点评:A group of 6 friends (2 families: middle aged parents and young adults), we had the luck of going on 2 half day treks with Charlie of Mount Abu Trekking. Charlie was extremely professional in the planning stage as well as the execution. A trained mountaineer, polyglot, familiar with the local culture, he was recommended by our hotel, Altus (also a great recommendation). He tailored the itineraries according to our requests and past experiences in Abu. He managed the permissions with the forest department when the guide we had previously booked couldn’t; on trail his estimations of time very accurate. Thanks to him we discovered 2 trails we had never tried around Guru Shekhar; grasslands dotted with granite tops, dense brush, centenary mango trees covered with golden ferns, sublime views suddenly veiled by mist, it was unforgettable. Not to mention that Charlie is very good with botany and zoology too: he introduced us some of the native species in Abu, pointed a bear in the distance and showed us scimitar babblers calling in the foliage. We we’re all under the spell and hope to go back trekking with Mount Abu Trekking.
翻译:我们一行六人(两家人:中年父母和年轻人),有幸跟随阿布山徒步旅行团的查理进行了两次半日徒步。查理在计划和执行阶段都非常专业。他是一位训练有素的登山者,通晓多种语言,熟悉当地文化,是我们酒店阿尔特斯推荐的(这也是一个很棒的推荐)。他根据我们的要求和过去在阿布的经验量身定制了行程。他成功获得了林业部门的许可,而我们之前预订的导游却无法做到;在徒步过程中,他对时间的估计非常准确。多亏了他,我们在古鲁谢卡尔附近发现了两条从未尝试过的路线:点缀着花岗岩顶部的草原、茂密的灌木丛、覆盖着金色蕨类植物的百年芒果树,以及突然被薄雾笼罩的壮丽景色,这些都令人难忘。更何况查理的植物学和动物学也非常出色:他给我们介绍了一些阿布的本土物种,指着远处的一只熊,还带我们看了弯嘴鹛在树叶间鸣叫。我们都被迷住了,希望能再次和阿布山徒步旅行团一起去那里徒步旅行。
