    The 12 Day Gokyo Valley trek was more incredible and exciting than I imagined. The route is perfect for trekking and views of Gokyo lake, Mount Everest, and surrounding snow-clad mountains is breathtaking and awesome. Trekking at different altitudes, It feels me like walking on a different world, landscapes and terrain. Our Guide Ram and Porter Dorje help a lot on this trekking. Ram told us, Gokyo and its valley in detail. We know a lot of things From our guide during Gokyo Valley Trek. The perfect part is that Nepali peoples are warm and friendly. Our Tour operatorSherpa Expedition and Trekking arrange all of this without worrying us. Provided service is good and we enjoy a lot in this trek. At last, thanks to our guide Ram and the entire team of Sherpa Expedition and Trekking team doing a great job. You must visit this place. Once is not enough.

    My boyfriend and I hike the Gokyo Valley trek this previous month. We had an amazing experience on one of the most beautiful trails in the world, with a super guide and his co-assistant. Thanks to Sherpa Expedition Teams.

    We had great time in Nepal and in Khumbu Valley.We enjoyed every bit of it and Gokyo lakes were just phenomenal. Crossing Chola Pass was challenging but the valley it lead was gergous. We captured great pictures and hopefully we be there again.Every credit goes to guide Wangchu sherpa, his team and Uma Holidays Travel for this superb trip

    I am glad that I have chose this route. It is the best view along the trek. Nothing beats the great view despite the early morning start without breakfast (which was a wrong decision). Making it to Gokyo is more fulfilling than reaching EBC in my personal opinion!

    My name is Don Munday and I undertook a 16 day Base Camp trek via Gokyo. The tour company was Uma Holidays and my guide was Ram Sherpa. Uma Holidays organized a memorable trip and the Ram geable, humble, friendly and very attentive. Ram went out of his way to ensure that my trek of a lifetime was the best it could be. Ram receives my highest recommendation.

    We hired 2 porters from Uma Holidays for 13-day Gokyo Trek and all went well. I asked tons of questions prior to the trip and always got prompt and informative answers. The porters are also nice guys (English could be better) and worked hard.

    We(Me & my friend) had a tight schedule with only for 2 weeks visit in Nepal and wanted to do a trek to Gokyo lake Trek.Everything is provided service is great and our guide Sonam Sherpa is best to guide with his friendly nature and good knowledge of Gokyo village and around. Being more than 50 years, I felt tired during trekking but We slowly trek to reached Gokyo Lake. That was best panorama views of Gokyo lake and village as a heaven. Close view of Mount Everest and other mountains that was definitely unforgettable memories. Everything provides service(food, accommodation) is good during trekking. Overall our trip was fantastic with help of Uma Holidays Travels and Tours.
