Beautiful Alternative to the Classic Everest Route
Anna Gotze - from Germany
I chose Gokyo because I wanted to experience the Everest region without following exactly the same route as everyone else. It turned out to be a great decision. The trail around Dudh Pokhari and the Gokyo Lakes was incredibly peaceful, and the views of Cho Oyu and the surrounding peaks were unforgettable. I especially enjoyed the slower mornings in the mountains. Alliance Treks organized everything very well, and our guide was friendly, experienced and easy to communicate with.

Gokyo Lake Was the Highlight of Our Nepal Trip
Oliver Bennett - from United Kingdom
The Gokyo Lake Trek was an amazing experience from beginning to end. I had seen pictures of the lakes before coming to Nepal, but they were even more impressive in person. The walk through Namche, the quieter villages and the views of the mountains made the journey really enjoyable. Climbing Gokyo Ri was difficult for me, but reaching the top and seeing the entire valley was completely worth the effort. Our guide was excellent and always made sure we were comfortable with the altitude and pace.

A Peaceful Himalayan Adventure
Yuki Sato - from Japan
This trek gave me exactly what I was looking for—beautiful nature, quiet trails, and authentic local culture. Ringmo Village and the stunning lake were the highlights of my trip. Alliance Treks provided outstanding service from beginning to end, and I would happily travel with them again.
Beautiful Scenery and Excellent Service
Rossi - from Italy
The landscapes in Lower Dolpo were unlike anywhere else I have visited. Shey Phoksundo Lake is truly one of Nepal's greatest natural wonders. Alliance Treks arranged everything smoothly, and the guide and porter worked incredibly hard to make our trek comfortable. I highly recommend this company.
Perfect Trek for Nature Lovers
Emily Carter - from Australia
If you enjoy peaceful trails and spectacular scenery, this trek is a must. Every day offered something different, from pine forests and waterfalls to breathtaking mountain landscapes. The Alliance Treks team was professional and supportive, and our guide made the experience even more enjoyable with his local knowledge.
An Unforgettable Journey to Shey Phoksundo Lake
Sarah Thompson - from United Kingdom
I wanted a trekking route that was peaceful and different from the popular Himalayan trails, and Shey Phoksundo Lake was the perfect choice. The turquoise lake, waterfalls, and beautiful forests were beyond anything I expected. Alliance Treks handled everything professionally, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive. This was easily one of the best travel experiences I've ever had.
Worth every difficult step
Michael O'Connor - from Dublin
I'll admit there were moments when I questioned why I signed up for a 21-day trek, especially during the long uphill days. But once we reached Sherson and finally stood at Makalu Base Camp, every bit of effort made sense.
The scenery was simply breathtaking, and the feeling of remoteness made the whole experience even more special. We hardly saw other trekkers, which made the mountains feel untouched.
Alliance Treks did an outstanding job from the first airport pickup until the final farewell in Kathmandu. Excellent guides, hardworking porters, and great organization throughout.
I would happily trek with them again on another remote Himalayan adventure.
A real Himalayan expedition
Sofia Martinez - from Barcelona, Spain
This wasn't just a trek—it felt like a genuine expedition into one of Nepal's wildest mountain regions. The route through Makalu Barun National Park was spectacular. We saw colorful birds, yak caravans, waterfalls, glaciers, and endless mountain views. Every day offered something different. Alliance Treks organized everything professionally. Our guide adapted the pace for the group, encouraged us during the difficult climbs, and made sure everyone stayed healthy. The memories from Makalu Base Camp will stay with me forever.
Remote, peaceful and unforgettable
Kenji Sato - from Osaka, Japan
Makalu Base Camp had been my dream trek for years. It was much harder than I expected, but also far more beautiful. The Barun Valley was incredible, especially the days above the tree line, where the landscape became completely wild. I loved how peaceful everything felt compared to the busier trekking routes. The porters and guides worked incredibly hard every day and always greeted us with a smile. Their kindness made a huge difference during the difficult sections of the trek.
Thank you to Kul and everyone at Alliance Treks for making this adventure possible.
