Trip Overview

Gokyo Trekking is to visit the Gokyo valley, which is west of Mt Everest. Gokyo is famous for its Lakes. There are four beautiful Lakes. The hotels and main Gokyo is the third Lake. To visit Fourth Lake is a more interesting and unbelievable view. Fewer trekkers are planning to visit Fourth Lake because of the long day hiking with thin air.
 
Gokyo trekking major part to climb Gokyo Ri 5380m. The view from Gokyo Ri is eye-charting. Asian Hiking Team plans to bring you to the top of Gokyo Ri.

Hello Everybody,
My husband & I just returned from 4 weeks in Nepal and India. Can't say enough "good subject " about Suman and Asian Hiking Team. The trip was completely magnificent. Suman worked with us when we needed to adjust the itinerary, reassured us everything would be fine & always kept us safe. The guides and porter they provided were outstanding. Laxu Rai, who introduced us to the wonderful world of Nepal at the start point of trekking in Lukla, Bistarai Bistarai - walking slowly. His vast knowledge (I think he could teach an academy course in Buddhism and Hinduism) and love of the country was evident to us. Laxu rai, who showed us various sites in Sherpa village & accompanied us on the Gokyo and Everest Base Camp trekking, was always there to keep our comfort levels high. As world hikers who seek to experience and immerse ourselves into a place, not just simply see it, this trekking exceeded our expectations. Our accommodations were excellent yet, the cost reasonable. Those prices wouldn't have been possible if we were making our own reservations.
I guess the most amazing part was the verity that Suman made all the planning with ease. That type of influence cannot be underestimated. We cannot thank Asian Hiking Team enough for giving us an excellent experience that incarcerated the heart and spirit of Nepal & India.
Thanks,
Martin Galardo
