Review
Nepal Social Treks Review
I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)
EBC by Gokyo
If you are planning to do the EBC, the Agency should be Nepal Social Trek and the Guide should be Santa Thabir Magar. Permanent communication during trekking and excellent coordination at all times. The alternative I recommend is Gokyo. Something heavier than the classic, but definitely extraordinary. Also the views of the great mountains during the circuit, are not to forget them
Great guide
The Everest Base Camp trek was amazing. Everything was organised for us. The accommodation and food was better than we expected. Our guide Amrit was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He adjusted our trip to follow our pace. When we got sick, he was extremely helpful and caring, and made sure we got the care we needed. We can't wait to return to trek again.
Great atmosphere for matches, but facilities need improvement. There are no proper food stalls fans really struggle to find snacks or drinks during the game. And Washrooms are overcrowded and unhygienic. Needs serious upgrades for a better match experience.
Perfect location for exciese
Great website
I ordered 4 mugs with the Sistas design. They are perfect! Good quality and I received it within a few days. I appreciated the updates on the status of my shipment. I will definitely order from them again.
5 stars
The site is easy to navigate, cost was fair, product as ordered and delivered very fast (was expecting it to take a lot longer). I’ve been ordering personalized mugs from Gossby for the last few years and I’ll keep going back.
I've purchased many times from Gossby…
I've purchased many times from Gossby so this isn't my first rodeo, but is my first review. They keep me updated on my order and when I can expect it's timely arrival. The website keeps evolving with new items and ideas for purchasing. I will keep going back!
