  Amazing trip to EBC & Gokyo Lakes with Santosh, Lhakpa & porter team with our group of 6 people. Santosh is ultimate professional from moment he meets you at the airport, to time he drops you back he's 100% on game & focused on making the trip best he can for you. Always takes you to best tea houses, knows the best rooms & adjusts the itinerary to suit the needs of our group. Trek itself amazing, beautiful countryside & new specular view around every corner. Highly recommend Mountain Ascend Treks, Santosh & his team to anyone.

  Just returned from an unforgettable Gokyo Ri trek organised by Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The logistics were seamless — from airport pickups to domestic flights, hotels, and meals — everything was sorted without us ever needing to worry. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, Bishnu. He’s one of those people who genuinely cares — not just about logistics, but about how you're doing each day. He made sure we were adjusting well to the altitude, kept checking in on us, and was always happy to adjust the plan to suit our pace and comfort. Little things, like offering us fruit each evening, really made us feel looked after. What stood out most was Bishnu’s honesty and the level of trust he built from day one. Everything was clearly explained upfront and remained consistent with the itinerary — no hidden costs, no surprises. It was obvious that his goal wasn’t to upsell or rush us through the trek, but to give us a meaningful and enjoyable experience. You could really feel his pride in sharing the mountains and his culture with us. Some of the most memorable parts of the trek weren’t just the insane views, but the downtime — the chats over dinner, the shared stories, the laughs after a long day of walking. Bishnu’s warmth made the whole thing feel personal and grounded. Our route took us through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Dole, Machhermo, and Gokyo — each destination presenting its own unique charm with evolving landscapes. The pinnacle was an unforgettable sunrise hike up Gokyo Ri, blanketed in snow. We ended the trip in Kathmandu with a traditional dinner and cultural performance, which was such a beautiful way to wrap things up. The price for the whole package was very fair, especially for the unreal level of care, personalisation and attention we received. If you're planning a trek in Nepal, I can’t recommend Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure and Bishnu enough. You’ll be in great hands.

  Hi. Long time lurker. I think this is my first review. I was looking at an exotic trek adventure. After looking for a bunch of places to go I thought Nepal sounded like a good start and of course Everest Base Camp is iconic so naturally... I emailed with Ramesh and Keshav the owners. Apex Asia and Broad Adventures merged and are now one so either would respond. They responded promptly and with great recommendations. I was looking primarily for great views for photography, then next most importantly something vigorous, and finally at least somewhat isolated. After a thorough discussion despite my ignorance they recommended Gokyo Ri might be more appropriate for my goals. I AM SO HAPPY THEY SAID SO! On the trip a bunch of groups were going to EBC and very few to Gokyo, and also everything I read was that Gokyo is incredibly scenic and EBC is just not in the same league. Next, I am Jewish and observant and I cannot travel on the Sabbath and cannot eat anything not kosher. They noted the teahouses along the way (obviously) are not kosher but that they could provide a cook along the way (!) and that they routinely trek with Israeli clients and they are very familiar with Shabbos and kashrus. The morning we began they ran the food by me so I could inspect relevant hechshers. So yeah! The trip was amazing. Gyanu was the guide who is calm and fantastic. Uttam was the cook and portered as well and Ranjit the porter. They were mountain goats. I carried a day pack and they carried everything else. Every lunch and dinner they asked what I would like to eat, they prepared and cooked it and it was delicious! The teahouses are pretty basic and cold and make sure to bring a very warm (VERY warm) sleeping bag if you go in winter. Also the teahouses do not provide toilet paper and often do not have "Western" toilets so be prepared. The trip was fantastic. Probably best ever trip I've taken. Shabbat and kashrus were not issues at all. I realized late that Gokyo is and out and back trip and I did not want to go out and back. We talked about extending it a day to return through Renjo-La. I said I'm happy to pay an extra day, and I hear Renjo-La is fantastic! Despite requesting this at the last moment they accommodated my wish with cheer and we returned through Renjo La pass (Highly recommended). Best trip I think I've ever taken. Highly recommended. For Jewish observant clients have no concerns. They took care of all my needs. Plus there's a Chabad in Kathmandu that makes great shakshuka and schnitzel!
