“Unforgettable experience, incredible views and time on this trek - Myself and 6 other friends recently completed the Gokyo lakes trek with luxury holidays. We were met by our guide ram who instantly put us at ease. Not only did he reassure us of any worries, he consistently adapted to our group to make sure everyone had the maximum experience. The route in which we did was incredible and I will never forget the views of Everest and other mountains within this region. Ram was the friendliest and best guide we could have asked for and we left as friends. Equally Pemba did a fantastic job at keeping up morale and supporting us with porter services. Both ram and Pemba deserve the upmost recognition for the way in which they were with us and if I was to do a trek again with luxury holidays I would only ask for them two! I will never forget this experience so thank you to all involved! The organisation was seamless and our group had an incredible time that we are still talking about. Thank you Ram and Pemba!
