Ens va ser molt fàcil comunicar-nos amb en Shishir i va ser increïble a l'hora d'ajudar-nos a establir un itinerari que ens funcionés. En Ghaman (el nostre guia) i en Mohan (el portejador) van ser amables, acollidors i extremadament servicials. No vam poder fer la nostra ruta original a causa d'alguns problemes de salut no relacionats amb l'altitud i van ajustar el pla perquè poguéssim aprofitar al màxim el nostre temps. També vam emmalaltir al final de la caminada i vam haver de canviar els nostres vols de tornada a casa i en Shishir va ser molt amable i servicial mentre ho fèiem.

Tot això ho va organitzar en Shishir amb gran professionalitat: comunicar-nos amb ell abans de la sortida va ser ràpid i fàcil; no vam tenir cap problema; ens va guiar amb experiència, alegria i discreció alhora.

Soooverificat Encantador campament base australià, trekking a Dhampus i Sarangkot Recentment vaig fer una excursió de 3 dies al Nepal el desembre de 2025. Vam començar des del poble de Kande, vam caminar fins al camp base australià, després al poble de Dhampus i finalment al poble de Sarangkot, que domina la ciutat de Pokhara. El meu guia era en Shishir, que també és el propietari de l'empresa de senderisme. Tot i que la caminada va ser més curta i fàcil que altres excursions populars com les EBC i ABC, aquesta curta caminada va tenir una bona relació qualitat-preu. Al llarg de gran part del camí vam presenciar les vistes impressionants i impressionants de la imponent serralada de l'Annapurna. També vam caminar per pobles immaculats i bells i vam poder experimentar de primera mà el divers patrimoni cultural. En Shishir, tot i ser el propietari de l'empresa de senderisme, també era un guia molt experimentat. Em va portar a explorar un nou camí gairebé infreqüent de Dhampus a Sarangkot que maximitzava la vista de la serralada de l'Annapurna. Aquest era el tercer any consecutiu que contractava els serveis d'aquesta empresa. Vaig fer el trekking EBC el 2023 i el trekking ABC el 2024. En Shishir i el seu personal van proporcionar un servei excel·lent i atent, i us garantim que estareu ben atesos des del moment en què arribeu a Katmandú fins al moment en què marxeu d'aquest país màgic.Verificat per TrustindexLa insígnia verificada de Trustindex és el símbol universal de confiança.
