                                • Compared to the other Everest Base Camp trekking routes  the  15 Days Everest Gokyo Valley Trekking tour is the easiest. Trekking Planner Nepal  has  the best trek itinerary that allows adventurers to enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Everest and other high Himalayan peaks. The only challenging factor on this trek is the number of walking days on uneven terrains for several hours. Besides that the trek is moderately pleasant and comfortable to walk at a gradual pace.

                                • The best season to attempt the Gokyo Valley Trek is in the pre-monsoon season i.e. from March to May and post-monsoon season i.e. from late September to December.   The days will be mostly warm while it gets cold between sunset and sunrise. It is also possible to do this trek in February and early September but the trek is best preferred during the pleasant months.

                                • Yes! The southwest face of Mount Everest is best seen from here. The sightings of Mount Everest are splendid. You get to see the  best panoramic view of the whole Everest Region from Gokyo Ri.

                                • It is good to have some  kind of trekking experience though not compulsory.  Besides, many novice trekkers  have successfully managed to do it with ease. The only thing  required is good fitness, self-motivation and strong passion to do the Gokyo Valley trek.

                                • Trekking Planner Nepal  always allows and has a flexible trekking approach when it comes to cancellation  or transfer of your deposit to anyone or any other trip. If you wish to cancel your booked trips, some cancellation charges are applied and you can get it done.

                                • Taking your comfort factor into account, we make sure to book the best lodge with two beds in each room and western toilet facilities wherever available. Normally, the beds are clean and comfortable with an electric blanket  if available and an attached bathroom for most nights.

Lunch will be provided at tea houses or small restaurants along the trail.  The meals contain fresh fruits and organic ingredients which  have the right balance to keep you going for the entire trekking  journey.

                                • There is every chance of getting altitude sickness but if a few things are kept in mind aided by the right kind of planning  it can be easily avoided. The key to it is to make a slow ascend with proper rest and acclimatization.  You need to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, avoid alcohol and cigarettes,  and be mantelly  strong.

                                • No, oxygen is not required for the trek as we get enough  time for acclimatization. In addition, we provide Diamox, a medication that suppresses altitude sickness symptoms. In extreme cases if you  do get severe altitude sickness, then we do descend to a lower altitude instantly. But we have oxygen for emergency.

                                • No crampons are not required for this trek if you are trekking during the  preferred seasons. But if  the trek falls  in the mid-winter or monsoon season then crampons may be required. It is advisable to have crampons handy as you never know what kind of situations it might be.

                                • Trekking Planner has an able  team of trekking leaders and mountain crew who are highly skillful in tackling kind of emergencies if it occurs. First thing If you feel sick with the altitude, let your leader know about it . With his assessment and experience, he can sense the intensity of the seriousness and if need be he will take the necessary steps.

                                  He will either bring you down to a lower elevation or rescue you using a helicopter. If the helicopter is unable to fly due to any reasons, we will use our local contacts to coordinate and make use of alternative evacuation procedures. It involves carrying you to the nearest health post or a safe helicopter landing area.

                                  Thank you for a wonderful trip to the Himalaya!

                                  I just got back from my 16 day package with Trekking Planner, doing a trek to Gokyo Valley and Renjo La Pass. Dipak and his team did everything to make this a great and super special trip for me, for which I am very thankful. The hotel and sightseeing tour in Kathmandu were very nice and a good start into my vacation. Despite general difficulties with the flights to Lukla, Trekking Planner managed to get me on a helicopter flight for a reasonable price so I could start my trek in time. My guide Suraj was wonderful - fun, knowledgable, and very responsible - and made my experience most memorable. He also paid a lot of attention to my wellbeing in the altitude and the agenda was well balanced so that we would not ascend too quickly. Thus, I felt great throughout the whole trek and enjoyed it very much. Thank you Trekking Planner, I will be back!

                                  Amazing Solu-Khumbu to Gokyo Trek!

                                  Trekking Planner facilitated a fabulous 21-day trek for us starting in the Solu-Khumbu - the lower foothill country of the Everest region - up to the high Himalayas of the Gokyo Lakes area. We had an excellent guide -Ganesh- and two fun-loving porters - Purna and Tej. Ganesh was thoughtful and thorough and really ensured a great experience for our family of four while we were on the trek. Everything was taken care of everyday.

                                  Dipak was exceedingly timely in his responses when we were setting the trek up and provided us with several itineraries from which to choose. Ultimately, he helped us tailor a trek just to our needs. Everything went very smoothly and I would highly recommend Dipak's Trekking Planner services to anyone going to Nepal for the first time!
