We had the absolute pleasure of doing the Gokyo Valley trek with Ace the Himalaya, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, safe, and incredibly rewarding.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Ramesh Karki, and porter, Aayush Rai—they truly made the experience exceptional. Ramesh was knowledgeable, patient, and always attentive to our needs. He shared so much about the local culture, geography, and mountain life, adding a deeper dimension to the trek. Aayush was cheerful and strong, always greeting us with a smile, and made sure our bags arrived safely and on time at every stop.
The trek itself is stunning—pristine lakes, majestic peaks, and welcoming villages. Highlights included the climb to Gokyo Ri for sunrise (absolutely breathtaking!) and the peaceful beauty of the Gokyo Lakes. The pace was well-planned, with acclimatization days that made the higher altitudes much more manageable.
Everything from the accommodations to the meals and logistics ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of. The Ace the Himalaya team is professional, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do.
If you’re considering a Himalayan trek, don’t hesitate—go with Ace the Himalaya. And if you can, request Ramesh Karki and Aayush Rai—they’re the dream team. 5/5 and already dreaming of our next adventure!
