Mount ChoyuEverestLhotse and Makalu etc Everest Base Camp Trek is more renowned while the Gokyo Lake Trek is best destination if you are really interested after mountains and alpine scenery. It is the serene lake of Gokyo situated at the altitude of 4,750 m and nearby Gokyo-Ri 5,350 m, which gives us one of the excellent view of the lakes as well as the scenic view of Mt. Everest and others surrounding mountains of the Everest region. All the mountains views are eye-catching from here and the Ngozumpa Glacier (which is largest in the Nepal Himalayas) can be seen from a ridge above the valley of Gokyo - RI

Kathmandu:

Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), is the largest and only international airport in Nepal, located 5.5 km east of the popular tourist neighborhood of Thamel.

International Flights:

Whilst Kathmandu lacks direct flights to most of Europe, Africa, North and South America and Australia the airport is well connected and it is usually possible to reach Kathmandu with only one change of flight, in most cases using the same airline.

Domestic Flights:

Commercial domestic flights are available to/ from Bhairawa, Bharatpur (Nepal) l, Biratnagar, Dhangarhi, Janakpur, Nepalganj, Pokhara, Simara, and Tumlingtar. Domestic flights take about an hour and cost USD 175 - 200. The primary domestic airlines are air viva, Yeti, Nepal Airlines, and Buddha Air. Domestic flights are almost always delayed and afternoon flights run the risk of cancellation as delays from the morning compound. Domestic flight schedule are available at Nepal Air Flight

Prices for domestic flights are two tier. Nepalese citizens pay significantly less than foreign visitors. A flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj for example, is the equivalent of USD 175 for Nepalis but USD 200 for foreign nationals. While flights can be booked online it is often cheaper to book them in Nepal through an agent.

Baggage Handlers & Concerns:

Your luggage is vulnerable entering and leaving this airport. Do not keep anything of value in checked bags, and if you lock the bag, the zipper may be forced open and broken. There is little to no security for your bags. You should also be aware that most luggage is treated quite poorly in Nepalese airports. It is recommended that all fragile and valuable items be kept in your carry on luggage.

Be aware that when you collect your luggage, an "airport baggage cart collector" may appear and assist you with a baggage trolley. Unless you insist on handling your own baggage, your items will be loaded on the trolley and will be conveyed with you to the entrance of the terminal. You will then be expected to pay a tip to this person. Arriving just beforehand in Nepal, you will often only have larger denomination foreign currency in your pocket, making the issue of a tip a bit of a problem. It's fine to pay the tip in foreign currency but make sure you have some small bills or coins on hand (even a dollar or two will be significant to Nepalis).

Money Exchange at the Airport:

Try not to exchange money at the airport as there are service charges and lower rates offered than what you can get in Thamel or elsewhere in the city. If you Exchange your Money with us, you can definitely get better rates than Money Exchange so before going to your trip ask , our responsible person of the Company. If you keep the exchange receipt, you could change back to your original currency at the rate on the receipt.

Unforgettable EBC-Gokyo Trek

As a celebration for my 40th birthday, we (me, my wife and four other friends) decided to venture through the EBC-Gokyo trek last November. It was a memorable journey and we couldn't thank Nabin, Krishna, Phuri, Kumar and everybody else at Himalayan Magic Treks enough. Nabin made all the arrangements seem easy from Kathmandu, there was not a single request we made it was not possible to adjust. Krishna was a very reliable and knowledgeable leader at the mountain and back at the lodges always dedicated to provide us with the best possible comfort. Phuri and Kumar were also fantastic, very helpful, responsible, they really took care of all of us. Besides all this, and as important as, they were very, very good friends. I miss you guys, and miss our daily trekking routine, I miss Nepal. Thanks you so much.

Renjo-la pass Gokyo via Basa november 2017

A nouveau, nous voici au Népal,et pour ma part ce sera la 17° fois !
Nous avons choisi de repartir avec Himalayan Magic Treks. Leur professionnalisme et l'attention qu'ils portent à leurs clients nous ont à nouveau satisfaits.

Le point fort de ce trek est de pouvoir contempler l'Everest.Bon nombre de touristes fréquente cette région et nous souhaitions pouvoir, dans un premier temps profiter de moments calmes.

Ce trek a une durée de 21 jours ce qui permet d'être acclimater avant " d'attaquer" la haute montagne.Nous n'allons pas décrire l'itinéraire jour par jour, mais mettre l'accent sur ce qui à nos yeux ont été les points les plus forts de ce voyage.Nous sommes partis de Salleri accessible depuis KTM après 10 heures de route.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans le monastére de Ghumne Mera et sa fabuleuse gompa,

Nous avons pu assister à la puja du soir dans une atmosphère remplie de spiritualité , puis nous avons dormi dans les chambres attenantes au monastère dans un confort n'ayant rien à envier aux lodges népalais.Un moment inoubliable car nous avons eu le privilège d'être spectateurs de la vie du monastère.

Nous avons ensuite rejoint le village de Basa ou nous avons dormi 2 nuits. Basa est un village paisible situé à une altitude de 1950 mètres et la végétation y est luxuriante.

Nous avons pu découvrir une région du Népal très peu affectée par le tourisme de masse, et faire la connaissance des parents de notre guide Sitaram.

Cette halte restera longtemps gravée dans nos mémoires.Puis nous sommes partis en direction de Namché Bazar, en passant par Bankar et Phakding

Apres deux nuits d'acclimatation à Namché Bazar, nous sommes partis sur Thamé dernière halte avant de franchir le Renjo La Pass ( 5360m ).

On part tôt car la journée est un peu plus longue que les précédentes.Il fait froid ( face nord ) et les derniers 100 mètres ne se font pas en courant....

Mais au sommet quel bonheur de pouvoir contempler l'Everest, le Lhotsé, le Tamserku, l'Ama Dablang ,le Makalu ainsi que le lac de Gokyo aux couleurs bleu turquoise? vert émeraude?,

Peu importe tout cela est magnifique! Ensuite 6 jours pour rejoindre Lukla après un passage à Tingboché ( pour nous essentiel )
Ensuite vol pour KTM.

En résumé Sitaram a une nouvelle fois su être attentif à nos besoins, notre rythme de marche, nos centres d'intérêts
Notre porteur, Prakash, s'est magnifiquement occupé de nous tout au long de ce périple,son sourire et sa bonne humeur ont largement contribué à rendre ce

voyage parfaitement réussi !

Encore merci à toute l'équipe d'Himalayan Magic Treks,Nabin Karki et surtout à Sitaram qui a su par son attention, son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse rendre une fois de plus ce voyage inoubliable ,impossible d'imaginer ce voyage sans toi Ami !

Et le ciel népalais a su rester bleu en ce mois de novembre.Et nous reviendrons encore et encore.
Le Népal a une place de choix dans nos cœurs

Simply The Best Trekking Agency in Nepal

We just returned from a Jiri to Thame trek with 4 children under 7 years old, organized by Himalayan Magic Treks, and of our 6 trips to Nepal, this was by far the best. Krishna Karki is by far the most conscientious and effective guide of the 6 we've used, and the porter team he and Nabin put together was extraordinarily good, again the best we've ever worked with. Our group was a challenge, because we had porters carrying young children, but each porter bonded with the children and became like surrogate parents, earning the trust and love of each of our children. We recommend Himalayan Magic Treks unequivocally, and plan to use them on all treks in the future. Don't hesitate to book with them!

Un trek magique

Nov 2022

Je recommande fortement cette agence qui nous a organisé en Novembre un trek de 11 jours à partir de Lukla et qui nous a conduits aux lacs de Gokyo. Nous étions 3 , accompagnés par notre guide Dipak qui s'est révélé à la fois très compétentl et très sympathique. Il n'a pas son pareil pour repérer les animaux ( bouquetins, daims musqués , "dampho " etc.... ) Nos deux sherpas, Sambu et Ganesh, étaient aussi très attachants. Ce fut un séjour inoubliable grâce à cette équipe. Quant aux paysages, ils sont carrément à couper le souffle! Merci pour ces beaux moments!

Very reliable service

As a couple (64/65) we trekked the Everest region from Lukla to Dole and back with Himalayan Magic Treks. This family run company is perfectly organised and very reliable. Guide Krishan and porter Ganesh became true friends. They reacted helpful and flexible when we had to turn due to illness. Cancellations and new bookings were done without problems, Nabin was always in reach to realise our short-term altered plans. We were very grateful and happy to meet the Karki family at their home, celebrating Nabin's birthday.

We highly recommend Himalayan Magic Treks for your mountain adventure and we will certainly come again.

Nabin is the MAN!

When planning a Gokyo trek, we got the best advice and planning from Nabin. He took the time to come down to our hotel and give us amazing advice and perspective. I recommend Nabin and Himalayan Magic Treks above anyone. You won't be disappointed at all!
