spent our honeymoon in Nepal in December 2006. The most vivid impressions of the country and the culture we got on our trekking tour to Poon Hill with Ammar Guni. We highly recommend him and his company Gokyo Treks & Expeditions to all those who want to get a deep insight into Nepaland who appreciate well organized tours.'Karin Schneider and Karl Haag, Freiburg , Germany.

I am happy to give you details of our trekking trip with Ammar. We were a group of four (my wife, our daughter and her boyfriend) and we started on October 20 th from Kathmandu , flying into Lukla and trekking for 16 days up Everest base camp and Kalapattar. This was our third time of trekking in Nepal , before we had been in Langtang/Gosainkund and in the Annapurna region up to ABC, and the Everest region is certainly the most spectacular one. But, obviously, it is also the most crowded one. Ammar had been a perfect guide for us, extremely helpful in choosing the proper lodges, getting our food ready in time, and just making life as easy and entertaining as possible. Although he is young, he has a lot of experience in these regions, and, what is very helpful, a lot of friends among the locals. This can be useful: for example the boss at the airport of Lukla is his friend. You might have heard of problems arising in Lukla when the weather is bad for several days and the planes cannot fly. Then tourists are getting nervous because they might miss their international flights. And here Ammar´s friend would be very helpful and find you a place on a plane for flying out. Furthermore, Ammar´s rates are quite decent, much cheaper than when you book with one of the large trekking organizations. And finally, he managed to choose three porters for us which were the best we had. They even came back several times, after they had reached the day's destination, to help us with our own bags. I had never experienced that with other porters we had so far. Don´t hesitate to ask further questions, I am happy to answer, and had a good time there. Best wishes, and namaste (as a training for Nepal ).

Liebe Landsleute,
ich war mit Ammar , meinem Trekking Guide , vom 13.05.2009 bis zum 01.06.2009 auf dem Everest Base Camp Trek unterwegs. Diese Reise war ein voller Erfolg und es hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht zusammen mit Ammar die Bergwelt zu erkunden. Ammar ist ein guter und aufmerksamer Guide und die Reise war gut organisiert. Er konnte alles wunderbar erklaeren und er hat ein gutes Fachwissen ueber die buddistische Glaubensgemeinschaft. Am Abschluss unserer Trekkingreise haben wir beide erfolgreich am Mt. Everest Marathon teilgenommen . Dank den Tipps von Ammar , konnte ich als bester Deutscher den Wettkampf beenden und somit eine sehr schoene Reise erfolgreich beenden.
Ammar ist als Trekkingguide zu empfehlen ,er ist lustig und unkompliziert , trinkt nicht und ist aufmerksam.

" Sono stata in Nepal nell'agosto del 2009, viaggiavo da sola. Ho trovato in Ammar più di un amico, una persona attenta, onesta, preparata e istruita. Grazie a lui ho potuto vedere il Nepal come a nessun viaggiatore è concesso di vedere. E' sicuramente la scelta migliore che si possa fare se si vuole scoprire il vero spirito del Nepal e affidarsi a una professionalità di tutt'altro livello rispetto alle altre"
