This was our second trip with Jay and his team, and this one was even better than the last. Previously we had done the Phu Nar Valley with him, and after Covid we wanted to do another trek. It was myself (38), my husband (40) and my father (78). Jay arranged everything for us, including making us feel confident my father can make it all the way up to Gokyo Ri (17,500 feet). Jay did an excellent job of making the experience seamless. He arranged all of our transport, meals and lodging as well as a few extra days we had in Kathmandu. If you want a trip that is tailored to you and your needs at a very reasonable trip, work with Jay. He and his team are great trip leaders.

We recently completed our 2nd trek with Jay and Unique Nepal Adventure Treks & Expedition. Just like our first trip, Jay made this trek an amazing and unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Unique Nepal Adventure Treks and will definitely be contacting Jay the next time we plan a trip to Nepal.

Jay Gurung and his company 'Unique Nepal Adv Treks' had organized our trek to Naar and Phu in the Anapurna region in 2019 and made it an awesome, fantastic experience. So it was obvious that we hired him to organize our new trek to the Gyoko lakes and help us attempt the climb of Gyoko-Ri at 5,360m. This time he was our organizer and guide himself and he added Binot our porter from the earlier trek and a new Sherpa who joined us in Lukla to complete his team. We, my daughter and her husband and myself, had an amazing experience. Jay organized everything, getting us from the airport, providing a great hotel in Kathmandu, and on the trek providing three meals, a room in a guesthouse and constant attention to make our trek a safe one. Given my age, 78, he made sure that I kept up with the group and that I had nothing to carry but my fanny pack (even my water bottle was carried by Binot). Add to this that we had great weather and succeeded with the climb of Gyoko-Ri, it was a once in a life-time experience. Small things, like a daily apple and cookies and playing Dhumbal near a warming fire, made us appreciate Jay’s attention to detail in organizing the trek. Overall, I can recommend him and his company most highly for any trek into the high mountains.

Jay, Director of Unique Nepal Adventure Treks&Expedition, has perfectly organized a trip for us from A to Z in Nepal for the second time since 2004. He was easy to work with during the planning pfase,.Thanks to his well-founded knowledge, we were able to learn a lot about the foreign culture in Kathmandu during the tour of the city. The trekking in the Everest area was awesome. Fantastic mountains, flora and fauna. Jay not only knows all the names of the mountains (he really knows ALL of them), but also the respective height. Jay is a storyteller who shared lots of local informations. And he is always in a good mood. He is reliable and punctual. The price-performance ratio is 100% correct. The crowning glory followed in Kathmandu in a traditional restaurant with local entertainment.
Thank you Jay, for making our Nepal trip such a fantastic and unique experience for the whole family! We can recommend the company to everyone, whether for families, groups or individuals! It was just perfect!

Top organization! Best guide! Nothing is impossible here! I don't think anyone can do it better!

It was three wonderful weeks in Nepal! The trekking in Everest National Park was scenically brilliant and well organized. We also visited with him some important historical places in the capital Kathmandu like Durban Square, Monkey Mountain, Swayambhunath, Pashupathinath, Indra Chow market...! Our guide Jay was awesome! He knows a lot about the mountains, fauna, and nature and tells us many stories about the life of the people in Nepal. In addition, he is very friendly and served us fresh apples (the best we have ever eaten) for dessert every evening. We also had a lot of fun playing cards together in the evening.
Jay planned the whole trip very well and adapted it perfectly to our needs. Unique Nepal Adventure Treks & Expedition would be our #1 choice for future trips as well! Thank you for everything!!! 👍😉

We had a wonderful 15 days of trekking with Jay, as well as some RnR days in Pokhara and Kathmandu that he organized. He was easy to work with during the planning phase, and everything was well organized at every step of our journey. Jay and Umess, our porter, were great company and shared lots of local information with us during our trek. We would highly recommend the Nar Phu Valley over the Annapurna Circuit -- remote and very few foreigners, with a fantastic opportunity to experience the rhythm of life in isolated Nepali mountain villages. Tilicho Lake is also spectacular, although the route was busier than normal due to the festival season. Thanks, Jay, for making our Nepal trip such a fantastic adventure!
