TestimonialDear Sonam, We wish to thank you again for your hospitality and this incredible time in Zanskar. We came back to France with a lot of energy and a lot of marvellous memories of our trek, the time with Tundup, our cook, horseman, all the landscapes, nomads people... and of course very nice memories of the time shared with you. Here are some pictures of our trek... We hope that you are in a good shape and that everything is going well for your expedition in Nun. We are sure that we will come back in Ladhak and meet you and Tundup again. Thank you again for everything and take care. With all good wishes, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sonam We thank you very much fo our beautiful visit in Ladakh. Eversthing was perfect. The whole crew did a very good job!! We wish to come back to Ladakh soon. Hansjörg and Christina ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonsoir Wim, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In anticipation of doing a trek in Ladakh that emphasized the mountains, culture, and wildness, I was given Adventure Travel Mark's name by an old mountaineering friend. I contacted Sonam Dawa, and he outlined a agenda for me that was appropriate to the season of the year and to my experience. I've been on numerous Himalayan expeditions, am reasonably fit, and am a long-time mountaineer, but I'm 69-years-old, and I was concerned that the trek would either be too soft or - of greater concern - too hard.It was just right. Three weeks and many Ladakh miles later, it was an absolutely magnificent experience. Culturally, my guide introduced me to the rich, multi-layered Buddhist culture while I was acclimatizing. And on the diverse trek itself, we saw some exotic wildlife, including blue sheep and Tibetan kiang, but no snow leopards (but I'm sure they saw us!). With guide, cook, and ponyman (along with one pony and four mules!), they took care of me. My guide, Norbu, is educated and speaks excellent English, and he will be a lifelong friend. I did lose weight, but it wasn't because of lack of excellent, plentiful food. They also had hearty senses of humor. All were all very capable, and, if I had the choice, were I putting together my own expedition, I pick that exact crew again. Also, the driver - before and after the trek - was very competent. I'm glad I did it. And I'm glad I did it with them. I'd do it again. Sincerely ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sonam, My friend and I engaged the services of your company in August 2006 to take us on a 9 day trek across the wilderness of Ladhak. We had a wonderful experience combining the freedom of independent travel with the support and facilities provided by your excellent staff. The camping equipment was of very good quality, the food was excellent, plentiful and varied. We had a guide, a cook and a pony man and we could not have wished for better companions on this trip. Not only did they fulfil all their duites diligently and with good humour, but they took us to interesting places, introduced us to nomadic tribesmen and were always willing to share their culture with us. Even when things got difficult one stormy night and their tent blew down, they made sure that everything was in place and breakfast served as usual the next morning. Additionally, at the beginning and end of the trip we were provided with a very skilled driver who made us feel safe on these dangerous roads. Your fees were reasonable, your organisation and efficiency first class. I would recommend your company to any prospective clients without hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful trip, Sorry about the delayed communication but it is unsolicited and sincere, Best wishes, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sonam Dawa, Just a few words to tell you that everything has been very good since we have left Leh and that we are well arrived in Belgium this night. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
