Great experience with Green valley! Planning was great and seamless and everyone was very accommodating and friendly! Will come back again for another adventure!

I did the Langtang Valley Trek and I had an excellent experience with Green Valley Nepal Treks. The communication prior to the trip was good and I always got a an immediate answer if I had any questions. The trip itself was well planned and well executed. Anil was a fantastic guide and he really put in efforts to ensure that I had a great experience. He knew the area remarkably well, had good connections to the hosts of the guesthouses and he had a lot of expertise in trekking. Every evening he gave me a briefing about the next day and made sure that the itinerary was aligned to my wishes and expectations. The timing in February was perfect because we didn't come across a lot of tourists and we had good weather for the majority of the trek. The tour offered some amazing views on the Himalayan Landscape and I got a flavour of the tea house culture in the higher altitudes. Overall, the plans we had made worked out smoothly and I had a seamless experience.

Had an awesome experience doing the EBC trek through Green Valley. I had a successful trip reaching EBC and having a great and stress free journey up and back. Had great weather and took lots of pictures. Change of plans and delays were accommodated for and communication with Arjun was swift. My guide Dewan did a great job in making me feel  settled and stress free. I would recommend Green Valley for someone wanting to trek with a company that is reliable, flexible and delivers a great experience.

Jan 2024 • Solo Joined a 12 day winter EBC + Kala Patthar trek in Jan 2024. Arjun was the main coordinator and he was excellent in coordination of logistics and overall preparations. Arrived in Kathmandu and was seamlessly received from KTM airport. Accommodation was arranged at Hotel Thamel. Arjun ensured we had all required equipment and administrative items. Our guide, Gokarna Rai, received us at Lukla Airport. Gokarna was the best guide I could hope for, very upbeat and articulate, and was able to communicate with us with very good English. Throughout the trek, Gokarna closely monitored our well-being, was very helpful in all aspects, accommodated to the speed at which we moved, and all in all an enjoyable person to hike with. Gokarna was very knowledgeable about the mountains and was able to answer any queries we had. He was very encouraging and positive, motivating us to take on the vast distances and strenuous climbs required. He was punctual for all meeting times, ensuring we kept to the schedule, suggesting best practices that made our trek extremely smooth and enjoyable even during challenging portions. He had great navigation skills and always knew the way. I highly recommend Green Valley, Arjun, and most of all, Gokarna as a guide, and I would most definitely ask for him as a guide for future treks in the Everest Region. His deep experience as a guide and endearing nature will ensure that you are safe and have an excellent experience in the mountains. 10/10

I contacted Green Valley Nepal Treks a few months out to plan a family trek to Everest Base Camp. Arjun’s communication and information was decisively detailed and thorough. He planned our EBC itinerary around the dates we were available ensuring every possibility to maximise our adventure. We took our 4 children (ages 24, 17,17,13)and they absolutely loved it, despite the treks physically and mentally demanding aspects, they found it amazing. Our guide Gopal and his team of porters were fabulous.They were professional, caring, attentative to detail, and above all very dependable. Thank you GVNT for fabulous family memories whom we are glad to recommend to anyone who decided to embark on the many trek’s Nepal has to offer. 🗻🥾🎒🚁

I would like to thank the company Green Valley Nepal for the service that we have provided for the entire time we are in Nepal, starting from the company's hospitality for our guide Narandira for serving us and keeping us as a family together with the porter we have Sailesh who is a good person to us and the happiest even though it was It was his first time and he was happy with all the mountain services. I would also like to thank the guide, let us do a Town tour with him. He is very knowledgeable about the things that happened together with the people of Nepal. In the end, our tour was 100 percent successful and I left us happy people with good memories of Green Valley Nepal for making us successful.

Saru, with Green Valley Nepal Treks, led us on a fantastic full day tour of Kathmandu. We had an entire day to see as much of Kathmandu, Nepal as possible. On our list were the seven UNESCO world heritage sites and Green Valley Nepal Treks handled everything, including coordinating each site, and a day long, Driver and Guide. Green Valley Nepal Treks worked hard to help us with our difficult scheduling issues. The entire tour was fun and staff so professional. Saru was our guide and she was awesome. She really knew about all of the sites we visited and took personal care to help us get what we wanted. She was kind, personable and professional. Saru took us to each site and they were so amazing. We were impressed with how she explained cultural and religious practices and also how life is for people in Nepal. I would definitely request Saru on the next trip and recommend her and Green Valley Nepal Trek for people visiting Kathmandu.

My EBC trek with Green Valley was truly remarkable. The organisation was impeccably handled and ensured a smooth experience from the planning, throughout the trek and they also kindly helped me for the rest of my trip in Nepal (Thanks Arjun!) My guide Anil was knowledgeable, and dedicated to making the trek unforgettable! He was always attentive to my well being and gave the best advice throughout the trek. I highly recommend Green Valley for their professionalism, efficiency and kindness of the staff. Looking forward to future adventures with them in Nepal !

I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Green Valley Nepal Treks in the last two weeks of November 2023. My guide Raj Lamalxa Kulung (Raj) and my porter Kershav Rai (Keshav) guided me safely up to the base camp. Having had altitude sickness during a trek in Kyrgyzstan, I was really worried if I could manage these levels of altitude. In the end, I had no problems at all mainly due to the experienced recommendations of my guide, Raj: - Water is key. The more the better. Aim for more than 5 or even 6 Liters a day. Once you get a headache, drink half a liter of water, it will get better. - Trek high, sleep low: On acclimatization days, Raj proposed treks to higher altitudes which helped the acclimatization process. - Keep it slow / frequent breaks: The trek is not technical, so you might want to rush ahead and gain ground. That‘s a mistake. Raj made sure we had sufficient breaks which helped the acclimatization process. - Food and drinks: Raj put a lot of emphasis on eating and drinking the right things. Avoid oily dishes as they may take very long to digest. Avoid non veg items as there is no reliable cooling process for meat in this altitude. Instead go for dhaal bhat, the food of the porters, and ginger tea, due to the positive health effects of ginger. - No preventive intake of medicine. This is the main point why Raj is a 5-star guide: In the teahouses, I have seen many other guides advising their clients to take Diamox against altitude sickness and medicine against headache as a preventive measure without giving them a change to acclimatize naturally at all! I was so happy that Raj was not pumping me full of drugs just to have an easy trek, but instead to meticulously focus on my condition. - Garlic: No recommendation of Raj but of Reinhold Messner: Take either garlic tablets, raw garlic or eat garlic soup at the teahouses. It‘s a natural aid to acclimatization. Apart from his great experience and recommendations, Raj had a great sense of humor and gives great tips what to explore the next time I visit the Everest Region. To sum it all up, the trek was amazing and when I return to do the Three Passes Trek, I will request to do it with Raj and Kershav! There are also some points of improvements you could request if you decide to do the EBC with Green Valley Nepal Treks: - Plan an additional puffer day in Gorakshep: Due to snowfall I was Not able to ascent Kallar Pallar. I highly advise to plan an additional day in Gorakshep to hedge yourself against the unpredictable weather. - Do not trek from Lobuche to Pheriche on your return but instead trek from Lobuche to Dingboche. The winds storming through the valley of Pheriche are freezing! There is no reason to take this route. - If you reach your lunch spot already at 10:30 am or 11 am, just take a tea break and then move on to your final destination. Having a filling lunch and then continuing trekking increases the chances of headaches.

This was my first trek in Nepal.I opted for Gokiyo lakes with Renjo la pass.Overall I had a great experience.Arjun took care of everything.Whole team is nice.Was trekking solo so my request was to have good guide and he provided me the best one Bindra Dai.Looking forward to trek again with Green Valley in near future

My experience with the Green Valley staff and guide and porter were 10/10! I am a solo female traveler and I had several unexpected issues present before and during my trip and the entire experience was as seamless as possible due to the excellent quality of care and consideration of my experience. I am very grateful and will definitely be returning to use the team again. My guide Durga was phenomenal in every way and a great trekking partner. My porter Samdu was amazing as well and I thoroughly enjoyed their company during my Annapurna trek. Highly recommend the entire team!

I had an amazing experience on my EBC Trek! Rabin was our guide and he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about ensuring we had an amazing trek! Arjun at Green Valley was so responsive with any questions . Everything went seam-lessly. Communication was perfect and all the staff were friendly and organized. I will 100% be booking with Green Valley again for my next trek

! Se hai un sogno è giusto avere vicino persone che lo sostengano e lo aiutino ad arrivare fino in fondo! Green Valley ed il suo ottimo Staff mi ha sostenuto prima della partenza dal mio paese in fase di preparazione e lo ha fatto di continuo durante e fino alla finalizzazione dell'esperienza! Indimenticabile .... Inesauribile e senza parole per tutto quello che ho vissuto al meglio! Viaggio e ho in mente di visitare altro e loro so che saranno di nuovo al mio fianco! Una certezza Grazie ragazzi

I am not a person who does online write-ups but this time I feel compelled to do so because of this unbelievable wonderful experience. As a well traveled hiker in the US and other places in the world, I had always dreamed about seeing the tallest mountains in the world. However, planning a trip to Nepal was difficult because of needing enough time off (I am a 59 year old doctor), and frankly my concerns about altitude and fear of getting sick in a foreign country. (I did well on both concerns.) I am so lucky I learned about Green Valley Nepal Trekking from someone very well travelled. She assured me when she used them how great a company it was as far as being professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable that truly had a desire to make sure you had a fantastic experience. This is all absolutely true! I couldn’t get over how easy it was to correspond with Arjun (one of the two owners. The other is Raj who my friend worked with). We were able to correspond easily by text, email and by phone on WhatsApp. I was impressed by the way he always got back to me promptly. When working with other excellent American travel companies such as Backroads or Boundless Journey, they often had to take days to get in touch with their contact in the foreign country to get back to me and often had limited flexibility even on private trips. With Green Valley you cut out the middleman, which has great advantages. One, you get your your answers direct from the source who is on the ground and knowledgeable, not a middleman who acts like a relay station. Secondly, your cost is much more reasonable and you feel good that your payment is going directly to the hard working local people who are really running the trip. I contacted Arjun often before the trip. He was always very open to all my detailed and neurotic questions and while he gave me choices and was open to my requests, he always steered me in the right direction. My trip was a private one to Annapurna Base Camp with a private guide and 2 porters. Arjun himself, picked me up at the airport and took me to my superb Marriott hotel in Kathmandu. Promptly I met Krishna my trekking guide and likely my lifelong friend. Krishna is a super enthusiastic, friendly and dedicated guide who has worked for Green Valley I believe for about10 years. Despite having plans to have a separate private guide at the end of the trip in Kathmandu, Krishna was available to walk me around Kathmandu which he did until I was too exhausted. By the way, I am from the NYC area and know how to drive and walk the streets of Manhattan but truly was outside of my element and needed help crossing the streets of Kathmandu that first day. The next day we flew to Pokhara where I had a wonderful tour there and had my last day to recover from jet lag for the main attraction, the trek. The next 10 days were spectacular, hiking with Krishana and my 2 Supermen (they are technically called porters. But I am telling you, Sahila and Bhim are each a Superman.) These three people on my team, were so happy to see me enjoying myself, and they did everything they could everyday to help find ways to make it easier or more enjoyable for me. Krishna often called ahead to the tea house we were going to stay in to make sure I got the best room. I so enjoyed spending time with these three guys. The gods of Nepal must have been on our side this trip. We had fantastic weather and views the first 2 weeks of November. The one time we had a little rain was right after we arrived at our tea house for the day, but with great humility when I said to Krishna that was so lucky, he responded, “that just proves what a great guide I am.” I will ramble on to anyone who will listen to me since returning from this trip about the stunning hike, the monkeys that came out to entertain us on the trail, the excellent vegetarian food I was surprised to enjoy so much, the amazing star gazing at Annapurna base camp and fortuitously after the trek being lucky enough with Krishna to see the Buddhist Monkey Temple, the Aarati ritual ceremony at the Hindu Pashupati Temple and witness the celebration of the Festival of Tihar on returning to Kathmandu. My experience from beginning to the end of this trip with Green Valley was perfect. Arjun the owner and my team that I trekked with fantastic. They were honest, friendly positive and beyond helpful. You will want to tip your guides and porters well. You will see, they earned it. While I thought this trip to Nepal was a once in a lifetime trip. I was wrong. I am already planning another trip with Green Valley with Krishna as my guide during rhododendron season in the spring. Let me very clear. I without hesitation, will tell you most of your issues with planning a trek to Nepal are over if you decide to use Green Valley.

My friends and I did the Annapurna Circuit Trek and had an amazing experience! Arjun took care of everything from the office and our guide Purba along with our 4 porters did a great job making the trek a comfortable and enjoyable experience. This is a great local guide company which I 100% recommend. We made some modifications which I will suggest below: - Go for a private bus from Kathmandu instead of the public one ($20pp, well worth it) - Fly from Pokhara back to Kathmandu instead of taking the bus ($100+ extra, 30min flight or 9 hour bus right? Think about it.) - Spend more time in Pokhara, it is a much more enjoyable city than Kathmandu.

I went on the 10 day Everest Base Camp private group trek with helicopter back to Kathmandu with my 2 brothers and my sister-in-law Nov 3-12, 2023. I'd highly recommend this trekking company. Arjun the business owner used to be a Nepal guide himself for many years before starting his own trekking company. They know the experience well, and they've thought of every detail to make your trip to Nepal wonderful. From briefing us with trip details & packing list beforehand, arranging airport pickup/dropoff, hotels before and after the trek, helicopter flights, and all the details of the trek itself, they made this a very well-planned, smooth, and fun trip. Arjun is always super responsive and helpful over WhatsApp, and helped accomodate us when we needed to add an extra person, and when we wanted to switch our itenerary to stay in Dingboche an extra day to acclimatize to the altitude. They also had great recommendations for things to see in Kathmandu for our last day before the flight out. Their whole team speaks very good English, and are really friendly, knowledgeable, humble, and fun. Their partnering helicopter pilot actually climbed to the very top of Everest two years ago and was sharing his experience — so cool to meet him! After the pilot dropped us off back in Kathmandu, Arjun invited us to dinner with his lovely wife and two adorable kids, and even took us to see all the lights and colorful sand art around town, as it happened to be Diwali. If you're doing the Everest Base Camp trek, ask if our guide Gokarna is available! Green Valley Nepal has 40+ guides (I haven't met all of them and I'm sure they're wonderful since Arjun & his team vets them all), but I can personally vouch that Gokarna is truly amazing! My siblings and I had so much fun hiking with him. He not only is a super planner and took care of every detail along the trek, from hotels, meals, and the hike itself, but he's also so much fun to hike with. I haven't met someone before with such positive energy, warmth and joy, and truly loves guiding his clients, making friends with them, and making sure they have a really fun and memorable time! He shared with us about the Nepali and Sherpa culture, learned about ours, and shared with us trekking & Everest history. It was so nice to have a local Nepali as our guide. He's friends with so many of the other guides, porters, and hotel & restaurant owners — it was fun; it felt like we were hanging out with friends at the various stops. Gokarna would even run uphill at all the prettiest photo spots to help hold a spot for us so we didn't have to wait as long in the photo line — I don't know how he's never out of breath; my brothers and I are panting going uphill. 😆 One of the days my brother lost his favorite hat at a previous pit stop, and Gokarna was so sweet to run back over a mile to try to find it for him. Gokarna is very caring and attentative, and helped take care of my brothers who weren't feeling well toward the higher altitude. Us two girls didn't get any altitude sickness (girl power 🙌😜). Gokarna would guide us at a pace that worked for all of us, and also made sure we're safe during bridge and yak crossings, and icy sections. He is also very funny, joked around with us, and kept us positive and excited even though some days our legs were dead tired. I am excited to come back and hike other beautiful treks in Nepal again! Will definitely be using Green Valley Nepal and requesting Gokarna as my guide 😊 I am genuinely happy to support this small business and all the wonderful Nepali people they hire.

We successfully completed our trip of a lifetime with green valley. They were fantastic from day one with regard to everything. The main guide Bishwa and assistant guides Karen and Revanth were so helpful and great throughout the journey. Arjun was always available for all the queries and that made the planning for this trip easier. Really grateful to Green Valley for everything. Special thanks to our porters too- the unsung heroes of the mountains.

Did the EBC trek, went with a really good and caring guide, as well as porters! Very good organised!
