Testimonial
Dear Ashta and Stephan
Currently waiting at Kathmandu airport for my delayed flight to Dhaka so thought I would use the time and free wi-fi to send my feedback on the trip. Basically, really excellent, Ashta was a great guide especially in helping me to get my Bangladesh visa and flight sorted out last week — many thanks. The treks were beautiful, and also an easy introduction to trekking for those without much experience or any wish to overdo it. It was also great to intersperse the walking with some interesting sights enroute — obviously it was a real bonus that the Yartang festival was on. The region was definitely a great choice for the rainy season so I would highly recommend your company for putting together the itinerary as well as the guiding and organisation. Ashta asked that I send some photos. I am sure you have plenty of the amazing scenery so have sent some of the Yartang festival and a nice one of my view at breakfast in Pokhara— feel free to use them if you wish.
Again, many thanks and best wishes
Louise
