This is our 2nd trip to Nepal with happyland treks. The first time in 2020 we did a Poon hill trek in the Annapurna region, and this time we went to Gokyo Valley. It’s incredible views of the Lake and Himalayas at a high altitude. Gokyo Ri has the best view but lots of climbs. We did smoothly with the helpful guide Kamal. We always had the best adventure trip with happyland treks. Thank you and recommend it to all.
