Green Valley Nepal Treks

"Once in a lifetime experience"
A good friend and I trekked with Green Valley to EBC in April of 2024. Communication from the company in advance of our trip was exceptional, and Arjun helped us with hotel bookings and other trip details outside the normal itinerary. All aspects of the trip went smoother than I could have hoped. We opted for a helicopter ride to Lilla rather than the usual plane - good call, as flights were all canceled the day we were to leave. Helicopters fly when planes can’t. We also opted to take a helicopter down from EBC rather than trekking down. This shorted the trip and we both agreed it was a great call as we were quite tired upon reaching EBC.
We had our own guide (Ambar) and porter (Ganesh) who were a son/father team. Both were absolutely incredible. The local knowledge and experience of having Ambar with us made the trip all the more incredible. The fact that they were father/son was really fun.
I highly recommend Green Valley, and if you’re able to get Ambar and Ganesh as your team, you won’t regret it.

"Incredible custom Annapurna circuit trek"
We had an incredible experience hiking Annapurna Circuit with Green Valley Nepal Treks! We were a group of 12 students and they helped us craft a custom itinerary based on the days we had available. Arjun is extremely responsive and very helpful answering all your questions ahead of time! Our guide Phurba was also exceptional - helping us set a hiking pace that worked for the full group and providing helpful guidance along the way. We had so much fun and we’d definitely book with Green Valley for our next adventure in Nepal!

"This was the trip of a lifetime!"
This was the trip of a lifetime!! We did the 12 day Everest Basecamp Trek and it was absolutely incredible.
Green Valley made it so easy to plan for this trip and Arjun was super responsive throughout the many months leading up to the trip - and believe me I had a lot of questions!
Having a great guide on this trip is definitely mandatory as navigating the various permits, flights, tea houses, etc can be tough for newcomers. Our guide was Bishwa, one of the kindest and funniest people I’ve ever met. We wouldn’t have had the experience that we did without him. His communication on the trip, and ability to answer any questions - whether it be the height of ANY mountain we pointed out along the way, questions about culture, what we should eat or avoid, how to handle the altitude - Bishwa walked us through it all and made us feel so at ease! Along with our incredible porters Hari and Arjun (superheroes), the whole Green Valley team was amazing every step of the way.
I should note that this isn’t a vacation, it’s an ADVENTURE! And it will be tough, but so so so worth it. An experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Can’t recommend highly enough. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

"Successful Annapurna/Green Valley Nepal Circuit Trek"
We just recently completed a 12 day Annapurna circuit trek organized by Raj of Green Valley Nepal Treks and research hub. Raj has been organizing treks for quite a while and set us up with a great Itinerary, transportation, and crew. Our guide Shishir and porter Ram were most helpful in making our trip a reality. They were friendly, professional, found the best lunch spots along the way, made sure we hiked at a pace comfortable for us, and always made sure we were adequately hydrated for the strenuous activity. We also traveled counter clockwise in order to properly acclimate to the increasing altitude and Shishir constantly observed our tolerance. Green Valley Nepal's efforts contributed to our successfully reaching our goal of reaching Thorang-La Pass and completing the circuit trek. We highly recommend Green Valley Nepal Treks and because of their efforts and interactions we consider them Life Long Friends.

"Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley"
Our trek was expertly organised, by the team who have clear experience in these things, with great advice on where to go and excellent guides. They had a great demeanour and went over and above, tailoring the trip to our needs and helping us with things in Kathmandu. Highly recommend!

"A Himalayan Dream Realized: Green Valley Nepal Treks’ Everest Base Camp Trek with Biru"
Embarking on the journey to Everest Base Camp with Green Valley Nepal Treks and their exceptional guide Biru was an experience that surpassed all expectations. From the moment we set
foot on the trail to the moment we reached our destination, every aspect of the trek was orchestrated with precision, care, and a genuine love for the majestic landscape of the Khumbu region.
Green Valley's management, ably led by Arjun Pandey and Raj Lamichhane, is truly outstanding. Both Raj and Arjun had a patient ear for every question, every clarification. The logistics,
accommodations, meals—all were seamlessly arranged, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breath-taking beauty of the Khumbu region without any distractions. Their attention to detail ensured that our focus remained squarely on the awe-inspiring surroundings
and the incredible journey ahead.
But what truly set our experience apart was the guidance and companionship of Biru, our guide extraordinaire. Biru is a stoic guide. Ever so calm and composed in all situations. Biru's
expertise, professionalism, and unwavering passion for the mountains were evident from the outset. Not only did he possess an encyclopaedic knowledge of the trails and the local terrain, but he also shared captivating stories and insights that deepened our
appreciation for the region's rich cultural heritage.
Biru's leadership on the trail was nothing short of exceptional. With his calm demeanour, keen intuition, and unwavering commitment to our safety and well-being, he instilled confidence
in us every step of the way. Whether navigating challenging terrain, offering words of encouragement, or simply sharing a laugh, Biru's presence was a constant source of inspiration and reassurance.
Moreover, Biru's genuine warmth and hospitality fostered a sense of camaraderie within our group, creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. His genuine care for each
member of our trekking party went above and beyond, ensuring that everyone felt supported, valued, and included throughout the journey.
I would like to also say enormous thanks to Jassu and Hari, our super strong team who literally and figuratively carried so much of our gear and trekking items. You are awesome!
Reaching Everest Base Camp was undoubtedly the pinnacle of our adventure—a momentous achievement made all the more meaningful by Biru's guidance and support. Standing in the shadow of
the world's highest peak was a humbling experience that will stay with us forever, and we are immensely grateful to Biru for making it possible.
In conclusion, Green Valley's Everest Base Camp trek, managed by Arjun and Raj, and coupled with the exceptional guidance of Biru, is an adventure of a lifetime that I wholeheartedly
recommend to anyone with a spirit of adventure and a love for the great outdoors. Thank you, Green Valley, and thank you, Biru, for an unforgettable journey that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We cannot wait to return to the Himalayas with
you by our side!

"Book with Green Valley NOW! And, ask for Ambar as your guide!"
My husband and I did the EBC + Gokyo trek with Green Valley, and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience and supporting team. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we were put up in an incredibly comfortable hotel. We met with Arjun, the company owner, right away - he was very clear and thorough in his overview of the hike and made sure all of our questions were answered. When our flight to Lukla the next day was delayed by a few hours, Arjun did not hesitate to put us on a helicopter free of any additional charge to make sure we made it to the hike start point without any setbacks .
We met our guide, Ambar, and porter, Suneil, when we arrived in Lukla, and we could tell instantly we were in good hands. Both Ambar and Suneil were incredibly positive, and their good humor and attitude made even the toughest times on the trail enjoyable. Ambar took great care of us - he regularly checked in with us to make sure we were feeling okay, drinking enough water and eating enough to have energy for the long treks. He is also a wealth of knowledge on the local culture - he shared plenty tidbits of knowledge along the way and answered our many questions about Sherpa culture, and Nepali culture more broadly, openly and honestly. He was also very conscientious of our hiking pace throughout the journey and stayed by our side when we slowed down or needed to take breaks. Ambar created an amazing experience for us, and we highly recommend asking for him as your guide on this journey.
So, what are you waiting for? Book with Green Valley NOW!

"We had the best experience possible…"
We had the best experience possible with Green Valley! Everything was so well arranged. Green Valley has been very warm, flexible, friendly, and welcoming to us. Before the trip, all communication was very smooth. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we met Arjun at the Green Valley office. Everything was explained very well, and they answered all our questions. They also offered to rent everything we didn’t have, like sleeping bags and jackets. Our flight to Lukla was delayed for two hours. Instead of letting us wait, which we were perfectly happy with, Arjun arranged a helicopter flight for us! What an incredible experience. Upon arrival in Lukla, we met our guide, Lakpa. Lakpa was excellent. He’s experienced, calm, funny, and very friendly. He took such good care of us, and we never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. He accompanied us all the way up to EBC and Kala Patthar. We have so much respect for guides like him! He felt like a friend. We were very lucky with the weather; all days were bright, sunny, and with clear blue skies. After 12 days, we made it back to Lukla. We had the experience of a lifetime thanks to Green Valley and Lakpa, our guide. Stop looking for other companies. Green Valley is amazing, and I highly recommend booking with them! Thanks, Green Valley and Lakpa, until next time! Bart and Anne

"Life is too Short"
Everest Base Camp had been on my bucket list for years. Tried to recruit some friends but I ended up traveling solo, Green Valley took such great care of me from start to finish. My guide Kesha was amazing and the porters just as exceptional. Not going to sugarcoat the trek as it was the toughest (8) days physically of my life.
Take the altitude medication if you’re not accustomed to the altitude. I came directly from sea level and would not have made it without it.
Definitely get travel insurance; this is a MUST! I watched a lot of people getting sick and having to get evacuated.
I am a single American female +50yrs old and felt 100% safe and taken care of the entire trek. Would recommend Green Valley Trekking over all the other companies I researched and observed on the journey.
I did take a helicopter from near EBC to Kathmandu as I am bit older and did not want to get hurt on the way down. Green Valley organized everything.
Best experience of my life. If you’re thinking about doing one of these treks; just go do it. Life is too short!
