistics, but about how you're doing each day. He made sure we were adjusting well to the altitude, kept checking in on us, and was always happy to adjust the plan to suit our pace and comfort. Little things, like offering us fruit each evening, really made us feel looked after. What stood out most was Bishnu’s honesty and the level of trust he built from day one. Everything was clearly explained upfront and remained consistent with the itinerary — no hidden costs, no surprises. It was obvious that his goal wasn’t to upsell or rush us through the trek, but to give us a meaningful and enjoyable experience. You could really feel his pride in sharing the mountains and his culture with us. Some of the most memorable parts of the trek weren’t just the insane views, but the downtime — the chats over dinner, the shared stories, the laughs after a long day of walking. Bishnu’s warmth made the whole thing feel personal and grounded. Our route took us through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Dole, Machhermo, and Gokyo — each destination presenting its own unique charm with evolving landscapes. The pinnacle was an unforgettable sunrise hike up Gokyo Ri, blanketed in snow. We ended the trip in Kathmandu with a traditional dinner and cultural performance, which was such a beautiful way to wrap things up. The price for the whole package was very fair, especially for the unreal level of care, personalisation and attention we received. If you're planning a trek in Nepal, I can’t recommend Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure and Bishnu enough. You’ll be in great hands.

  We recently completed the Gokyo Ri trek with Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our guide, Bishnu, was at the heart of it all - professional, warm, and incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we arrived in Nepal, he took care of everything: airport pickups and drop-offs, domestic flights, hotel bookings, trek accommodations, and all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Upon arrival in Lukla, Bishnu arranged a porter to help with our bags. Then every evening, without fail, Bishnu offered us an apple and pomegranate - a simple yet heartfelt gesture that reflected his deep hospitality. He remained flexible with the itinerary, adjusting to our needs and checking in regularly to ensure we were acclimatising well and feeling supported. One of the things we appreciated most was Bishnu’s honesty and integrity. He was completely transparent about costs from the beginning - there were no hidden charges or unexpected add-ons. It was clear that his focus was on delivering a meaningful and comfortable experience, rather than on profit. His approach built trust immediately, and we always felt respected and valued as guests. Bishnu truly embodied the Nepalese belief that “Guest is God.” Beyond guiding us through the Himalayas, he shared his culture, values, and personal stories with us. We didn’t just complete a trek - we built a friendship. In the evenings, we laughed, played cards, and had deep conversations that made the experience even more memorable. Our itinerary: Day 1: Kathmandu to Ramechhap, to Lukla to Phakding Day 2: Phakding to Namche Bazaar Day 3: Acclimatisation in Namche Bazaar Day 4: Namche Bazaar to Dole Day 5: Dole to Machhermo Day 6: Machhermo to Gokyo Day 7: Acclimatisation & sunrise trek to Gokyo Ri Day 8: Return journey We ended the adventure with a traditional farewell dinner in Kathmandu, complete with live cultural dance performances - a beautiful way to conclude the journey. Throughout the trek, we learned so much - not only about Nepal and its breathtaking landscapes, but also about ourselves, Nepalese culture, and the importance of humility and character, much of which we saw reflected in Bishnu himself. The total package was very reasonably priced compared to other companies, especially considering the level of care and personal attention we received. If you’re considering a trek in Nepal, we wholeheartedly recommend Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure and Bishnu. You’ll be guided with expertise, treated with genuine kindness, and walk away with memories - and friendships - that will last a lifetime.

  While we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the rush for longer, due to the weather and a potential cancellation, the jump and scenery was awesome! The air-dropped video of it all was also instant and a great memory to have.
