Everest Gokyo Traveller Reviews

The quest was to set eyes upon Sagarmatha and for 11 days we trekked up the valleys to Gokyo. Wonderful, stunning scenery of the Himalayas as we climbed. Mountain names that months ago meant nothing now stood proudly before us. It was truly an incredible sight and one etched deep into the millstone grit. Cho Oyu, Makalu, Lhotse, Mera peak, Nuptse, Khang Tega, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and of course, Sagarmatha. They will remain with me forever.

The trek was 12 months in the planning and Roland and The Mountain Company were with us every step of the way. The communication was first class with no question too small. The whole operation was seamless, with transfers, pick ups, accommodation, advice, guidance and of course the Sherpa guides and porters. There is nothing but positives for The Mountain Company and I would highly recommend them to other trekkers. Should I visit this wonderful part of the world again, The Mountain Company would be my only choice. Thank you so much, Roland, the team, Dorjee and Dawa. 'Don't die wondering'

A trekking expedition to climb to the top of Gokyo Ri, which gave us the most staggering view of the Himalayan landscape, with obviously Mt Everest dominating the skyline. The journey was punctuated with rest/acclimatisation days to allow us to adjust to the change in altitude. A system that many other trekkers didn't seem to adhere to, sometimes with consequences that meant airlift removal from the peaks. Tour very well constructed with more than adequate guide and porter.

Recommended through a mutual friend. Responsible ethics, which involve helping families of porters and guides in need. Also a policy of collecting any discarded rubbish which had been discarded en route.
