What an amazing trip!! Every day and every step was a gift. Raj from Green Valley did an amazing job of organizing our trip to meet our needs. From the airport pickup to getting to Luka on the first flight out, our accommodations, food, guides and porters, everything was perfectly taken care of. Our guides Anil and Tik were amazing. Their knowledge and help along the way was much appreciated. Unfortunately, 3 of the people on our trek became very sick and had to be helicoptered back to Kathmandu. Raj and Anil were able to make arrangements very quickly to get them back safely. I can't say enough about Green Valley and the service they provided for our trek. It was an amazing experience that i will never forget and i would not hesitate to use Green Valley in the future.

Green Valley Nepal Treks was amazing! We love these guys. From the very beginning Raj patiently answered all of our questions and helped us feel comfortable with what we were choosing. After booking, we continued to have many questions and Raj always answered quickly and thoroughly. Raj was so perfect to help us plan the trip to EBC. We were promptly picked up at the airport every time and everything was well organized. On the trip to EBC, we had wonderful guides and porters. Anil was our primary guide and he was excellent. He helped to keep us organized and explained everything we would be doing each day. He was friendly and patient and kind. We had some sickness in our group and he helped us get the attention that we needed. Tek was our assistant guide and he was excellent also. He set a good pace and helped us stay encouraged to finish strong each day. We didn't interact as much with the porters, but they worked so hard and were super friendly and helpful. They always had a smile and were willing to do whatever to help us. Our porters were Prashant, Ram, Budhi, Sujan, and Cheeton. We loved the group that we worked with from Green Valley. Lastly, we did a day tour in Kathmandu at the end of our trip and our guide was Saru. She was excellent and designed a flexible and interesting tour of the city. It was wonderful to have one of the few female guides in Kathmandu and I highly recommend requesting her. Five Stars for Green Valley. They were an excellent organizer and manager of our trip to Nepal and Everest Base Camp. Greg Davis

Unforgettable experience The Green Valley team are a truly fantastic, incredibly supportive, well established and knowledgeable company who provide the highest level of service across the Himalaya. I was recommended Green Valley Treks through a work colleague and immediately enjoyed reading their great website, 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, prompt and answered all of my queries - no matter what time of day! This made the pre - trip planning a smooth process. After arriving to a warm Nepalese welcome with our pre-arranged airport transfer service felt very special and already apart 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 finalising 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 along side 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 on our flights in/out of Lukla airport. In summary, Green Valley Treks __ are the number one Trekking company I would recommend to anybody visiting the Himalaya. 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. Thankyou Bishwa, you made my experience!
