Dear Bishnu
I have been back home for over a week now and I am still searching for the right words to express my thanks for the wonderful 3 weeks I had in Nepal with your company Nature Trail. I left Richard to pick a trek that he wanted to do but when he said we were to do the Annapurna Circuit I did ask if it was within my capabilities and he just “you can do it Dad”!! So I had to, hadn’t I!! And in 15 days!!
The sightseeing in Kathmandu that was arranged round the Trek was brilliant!! The Everest flight stunning!!
I was eager to get Trekking so the drive to Besisahar couldn’t come soon enough! Every days walk seemed better than the last. Gannesh was superb. His advise on eating and hydration was needed and with his knowledge of the area the walking seemed the easy bit. He set the right pace at the right time as well sorting out all our resting, eating and sleeping spots.
The high spot had to be getting to the top of the Thorung La without any altitude problems.
On reaching the top I got a “well done” from Gannesh and the same from Richard followed by “I told you, you could do it Dad”. What a moment to savour!!
The “downhill” to Pokhara was still just amazing. The views plus places like Kagbeni, Muktinath, Tatopani, Poon Hill and Ghandruk will stay in my mind forever. A bit more sightseeing in Kathmandu and then to finish on the last night at Dwarikas was brilliant.
Thanks again to you and your staff, it was great to meet you all in your office and maybe I will come to see you and your country again sometime.
Best wishes to you all.
