  • 10 days Gokyo Valley Trek reviewer 1
    · November 21st, 2019
    Summary: Office, guide and porter did well for a safe and smooth trip. Big thank you for these efforts. But it was a not the fun relaxed atmosphere I was expecting, rather professional cold and high consumption pressure. Since I travelled a long way to Nepal, spent my precious vacation time and lots of money for that trip, I feel responsible also towards other trekkers to write an honest, critical review. Especially since most other reviews here probably are manipulated, see below. Good: - Itinerary and Organisation was good. Safety was given all the time, the guide took care for my well-being by asking, observing and walking slowly - Transport Lukla - Katmandu was excellent; we had a direct transportation, whereas other companies start from a different airport which requires a 4h Jeep ride additionally. Bad: - Walk alone: My main motivation to book with N.E.A was that they told me we would be a group of 4 members for Gokyo lake - I had approached several other trekking companies. But that was wrong: 2 people cancelled in the last second, and the other member took the different route to Everest, so that I was alone most days. Ironically, just 1 day after me, NEA launched another Gokyo group! We could easily have been merged, since I had explicitly and written stated my flexibility and desire to trek in a group. That wish was not considered. - Cold atmosphere: The guide continued to call me “Sir” which in English sounds distanciated and professional, but my explanations didn’t help. In the restaurants he used to chose the table most far away from other people, even to people I already was talking to, so that we sat alone! When I was eating, my guide just sat beside me and watching instead of joining in - he would always eat separately with his Sherpa friends. - Economical interests: in my impression, most Restaurants and Lodges were chosen based on the guides friends and acquaintances. That became obvious sometimes. Normally no problem - But some places were not really dark, shabby, bad view etc, and when I suggested a different place with beautiful view terrace, we couldn’t go there. Especially the lodge for the last night (Everest plaza) is shabby and leaves a bad memory - Pressure for consumption: As soon as we arrived in a restaurant, while I was still recovering from the trek, I was pushed a menu in my hands and asked “what do you want to drink”? It created a weird setting, my guide always ordered, served the drinks and also managed the payments. I usually never talked directly to any restaurant owner, although they sometimes were really friendly and made good food! - Manipulation of review: The guide pushed hard that we write the review together on the last evening, and he even wanted to explain me what to write. So I assume many of the reviews here were written in this setting, not neutral. Of course I did not accept that method and wrote this very honest review quite some days later. Of course I tried to improve these issues during the trek, but after all it were too many points, and I didn’t want to spent my trekking time with discussions. I saw quite some groups with similar settings as above - but these were groups, so the cold economical motivated atmosphere doesn’t show so strongly. Next time I will walk with my friends or alone without guide - but still I am thankful for the good experience and the safe hike.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • What is the difference between tea-house trekking and camping trekking tours in Nepal?

      In Nepal, generally, you can do two types of trekking by staying in tea-houses or camping. In the tea-houses trekking tours, you will do the trekking by resting the night at the lodges or the tea houses at different places on the trekking trails.

    • Are visa required?

      Regarding Visa advice, we recommend contacting your local embassies for the most up to date information about Visas required in these countries. As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot be an effective and accurate visa authority as this information is regularly being updated and varies for the nationality of one traveller to the next.
      It is for this reason that we recommend checking your local embassy or consulate’s website for the latest up to date information. We’ll happily provide you with the trip notes for this tour which may contain some guidance regarding Visa requirements for some nationalities, but in most cases, Visas will remain the responsibility of the individual traveller.

      If you require additional accommodation this can be arranged for you before and after the tour, please contact our team of Travel Experts for further information and to check the availability.

    • Are you able to organise airport transfers?

    • Do the porters carry the luggage on the treks?

      Generally, each trekker will carry a small day-bag, fleece jacket, waterproofs, warm hat, sunhat, sunscreen and a water bottle.

    • How do you treat altitude sickness?

      Altitude sickness can be one of the problems you occur whilst you trek the high altitudes of Nepal. However, there are certain measures that can be applied while trekking at high altitudes which help trekkers to avoid altitude sickness altogether. If you seem to get altitude sickness your guide has several provisions for first aid and medicines to help you recover as soon as possible.

    • What essential documents/items do you require to join a tour?

      On any of the tours you must bring a valid passport (must be valid for up to 6 months, keep an extra photocopy just in case), a copy of your travel insurance, cash, flight tickets, emergency contact numbers of insurance and family members and any medications.

    • What types of food will be served during the treks?

      While trekking in Nepal, meals are prepared in tea houses with a good standard of hygiene, including fruit and vegetables which are soaked in iodine water before being cooked. The food along the trail will be simple and a mix of local and international cuisine. If the trekking is camping trekking, then you will mainly be served the local foods of Nepal as well as continental and western foods. Due to the lack of electricity and refrigerators along the trekking routes, you will eat a largely vegetarian diet.
