Unforgettable Experience!
The Green Valley team is a truly fantastic, incredibly supportive, well-established, and knowledgeable company that provides the highest level of service across the Himalayas.
I was recommended Green Valley Treks by a work colleague and immediately enjoyed reading their great website, and its clear and detailed itineraries. Comparing this to other companies made it an easy company to focus on. After contacting Arjun, one of the owners, with my many questions via WhatsApp I knew this was the company for myself. His responses were clear, and prompt, and answered all of my queries - no matter what time of day! This made the pre-trip planning a smooth process.
After arriving at a warm Nepalese welcome with our pre-arranged airport transfer service felt very special and already a part of the Green Valley team. We were then greeted by Arjun in person at our hotel, despite the late hour following our international flight delay, and he assisted us with finalizing our porters and essential gear for the trip addressing any last-minute questions we may have had.
Bishwa Rai, our senior guide for the trip truly made our experience. Representing Green Valley’s values and vision for its clients perfectly throughout our trek with his kind, caring, and compassionate nature truly highlighted his passion for the job as well as his desire to connect us on a deeper level with Nepal. Having the opportunity to walk alongside him on our journey to EBC was a true privilege. His long-standing experience as a guide also made my journey more enjoyable as he was able to recommend the prime time to take photos and where to find the best local foods. As beautiful as the Khumbu Valley is, the friendship I built with Bishwa was the highlight of my trip.
Throughout the journey, I felt incredibly well supported by the team and if any logistical planning needed to be completed Bishwa was fantastic at navigating these challenges independently to assist us in a smooth journey, particularly when the weather may play into effect our flights in/out of Lukla airport.
In summary, Green Valley Treks is the number one Trekking company I recommend to anybody visiting the Himalayas. Their service was phenomenal and worth every cent. I look forward to using them again to Trek the three passes and some other beginner summits as my skill level increases.

Restless Trek Full Of Adventure and Magic of Nature
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.
