The Best 18 Days of My Life in the Himalayas of Nepal
I had the most reasonable 18-Days trek to the Everest Three-Pass with Green Valley Nepal Treks’ guidance. They helped me navigate the map beforehand and also described thoroughly all the gear I needed to have for this trek. Besides, the cost of the package was also transparent and as per my experience in the trek, the price perfectly justifies the adventure and services offered during the Everest Three-Pass trek.
I met Mr. Arjun and Mr. Raj in the GVNT office in Thamel a day before the trial began. Such descriptive ways help me understand the trekking trail, highlights, obstacles, challenges, and opportunities. Also, let me not miss the guide provided by the GVNT team. He was so generous, talented, and professional, that I did not even have to worry about anything during the trip.
Even though the Everest Three-Pass trek was physically challenging, the GVNT team, the guides, and the porter made the trip much easier and knowledgeably adventurous. I highly recommend this ascend with Green Valley Nepal Treks.

Amazing Experience at the Everest Three-Pass Trek with GVNT
I went for the Everest Three-Pass trek with Green Valley Nepal Treks and let me tell you, this trip could never have been this amazing if it was not with the GVNT and their guide. My guide’s name was Biru and he knew every turn and curve of the trail. I had to follow his instructions and watch the vistas of the mountains and surrounding areas.
As I reached Kathmandu airport, I was picked up by a private cab and taken to the Green Valley’s office as I wanted to meet Arjun in person. Sitting inside the office, the guy explained so well about the whole Everest Three-Pass Trek and all the necessary things, as if we were walking the trail.
Such a great team, right from the office staff to the trekking guides and porters, everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and supportive, which led my trek to the Everest Three-Pass to be one of the best adventures in my life.
