Langtang Gosainkunda Trek
Woa…what can I say except that it was an experience of a lifetime! My first adventure in Nepal and the Himalayas; definitely an eye opener. The trek was challenging, yet self-paced to enable you to go as fast or as leisurely as you liked. Sali and his team of guides and porters were always there to assist you and support you. The mountain accommodation (tea houses) are basic and there were no expectations, hence no disappointment, but wouldn’t mind any future upmarket tea houses 🙂 Food was good and many a times Sali would ask whether we had any preferences and where possible he would do his best to ensure we got what we wanted. Its important to make us happy along the way and the team tried very hard to do that and hence, grateful for their efforts.
One thing I would like to point out was the sleeping bags. As we elevated to the top and stayed overnight at our last teahouse; the sleeping bag was not warm enough for the cold temperature (for me anyways). Hence, I would suggest to get a slightly thicker type so that we can snuggle from the cold. No sleep, no trek the next day otherwise 🙂
Other than that, I enjoyed the trek tremendously. Attention to detail and looking out for your clients is a must as a guide. We rely on their expertise and experience and would recommend Sali and his team without a doubt. The whole team including the porters were fun and helpful to have around. Thank you for the birthday surprise also, much appreciated. Thanks Sali and team. I shall be back, so look out….cheers
