Everest Panorama Trek
5
What do you say travelers? I leave here my review of the second visit to Nepal, a country that I love. As I said, it is my second visit to this beautiful country, the previous one was combined with a visit to Tibet, so I did not have the time necessary to explore it, do trekking and other activities. For this long stay and long trip through the mountains, exploring the lost Kingdom of Mustang and reaching the Terai, I chose this local travel specialist, which I had already met on my previous trip, in the person of its manager and owner Gokul Sapkota. If you only speak Spanish, you are in perfect hands here, he speaks Spanish very well and he has guides like “Siri” who speak it almost perfectly. Good guide service, your hotel is comfortable, with excellent staff, the guys there are very friendly, everything is well cleaned, the breakfast is good, they organize everything for you, Gokul is attentive to the service all day long, checking if everything is Well, if the guides are good, if the driver (what a good driver, we have traveled hundreds of kilometers on those impossible routes) and everything went in the best way, yyyy look, you have to drive there!!! I take off my hat.
We have done as much activity as we wanted, we trekked to Namche Bazar, we are grown people, Claudia had never trekked in the mountains, and what a debut!! Landing in Lukla is an unusual experience, “Raj” was waiting for us there. If you go to Lukla, look for this guide, his name is Tek Raj Tamang, he does not speak Spanish but he does speak perfect English, a very friendly, kind, polite young man, with a desire to serve the customer worth mentioning. Wow, he is patient, Claudia loves him for her help and collaboration, for her getting to Namche meant an enormous effort and with Raj's help she achieved it, we cried with emotion when we arrived at that beautiful place. If you read this, thank you very much Raj for such a beautiful shared experience. We will never forget returning to “Surket” in that torrential rain to take the helicopter. Well the helicopter flight was fantastic. From there we went with “Siri”, another exceptional guide, who speaks perfect Spanish, for part of the trip Gokul, the owner, accompanied us to the “Lost Kingdom of Mustang” at the other end of Nepal, a fantastic place, very similar to my land here in Patagonia. Argentina. An entire flight itinerary to Pokhara, from there by vehicle, with unforgettable experiences, sharing cuisine in the homes of locals, towns in the middle of that distance, monasteries, there was nothing left to see and learn about the local culture. From there we went to the other end, The Terai with the Indian border, Lumbini. To visit Budha and accomplish something very personal with Claudia. As you can see, we have gone around Nepal in 30 days of travel, everything turned out fantastic, a trip with capital letters. All the services offered were fulfilled, and those that were not were due to major reasons such as the weather, it was monsoon season, so difficulties arose that were resolved in an excellent way, looking for alternatives, other means of travel, additional meals, stays unscheduled, first-class care. We travel to get to know the culture, visit beautiful places, be in contact with people, we do not look for luxuries, but a very good personalized attention service, we do not travel in groups because we do not like it, we do it alone and we look for this kind of attention provided , which I reiterate was excellent to complete our trip. Maybe sometime we will hike Thamel again and visit these friends and hike with “Raj” around the base of Everest.
If you travel there ask for “Raj” and “Siri” (if you need to speak Spanish), they will not disappoint you. Good trip friends!!!
