Amazing Gokyo Lakes and Renjo La Pass trek experience
Nov 2022
We had the trip of a lifetime trekking in the mountains of Nepal. Ten of us from New Zealand arrived in Kathmandu to start our adventure with our guides Dawa and RD from Traveltimes Treks. Everything was well organised from our arrival, stay in Kathmandu, transportation, flights, food, drink and accommodation on our 16-day trek. Safety was paramount and Dawa and RD kept a check on all of us monitoring any signs of altitude sickness. No pressure was put on you to go faster than you were able, and you always felt safe and well looked after with one guide at the front and one at the back. With our great guides we got to enjoy the beauty and culture of Nepal and the people. Dawa is a man of great integrity, very knowledgeable and passionate, and we had complete trust in him. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. We would definitely recommend Dawa and RD from Traveltimes Treks.

Traveltime treks, in particular our guides, Dawa Tamang and Raksha Raj Tamang were a great team to introduce us to the beauty of Nepal. They are both very knowledgeable, capable, respected and experienced. I felt safe and taken care of despite some illness we had in our group. Changes in itinerary was managed very smoothly. Dawa also made sure we had rooms with great views, unlimited food and facilities throughout our hike. Rakhsha was great with the younger members in our group. I would highly recommend both of them.

Very nice time traveling with Dawa
Oct 2022
Traveling in Nepal with Dawa is an excellent experience. He is familiar with the terrain, really passionate about the trip, know every single river, lake or mountain in the way.  Very experienced and responsible guide. Know’s all the risk the mountain contain (like weather, height sickness and etc).

To conclusion, Dawa is a really nice man traveling with, and making the all experience of travelling Himalaya much happier.

I took part in the trek to Everest Base Camp in 2009. It was by far the best thing I’ve ever done. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and extremely impressive, despite some pretty high bridges! Dawa was our guide and I don’t think we could have found anyone who knew more about the Himalayas. He was very informative and knew the names and stories of every landmark/peak/trail, and even where to find snow leopards. Altogether a trusty guide and a great guy. You won’t regret it!

Quite possibly the trip of a lifetime! Everest Base Camp was a challenging yet amazing trip and it was made all the better by Dawa and his team. He looked after my fellow colleagues and myself and made sure it was an enjoyable trek. At no point did I feel uneasy about undertaking such a tough trek. Dawa is a friendly, experienced and passionate guide who has years of experience of trekking in the Nepalese mountain ranges. He was a pleasure to be around and as a result of his help in organizing one of the best trips of my life, I now count him as a close friend. I would thoroughly recommend Dawa and his team to anyone thinking of visiting Nepal and wanting to experience the beautiful scenery on offer!

“I would highly recommend Traveltime Treks to anyone traveling to Nepal. I completed two treks with them and could not have been treated better. My traveling partner and I custom-tailored an itinerary that met our needs. As in most treks, there were changes due to unforeseen circumstances, but all were handled seamlessly by our guides. Dawa is experts in the trekking industry.”

Jerry Galiley, USA

My trip to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar peak in December 2010 was among the most memorable treks I have ever undertaken. The extraordinary beauty of the Nepal Himalaya was visible everywhere, thanks to an unbroken spell of brilliantly clear weather. The entire trek of 12 days was extremely well managed and led by Dawa Lama Tamang of Traveltimes Treks Pvt. Ltd. Their in-depth knowledge about the country side and the peaks that loomed all around together with the unfailing courtesy and service of the entire Traveltimes Treks team of support staff rounded off this trek in the most enjoyable way possible. For those looking for a professional, hassle-free trekking experience of the first order, I strongly recommended Traveltimes Treks Pvt. Ltd., Kathmandu, Nepal.

I always think of you and the wonderful trip whenever I hear about Nepal or see photos. I look forward to returning, hopefully with my daughters and possibly my wife. It’s hard to say when I’ll return, but it is constantly on my mind. Good luck with your company!

There are very few people I’d choose as Sirdar/Leader to lead a trek in the Himalayas of Nepal, and SuperKalu is at the top of the list! He’s a great friend to have on a hike or trek, and I’d always trust his planning and leadership and good communications skills (and nice sense of humor) to make the trek come out well. Heck, we biked over Thorong La and down to Jomsom, Tatopaani, Beni and Pokhara with him! He’s the MAN! Best wishes!!

My friend and I trekked with Traveltimes to Annapurna Base Camp in 2010, and had an amazing time. Dawa provided a great guide, Khamsang, who was kind, considerate, strong as a horse, patient, helpful, friendly – he also had great suggestions for options on the trek, and was helpful in securing a place to sleep in a couple of stops due to overcrowding. We always felt very safe and looked after with Traveltimes. Dawa made arrangements for us to get to Pokkara, accommodations in Thamel, transfers to\from the airport in KTM as well as Pokkara – everything was perfect, which can sometimes be a big challenge in Nepal. We also used Traveltimes to go to Everest Base Camp, and then on to Gokyo Lakes which remains one my most favorite treks ever. Dowa was our guide on that trip, and he planned everything perfectly for a trip that will provide me with many wonderful memories for the rest of my life. He is very service oriented, communicates a lot with the clients, asks questions and will help you enjoy your time in Nepal. He is a good business owner and has been doing this for many years – not some fly-by-night company – of which there are many in Kathmandu. The next time we’re in Nepal, we won’t think about using any other company except Traveltimes. Larry Baker

Reputable, trustworthy company – experience of a life time!!
Dawa at travel times treks was brilliant from the beginning. He gave us lots of information and options. Eventually my partner and I chose to trek from Lukla to gokyo lakes. It was well chosen as we really wanted to seeEverest but also get away from the regular tour groups on the way to base camp. We met our guide Kamsang in Kathmandu. He was just lovely. And the the adventure began! It was a magical journey and one that we will always remember. Yes, it was physically challenging but khamsang was so patient and caring which really helped.We stayed in lovely rustic accomodation along the way with interesting and friendly hosts. Beware, it’s not for the faint hearted as it is very basic and quite challenging but soooo worth it! We also hired a porter and had a lovely young strong man who was due to start university next year. There is no way we could have managed our own bags but I would have felt terrible if a really old person was carrying them like you saw with some of the big trekking companies who got the porters to carry about 4 bags at once! We would love to go back and do more trekking in the area and would choose travel time treks again without a doubt! It’s great to get the personal touch. Thanks again team!! Nicola Tee

Review of: Everest High Passes Lodge Trek

Our guide RD Tamang was fantastic, he is well experienced in the Everest region and very tentative to our needs. When we felt sick near the basecamp, he advised an alternate route to go down first and then use a different (very quiet and nice) trail to reach Gokyo, which was critical for us to finish the trek.
