What people love about Gokyo Valley Trek Tours
- Gokyo Valley Trek
We just back from Gokyo Lake trekking (April 2019). This is my Third time using service of Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. Ram, the owner, is really nice, he always do his best to serve customers. We’ve got everything we requested. We also trek with same guide as last year, wangchu Sherpa ; he’s very good guide, with sense of humor and good service mind. We’d definitely visit Nepal again and using Sherpa Expedition and trekking service.
- Gokyo Renjola Pass Trek
The Gokyo Renjola Pass trek was fantastic and the scenery surprisingly varied but absolutely stunning at every turn. It was very well organised and all you had to do was ensure you had sufficient warm clothing (because it was very cold, including in the tea houses). I would recommend this to anyone looking for an challenging adventure and incredible cultural experience.
- Gokyo Valley Trekking 12 Days
We had an awesome trek up to Gokyo and Gokyo Ri with our Guide Ram and Lakpa. Had heaps of snow over a few days that set the scene for some amazing views. Thanks to Ram and his team for all their help and making things so easy for us. Will definitely be back.
