The Nepal trek and the city tour was well organised. For me, it was a combination of factors that all added to my enjoyment of my recent Jomson trek. The spectacular mountain views of the Annapurna region never failed to amaze me. Buit it was certainly not an easy task to walk the country trails, and at times I felt tired and discouraged but Rinji, our trekking guide, always knew how to keep our spirits up. As he walked along with us, he would either whistle or sing Nepali folk songs like “Resham Sembiriri”. Rinji and his trekking team of Karma, Lakpa and Kumar were always cheerful and full of similes for us. As much as I loved Annapurna’s nature and scenary, I equally enjoyed my interactions with Rinji and the rest of the crew.
I was very pleased with Divine International’s staff and services. As this was my first Nepal trek, the briefing by Alice and Deepak prior to the trip was very helpful as it gave me some idea of how to prepare for the trip. During the treks and city tours, both Rinji and Dhurba impressed me with their professionalism and good attitude. I was very appreciative of Rinji’s concern for our safety and comfort – he was always looking out for us to ensure that we did not get into any problems walking the trails or checking whether we needed an extra blanket to keep warm in our tea lodge accommodation.
Having just done the Jomson trek, seen the most beautiful mountains and scenary, experienced the culture and traditions of the land, one trip to Nepal is not going to enough for me. My dream now will be to complete the Annapurna region before going on to trek the Everest region.
