As per my experience, the Gokyo Valley trek is certainly one of the most challenging trekking trails in Nepal. The terrain, altitude, and the way to the Gokyo Ri summit, the trail has a lot to offer the adventure lovers and the adrenaline-junkies like me. I loved how people settled even in such remotely accessed places. Interacting with the locals was made so much easier with the help of the English-speaking guide who accompanied us.

The whole trip was amazing and perfectly planned by the Green Valley Nepal Treks. They showed us the itinerary before we started the journey. Moreover, Arjun also clarified to us the risks and opportunities of the Gokyo Valley Trek. Before I departed from Kathmandu, the GVNT team checked whether I had all the necessary gear or not.

The best part of the trip was when we ascended to Gokyo Ri summit (5357 meters) which offered a straight-out-of-the-dream view of Mt. Everest Peak, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and many more valleys and landscapes around the Khumbo region. All I want to say is thanks to Green Valley Nepal Treks for making the Gokyo Valley trek, a lifetime memory for me and helping me complete the circuit successfully.

I could have never had such an adventurous and amazing trek to Everest without the support and adequate arrangements made by the GVNT team. Even though I was enthusiastic about trekking in the Everest region, nervousness also existed.

I talked to Mr. Arjun about the trek and its difficulty, and he did not sugarcoat his package saying it is not difficult or anyone can do it easily just to sell the product. Instead, the man was very honest about saying that the trek was difficult to some extent. However, he assured me that with his team’s arrangements and guidance, if I followed the guide properly and trekked as per his instructions, I could do that successfully.

And honestly, that happened, I listened to his instructions, followed the guide, kept my pace as slow as possible, and was able to complete the Everest trek. Also, I felt that the cost of this package was thoughtfully designed for the Indians, and the overall experience was lovely with Arjun and the Green Valley Nepal Treks team.

I enjoyed this trek a lot because it was exactly as I wanted it to be, without any rest days. I had limited time in Nepal but wanted to get the perfect view of Mount Everest as I had no idea when would I ever come back to this country. In my research, I got to know about Green Valley Nepal Treks and when I talked to Arjun from this travel agency, he told me that he had a perfect itinerary for me.

After that, I was told about the Rapid Everest Base Camp Trek which had an itinerary of just 9 days. But as it is not an easy trek and not even appropriate for everyone, Arjun asked me in detail about the treks I have done in the past, my physical strength, and all that.

Besides, he also suggested I get some extra packing essentials and gear which would be helpful on the ascendance and descendance journey. With a lot of preparation (I have been trekking for over a decade), understanding the instructions, and a slow but continuous pace, I was able to get the best view of Mount Everest from Kalapatthar and also reach the Everest Base Camp.

The variety of foods is fulfilling and hygienic with lodges and guesthouses full of facilities, I had no problem spending the night throughout the trail. Also, my guide (as it was a private trek) helped a lot in the successful ascending of the Everest trail. Thank you Green Valley team for arranging such an amazing trekking experience in Nepal.

Dhampus village is heaven in the land. The locals living there wear their traditional clothes, cattle graze, and people vegetate on the terrace farms. Everything seemed to be like a dream for me. The locals were so humble and offered us the best hospitality and food as well. I just love Nepal and thank GVNT for making this hiking adventure such amazing part of my life.

Sarangkot hiking helped me witness the best view of the sun rising slowly from the eastern skies. Moreover, the scene was even more magical when the light of the sun struck the mountain peaks and turned them golden. Thank you Green Valley Nepal Treks for taking me on such an amazing journey. Also, not to forget, GVNT's guide was so professional.

The Budget Everest Base Camp trek was such a safe trekking experience with the Green Valley Nepal Treks team taking care of each and everything for me. The guides made sure that I got the best food and accommodation facilities.

One thing that I must state here is that I was not sure whether my body was able to adapt to such high altitudes. I talked about that with Raj in the office and he referred me to another trek for me to practice being at a higher altitude and to make my body ready for the Everest Base Camp. This was such a lovely gesture from the GVNT team because due to that short trek, I was able to finish successfully climbing to the Everest Base Camp and return safely.

Everything was so well-managed and the facilities I got during the whole trek were so encouraging and health-oriented. With amazingly talented guides, strong porters, and a perfectly explained itinerary, GVNT offers the safest trek to the Everest Base Camp, that too, at such budget-friendly rates.

If you are visiting Nepal, you must not miss the Pumdikot Hill Hiking from Pokhara. For that, I recommend Green Valley Nepal treks as the best companion. They are so authentic with the services and their guides know everything about the place. Such an amazing experience with them. Looking forward to going on another trip with the GVNT team ASAP!

I chose Green Valley Treks when it came to booking my EBC trek with Helicopter return in April 2024—and boy am I glad I did that!! In summary, they have more than earned my highest recommendation.

Raj, the coordinator, was incredibly accommodating from the beginning and closely worked with my schedule and ever-changing COVID guidelines to help book my trip. I only had 9 days off from work, and was comfortable with my training, but the shortest trip offered by any other tour operator was over 12 days.

However, Raj created an individualized itinerary for me and assigned me a fit guide/porter duo to set me up for success. He even personally picked me up from the airport and dropped me off after I completed my trek. My flight to Lukla got cancelled due to the poor weather, and Raj diligently worked with me to organize a Jeep to Phaphlu and a private helicopter to Lukla the very next morning due to my already annotated trip.

My guide, Bishow, was enthusiastic, friendly, and was proficient in English. He did everything in his power to ensure I was able to accomplish my goal of completing the EBC+High pass trek in 8 days; and simultaneously, have an enjoyable and memorable trip.

He ensured he pointed out all the notable peaks during our week of clear skies, as well as the history and significance of Sherpa culture and Buddhist traditions. Although I pre-medicated with Diamox, I felt some signs of altitude sickness one evening in Lobuche due to our lack of acclimatization days.

On that evening, Bishow played cards with me, offered to give me a head massage, and sang a beautiful Nepalese song. He was upbeat, thoughtful, and calm throughout the trip—if you have the option to choose a guide, I would strongly recommend you ask for Bisho as he will not disappoint!

My porter, Jit, was similarly wonderful and ensured he kept up with our ambitious pace. He acted as an assistant guide helped out with ordering meals and ensured that I was well taken care of.

In summary, Green Valley Treks is an absolute gem amongst the 100s of tour coordinators offering the EBC with Helicopter return. They have earned my highest recommendation, and I would highly recommend them to my family and friends!
