This was my first trek in Nepal but I am already planning a second one next year. It has the most amazing sceneries and the friendliest people I’ve ever met, and there’s nothing like the view on Gokyo Lake and Mount Everest as a reward for one’s efforts. So
worth it.
Our experience with Happyland could not be any better than it was. Our guide was highly skilled and knowledgeable about the landscape of our travel route. He told usabout the local cultures, history, and mythology of the mountains. he was also very friendly and always tried his best to make us feel comfortable. Despite the unexpected weather condition, he helped us to make our trekking experience as best as possible. Happyland treks’ team was working with us for over a year to make a best possible customized trip as we required. They also answered quickly of any queries we had. We got to have this amazing experience only due to the Happyland Trek.
I completed this 14days trek with Happyland Trek as a solo female trekker. I was amazed by the attentiveness, courtesy, hospitality, and graciousness of the team that was assigned to me. I felt completely safe and very well catered after by this team. We were a group of four solo trekkers. I was very fortunate to be with this group. The trek was physically straining, but the trek itinerary, routes, and guide physically conditioned us for the higher altitude treks. The crew made it clear that my safety was their first priority, so I was able to trek worry-free. The guide ensuredour safety and made sure that all our needs were fulfilled. I am extremely grateful for the experience I had and the cherished memories with my trekking group. The culture, Nepalese people, and mountain kingdoms have been enriching and inspirational! Thank you all
One of the most exciting treks I’ve done. The Everest Gokyo Lake Trek is really as more scenic than the classic Everest Base Camp trek. I did The Everest Gokyo Trek around the last week of April. So, the weather was excellent. We were picked up at the Tribhuwan International Airport, and a representative received me at the airport.The next day, we went for exploring Kathmandu valley. Then, towards Gokyo and Everest Base Camp. The whole trip from the beginning was fascinating. Happyland Treks offered me a great guide. He was very helpful throughout the trip. He stayed behind with me even as I was back from the main party. My experience with Happyland was amazing. If I ever visit Nepal, I won’t hire any travel agency other than Happyland.
Happyland trekking agency was everything I wished for. I took a couple of trips with Happyland treks. During my first time in Nepal, they helped me get around the city, picked from the airport. They provided the best service I ever experienced. My first tour was a 15-day Rara Lake Trek. The entire experience was utterly enchanting. They really do put a lot of thought and preparation into everything they do. The guide they had chosen for me was very helpful, patient, and fun. The staffs were knowledgeable about the region. They kept my needs as a priority. I am very glad that I chose Happyland as my trekking agency.
