Ich war mit meiner Frau im Helambugebiet (Sundarijal-Syabru Bensi) Ende Oktober 2013 unterwegs. Das ganze Organisatorische hat die Agentur Trekking Planer von Dipak Lamichhane übernommen. Wir waren sehr von Dipaks Leistung überzeugt, da sich der Porterguide auch immer um unser Wohlbefinden gekümmert hat. Alles hat super funktioniert und wir konnten die herrliche Landschaft in vollen Zügen genießen. Vielen Dank an Dipak und seinem fantastischen Porterguide Rajeswor. Wir werden auf jeden Fall bei weiteren Himalaya-Reisen die Agentur Trekking Planer in Anspruch nehmen. Bistare Bistare!Namaste!
