What our adventurers say
We took the Gokyo Ri & Renjo La pass trek. Our guides Resham, Milan and Sunil were amazing, ensuring we were cared for and were fun companions, and porter Kumar climbed snowy slopes in sneakers.

The views from Gokyo Ri, Kala Patthar, Kongma La Pass and Island Peak were stunning. Our guide Raj Kumar really cared for our wellbeing and organised everything perfectly, including an earlier flight back to Ramechhap.
