I wanted to write you a note thanking you, your team and especially Himal for the quality of our Gokyo Lake Trekking trip and the professionalism you treated us with. Yvonne and I have done several similar trips together and I can easily say that your organization was the best we have dealt with. In particular, I deeply appreciated the way Himal and you helped me once I got sick -- it was above and beyond the normal service levels. I am recovering quickly and Yvonne and I are already discussing possible future adventures.

Package was included all the accommodation, and the accommodation is pretty good. Meal at mountains, except lunch and dinner at Kathmandu and Pokhara also included, it was free for us to order any desired food at mountains.

We were one of the lucky groups to have access to the Annapurna Santuary days before the Nepalese government closed it, its boarders and grounding of all flights. Our research had found ABC was a trek that teahouses every couple of hours and was relatively safe to do in summertime. As it was March and there was still snowfall with avalanche risk zones so we decided to get a guide to put our minds at ease and give some employment back when tourism was low. We visited several government registered trekking offices but we were overly impressed with the professionalism, safety and good sense of humour from everyone at the offices. From our research on here we dropped into the guys and instantly took a liking to them as they were a friendly bunch of guys. Asked to meet with Milan and knew straight away he would be a great addition to our pairing. He was very helpful, with great English and wanted to shape our trek around our needs and not his own and do it at our pace. He was open to changes to plans and made us feel at ease the whole way up and down. No shortage of interesting traditional facts, wildlife and fauna knowledge, plus a keen photographer, singer and boot fixer extraordinaire! Took our minds off the avalanche zones and allowed us to acclimatise before our ascent. It’s not an easy trek but our guide Milan knows how to make it a good laugh. Ask him to show you his male goat impression!! Even though a guide isn’t mandatory it 100% helps to improve the experience. We saw lots of people do it without and take some very unnecessary risks. Nature is spectacularly beautiful but wicked at the same time. We highly recommend Milan and the team at Sinse Rovers. It’s always good to give employment where possible to decent local tourism business. Enjoy your activity with them it will certainly be memorable!
