Fantastisch! Die Schoenheit dieser Berge und dieses Treks im Besonderen ist schwer in Worte zu fassen ... wer einmal in den Himalayas gewesen ist, wird das nie wieder vergessen koennen. Die Natur ist das eine; das andere ist der ebenfalls schwierig in Worte zu fassende Service, den uns unsere Fuehrer boten. Vom chaotischen Kathmandu bis zum Sonnenaufgang auf dem wunderbar friedlichen Poonhill - die Sicherheit, Gelassenheit und Warmherzigkeit Bimals und seiner Truppe machte alles moeglich. Wir sind Freunde geworden werden ihnen immer dankbar. Dieser Trek ist nur sehr zu empfehlen!

Absolutely wonderful. I feel very lucky to have caught a sight and a breath of this very special place on the planet - it is something I will surely never forget. It wouldn’t have been possible without Bimal and his team, and for that I would like to say thank you. From the busy streets of Kathmandu to the solemn tip of Poonhill, they were calm and composed, warm-hearted guides, and in the end, not only guides but friends. Thank you very much.
