Dear Som, This is to thank you for your perfect guidance during our trekking in Langtang Valley in March 2011. All was well organised.


You and your team (Gokyo Treks) have the right idea what the word "service" means. Although we are not youngest ones being enthousiastic for trekking (58 and 59 years old) you have showed a good feeling and much patience for trekkers of our age.
What we have appreciated also is your insight info in the complex world of Budhisme. This has given our trip an extra dimension. For a next trekking we will contact you for surely.
Your expertise has been of great help for us in designing a trekking suitable for the "not so young trekking freinds"

For ever friends
Gian Mario and Paola, Italy
