The decision to spend our vacation in Nepal was actually pretty easy. For me it was the fifth time to climb the summit of a mountain in Nepal. The Trek to Gokyo RI wasn’t the longest but one of the most beautiful and an amazing experience i wouldn’t miss. The Country, the people, the landscape and the way of life they have is impressive. It wasn’t for sure not the last time i was there. Raj shows us his place, introduce us to his family and friends and all the time he was a good guide and a good friend who keeps care of us. Laudable was the good preparation of the tour, the knowledge about the country and caring efforts to fulfill all our desires.Thanks Raj for the great time we had. Hopefully we will see us again soon (-:

The awe-inspiring landscape, vibrant prayer wheels, suspension bridges, dining around a fireplace, warm smiles of the natives, etc tends to make the trek worth it.
Children as young as 7 and adults over 65 have all done this trek. Steep ascents and descents and rocky paths may not be suitable for you if you have some knee problems or weak ankles. And it would be better to get a doctor consultation before heading on to this trek. If you are fit and also have some experience of trekking at high altitude then you are fit enough to do the Everest Region trek.
The best season for the Everest Region trek is from September to early December when there is clear weather. Also, during the March and May, the flowers are out and visibility is clear.
The route is relatively danger-free as the path has been widened in many places making it easier for the trekkers. The main problem is when people get Altitude sickness. Other than that, common injuries that people may face are twisted ankles and sprains. To cope with that we hire experienced guides and experts to tag along with your journey.

The accommodations are quite nice considering the elevation. During the peak time, our guide will help in pre-booking of your rooms.
In the lower villages, you can find tea houses with 24/7 power. But as the elevation goes higher, teahouses are depended on solar only so, you might not have the chance to charge your mobile. So, we suggest you carry lightweight solar power banks.

It wasn’t for sure not the last time i was there. Raj shows us his place, introduce us to his family and friends and all the time he was a good guide and a good friend who keeps care of us. Laudable was the good preparation of the tour, the knowledge about the country and caring efforts to fulfill all our desires.Thanks Raj for the great time we had. Hopefully we will see us again soon (-:
