I had a very good time trekking in the Everest region. Guides and managers are very nice and helpful. It is well organized, food, accommodation, itinerary, advices, safety and of course fun. You can hike in all serenity and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. It is a great experience

Raj, our guides Bishwa and Jeet, and all our porters provided top-tier service. They went above and beyond to get us to Lukla and through the entire trip. We had a great experience.

The trip was a fabulous 3 day trek. Day 1 a very vertical challenge. Day 2 distance was 24kms. And day 3 a nice downhill 14 kms. Sadly garbage and very little view due to air pollution. Accommodation was hotel with no heat night 1 beautiful night 2. Communication from co was mixed. Confusion over what was included. Meals, t-short, duffel bag. Website did not agree with itinerary. Packing list did not mention to bring passports. I would not choose this company again.

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!
