Wow! What an adventure.
The eight day long Langtang Trek was spectacular.
Our guide, Man Sunuwar or “MB” as we called him, was wonderful. He led
us ‘slowly, slowly’, at a pace that allowed us to appreciate the lush
rainforest as we made our way along the Langtang River, up into the great
glacier shaped valley with long vistas of the Himalayas. More importantly,
the ‘slowly, slowly’ guaranteed that our steady ascent allowed us to
successfully reach Kyangjin Ri and return successfully. No blisters, no
complaints. Nothing but memories of spectacular views, great meals -
nothing too spicey at our request, and a peek at mountain culture.
It was a tremendous excursion and I can’t think of a better organization
than Snow Leopard to plan it.
Once we returned to Kathmandu, Yankila Sherpa, Snow Leopard’s owner,
arranged a city guide and driver for a tour Durbar Square, Pashupatinath
and Patan – the old quarters of the city. Yankila also arranged for us to see
Mount Everest, Sagarmatha, by air.
Yankila Sherpa, MB and Snow Leopard Trekking took great care of us
from our initial contact from the US to the time we left Kathmandu. We
couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and attentive tour company.
