Thank you for a fantastic experience in the Himalaya, with Ramesh and Gopal who enhanced our enjoyment immensely. Ramesh’s knowledge and communication skill, and Gopal’s humour and strength made things a lot easier for us. The weather was glorious throughout; the scene of the himalaya, and the friendliness of the people of Langtang all made for a memorable experience in Nepal; Land of contrasts !
