点评:We completed the Kuari Pass Trek (25th Feb) with Himalaya Shelter and had the best time! Due to unforeseen weather conditions our hike finished a day short, and we were unable to complete the second half of the trek over to Taali, however due to expert guidance we were still able to summit Kuari Pass, and were the only group (so far at least) that succeeded to do this on this specific day. Despite having to descend the mountain early, and come back to the start point, we felt that this was certainly the safest option and that the team put our wellbeing at the forefront, making us feel at ease despite the intense snowfall.
Our driver Sanju was great and made the long bus journey from Dehradun really enjoyable, and even during poor conditions (heavy snowfall and landslides) made us feel safe. Our trek leader Mega was incredible - so friendly and supportive and had so much knowledge about the mountains & trekking in general. He was on hand for anything and everything we needed and nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore, our support guide Tirupan Rana was equally encouraging and we felt like we were in good hands from start to finish - again despite poor conditions! Our chef Chandrab-Mohan was so talented, the food provided for us was not only high quality - super nutritious and delicious, but also great in quantity - we had so much food (and we’re people with huge appetites that frequently feel hungry!!), we couldn’t even completely finish some of our meals!
Furthermore, our local guide from the village was incredible, so much fun and so knowledgeable about the particular route, mountain range and area. In our opinion this is a really great aspect of Himalaya Shelter, that sets it aside from other companies.
The only recommendation we would have is to double check with management when booking regarding the ‘Medical Fitness’ letter of approval because we were told we needed this done before we came, and we had to pay quite a lot of money and take time off work back at home to have this done privately, however when we arrived it transpired that the medical fitness note had to be done by a local doctor within the Joshimath region so we felt we wasted some time & money - our team were amazingly helpful and understanding of this, we just would recommend clarifying with management to avoid this situation.
Not only would we recommend Himalaya Shelter to anyone looking for a trekking adventure, but we will certainly use them again when we return to the Himalayas, we couldn’t thank our team enough for the best experience!
翻译:我们在喜马拉雅庇护所完成了库阿里山口徒步旅行(2 月 25 日),度过了最美好的时光!由于不可预见的天气条件,我们的徒步旅行提前一天结束,我们无法完成前往塔阿里的后半段徒步旅行,但由于专家的指导,我们仍然能够登上库阿里山口,并且是(至少到目前为止)唯一一个在这一天成功做到这一点的团队。尽管不得不早早下山,回到起点,但我们觉得这无疑是最安全的选择,团队把我们的健康放在首位,让我们在大雪纷飞的情况下感到安心。
我们的司机 Sanju 很棒,让我们从德拉敦出发的长途巴士旅程非常愉快,即使在恶劣的条件下(大雪和山体滑坡)也让我们感到安全。我们的徒步旅行领队 Mega 非常棒——非常友好和支持,对山脉和徒步旅行非常了解。他随时准备满足我们的任何需求,没有遇到什么麻烦。此外,我们的支持导游 Tirupan Rana 同样令人鼓舞,我们感觉从头到尾都得到了很好的照顾——尽管条件很差!我们的厨师 Chandrab-Mohan 非常有才华,为我们提供的食物不仅质量高——营养丰富、美味可口,而且数量也很多——我们吃了很多食物(我们是胃口很大的人,经常感到饥饿!!),我们甚至无法完全吃完一些饭菜!
此外,我们村里的当地导游非常棒,非常有趣,对特定的路线、山脉和地区非常了解。在我们看来,这是喜马拉雅庇护所的一个非常好的方面,使它有别于其他公司。
我们唯一的建议是在预订时与管理层仔细核对“健康证明”批准书,因为我们被告知我们需要在来之前完成这项工作,而且我们不得不支付相当多的钱,并请假回家私下完成这项工作,然而,当我们到达时,我们发现健康证明必须由乔希马特地区的当地医生完成,所以我们觉得我们浪费了一些时间和金钱——我们的团队非常乐于助人,也理解这一点,我们只是建议与管理层澄清,以避免这种情况。
我们不仅会向任何寻求徒步旅行的人推荐喜马拉雅庇护所,而且当我们回到喜马拉雅山时,我们一定会再次使用它们,我们非常感谢我们的团队为我们带来最好的体验!
