Lowell Van Zuiden " What was a wonderful holiday around the Annapurna circuit Trek" |
|
Thank you for your note. Yes we have arrived back home and are back to the routine. Arjun went home via Europe where he spent several weeks and visited his sister in London. He is now getting ready to return to university. I am back to replacing arthritic joints and anticipating my next trip to Chennai for an orthopedic meeting.
Arjun and I had a wonderful time on our trek around the Annapurna circuit. All aspects of the circuit were enjoyable especially the scenic views such as the approach to the town of Tal and Manang, the visit to the hundred rupee lama, the trek from Manang to Throng La, ascending and descending from Throng La on an absolutely spectacular day with the scenery to match and having the opportunity to hike through the beautiful valleys and experience the wonderful ethnic, geographic and cultural diversity as we walked from town to town. Many times I reflect on various aspects of the trek: walking into Marpha through the apple trees, the desert like scenery from Muktinath to Cagbeni, walking down the river valley into Jomsom, the beautiful walk in the mist from Tatopanni to Gorepanni and so many other wonderful times that we enjoyed during our 17 days.

Raj provided many insights to all aspects of the trek including the sightings of the Langur monkeys, sharing his vast knowledge with Arjun and I related to all aspects of the trek. We both enjoyed his company and PJ was a trooper. In these individuals, Himalayan Glacier has two excellent staff people and both Arjun and I enjoyed their company and their contribution to our wonderful holiday. I would certainly be pleased to act as a reference for any clients considering Himalayan Glacier for their trek. Our experience was professionally handled, flawlessly executed (notwithstanding the gas filter on your car) and I would be pleased to provide a recommendation to any potential clients. I can also say that the pre and post trek aspects of the were well planned by Himalayan Glacier
Thank you for your contribution to what was a wonderful holiday. Best Regards
