Excellent Trek provider - Right from the beginning, I was very impressed with Pradeep's commitment to making my trek as smooth as possible. Considering the problems with almost all flights going into the everest region cancelled for a number of days(leaving thousands stranded at ramechap airport), Pradeep worked tirelessly to find a solution so that I could still make the trek and kept me continuously informed with the situation so I was in the loop. Lo and behold, I was able to snag a seat on a helicopter into Surke thanks to his work and I was able to begin my trek just in the nick of time. Once there I met my guide, Bole, a very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly guy who was very nice and knew precisely how far and fast I should go each day as well as fielding my questions. The teahouses were good and the itinerary was well put together so that altitude sickness was never an issue for me. I was able to cap the trek off with an incredible sunrise trek up to the top of Gokyo Ri. Finally, even coming back was very smooth, with a direct flight back to KTM arranged with no fuss and no waiting around. I would highly recommend and would use again if/when I'm back in Nepal.

Reviewing the Gokyo Lake trek - I went trekking on the Gokyo Lake route. Firstly, I contacted Pradeep. He responded quickly and provided detailed answers, which helped me decide to go with Magical Nepal. This route is very beautiful and memorable. My guide, Mitra, was really kind and patient. Our group walked slowly, but he supported us well, along with the porters. Sometimes, I would walk ahead the group, and porters Bikash and Sangam would come to check on me. The places we stayed were great. The only tough part was the ride to Ramachep for our flight because the road was damaged by flooding and landslides, making it a bit rough. But the team made sure we traveled in a private vehicle, so it wasn’t too hard. In summary, this trip was absolutely wonderful. I could enjoy the trekking without any worries, thanks to the excellent support from the team. The scenery was stunning. It was truly worth every moment!

Amazing experience - It was an amazing experience trekking into the Gokyo region. The terrain is very manageable and the trails were well maintained. Weather was unfortunately not on our side for some days, but that is all the more reason to come back again. Our guide Dilman and our team of porters provided immense support to our team of 7. Despite being a larger group and having to accommodate for sickness/varying speeds, we had utmost confidence in Dilman and his team as they assisted us along the way, putting our concerns to rest. They were a jovial bunch and were great company along the trail. This is my second time traveling with MagicalNepal and I cannot recommend them enough. Pradeep was very communicative via email and addressed all our concerns months before we even embarked on this trip. There were multiple changes along the way but everything was organized so well, we just had to turn up with our backpacks and things went really smoothly. Huge kudos to Pradeep and team! We will be back to conquer our next heights with MagicalNepal.

Great trip with good company and amazing views! - The entire 10/11 days hike was definitely tough, but we were rewarded with great views and great company! Our guide, Dilman and the team of porters really took very good care of us as well and made sure no one was left alone even though our group of 7 had very different hiking speeds. Our accommodations and meals daily were very comfortable and well taken care of, I felt very at ease throughout the trip. Already missing my time in Nepal so much, will definitely be back again for more exploration!

A very memorable trek! - A very memorable trek to Gokyo. All thanks to our guide Dilman for being very understanding and attentive, and the porters for tirelessly transporting our stuff from one tea house to the other. Everyone in the team was very sporting and fun to be with, and I will remember this for a long long time! Till next time :)

Magical! - It was an absolutely amazing trip with our guide, Dilman, and his dedicated team of porters. They were very attentive to our group’s needs and were extremely hospitable. Dilman gave very useful tips to us struggling with the altitude and a multitude of sickness. It was such a blessing to wake up to amazing views everyday and experience the beauty of Nepal.
