This was my third trip to Nepal, my second organised by Arjun, and my first with my colleague and trek partner, Lauren.
Once again, Arjun's organisation and communication throughout was second to none. I was left in no doubt that all would run smoothly. Even when minor issues arose (not the fault of OutfitterHimalaya), they were quickly resolved to our satisfaction.
The trek itself was everything we had anticipated. Remote, uncrowded, beautiful and tough. Ably led by our guide, Dipak Rijal, and supported by our porter, Loktu, who both checked on and looked after our welfare throughout our trek. Dipak's knowledge and 13 years of experience showed as he expertly guided us across multiple landslips and earthquake damage. Dipak's support, particularly during the icy crossing of Larke La, was impressive.
Lastly, I want to pay tribute to the friendliness of the Nepali people. A nation that has had more than its' fair share of natural disasters, the Nepali people still greet all comers with warmth and a wonderful smile.
I fully recommend OutfitterHimalaya when you are planning a visit to Nepal and/or Bhutan. Whether it be a leisurely, cultural tour of either country, or something more strenuous. Namaste.
