Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri Trekking Package - 10 Days

We did a "10 Days Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri Trek" with Breeze adventure and had a great time. Kishwor was very professional: he promptly answered every single question we had before our trip was even confirmed; briefed us, in Kathmandu, before the actual hike to ensure we had everything we needed; picked us up after the trek and was genuinely interested in hearing our feedback and impressions. Sushant was a great guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, humorous and very patient, making sure our pacing was adequate at all times. He was flexible and able to adapt the trek to our taste. The hike wasn't rushed and gave us enough time to acclimatize. You can clearly tell both of them love Nepal, trekking and the mountains. As for the trek itself, the sights, the people, the food, nature… we can’t do it justice and you’ll have to experience it for yourself. The Gokyo Lakes felt like an excellent alternative to the crowded EBC trek.  Kathmandu à Lukla à Phakding à Namche Bazaar à Dole à Machermo à Gokyo à Return Overnight in different lodges / tea houses with 3 daily meals included (drinks at your own expense, though). The accommodation is supposed to be more "basic" the higher up you go, but we actually found those higher altitude lodges more comfortable and clean since they had much fewer people than the ones up to Namche Bazaar. 

The trek to Gokyo Lakes was amazing! We finished this trek last month with Breeze Adventure. The Guide and Porters were very friendly and well experienced. The view from Gokyo Ri was just Amazing! The Mt. Everest view and the other mountains were so beautiful. Thank you very much Mr. Kishwor for this amazing trip. He organised this trip very well. We will come to Nepal again for another trek in Kanchenjunga.

I first made contact with Kishwor the owner of Breeze Adventure Ltd via email, he always replied promptly to any queries, in fact I had originally asked about the Rolwaling Valley Trek but he informed me that due to time of year the high accommodation would be closed, we could camp but it would be very cold and he suggested some other options of which the Gokyo Lake trek seemed to tick the boxes. The organisation was first class from the meeting at Tribhuvan airport until my departure 2 weeks later. The Trek was an amazing experience that words can hardly describe, each day there would be new vistas to look at. Our guide Sushant was very knowledgeable about the culture of the high Himalaya and was encouraging but also thoughtful in his advice as the trek progressed. He wanted us to succeed in summiting Gokyo Ri which stands at 5357m, quite a challenge but we made it and were rewarded with amazing views of four 8000m peaks including Everest. On our return to Kathmandu Kishwor was also able to arrange a city tour which was informative and interesting. I have no hesitation in recommending Breeze Adventure for the organisation of your Trek in Nepal. A couple of points to consider: We had some days spare, this is very useful since the Flight we had to take from Kathmandu to Lukla on a small twin engined plane ( amazing experience!) is often held up by the weather in either direction, if you have a very tight schedule and are affected you may end up having to change your trek. Breeze provided 2-3 star Hotel in Kathmandu before and after our trek, it was fine. Travel baggage can be left at the hotel while you are on your Trek, but if you fancy something more luxurious just ask Kishwor.
