    Amazing Experience on Everest Gokyo Trek via Salleri

    It was an incredible trip to complete the Everest Gokyo Trek via Salleri. Since Green Valley Nepal Treks handled everything expertly, I truly believed that a guardian angel was watching over me the entire time. Due to the breathtaking scenery of the Everest trek, the effort paid rewarded. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but it wouldn't have been possible without Gopal and GVNT. Every step, including the booking and the hike, was flawless. For the Everest expedition, I heartily endorse GVNT.

    Excellent Trip with Green Valley Team

    Excellent journey and wonderful encounter! Both our porter and tour guide, Biru, were helpful and friendly and had many years of professional experience. They both gave us a lot of assistance to make sure we all made it to the Gokyo RI Peak in time to see Mount Everest, which is the largest mountain in the world. We would definitely utilize Green Valley Nepal Treks again for another adventurous trek and heartily recommend them. Many thanks

  • On the trails, bottled water is widely and cheaply accessible, however, certain trek areas do not allow plastic bottles. Therefore, we advise you to take a water bottle that you may fill with boiling or filter water. Additionally, we urge you to use water purification pills or drops, which you may either bring from your home country or purchase in Kathmandu.

You will be charged extra for overage luggage.
