I recommend Nepal Wilderness Trekking agency Himal Ghale firstly for his professionalism. He was flexible, prompt in his email communication, punctual for meetings and clear in what he was providing. If you want reliability, this is your man.
Himal purchased out permits and fixed us up with a porter guide (Diwan from Lukla) and a porter for our trek in the Gokyo valley in November 2012. We were delighted with the two of them and also the backup support from Himal’s friend in Lukla’ (who was help at the airport). He also arranged a one-hour class with a teacher of Nepalese language. That proved very useful.
