TESTIMONIALS |
Just a quick note to say many thanks to Gyalpo and everyone connected
to our trek we did a couple of weeks ago. He was a superb guide and
made sure we were all superbly looked after and exceeded everyone's
expectations in terms of service and care. The food we had (even at
4000m!) was excellent and better than any restaurant we ate at!
It was interesting to see other groups on the same trail as us who
didn't receive the same from their organisers and therefore possibly
didn't enjoy their trek as much.
Please ensure that you pass on our best wishes to Gyalpo and thank him.
I would have no hesitation recommending your company to anybody who
may be interested in trekking in Sikkim.

| "If you are going to trek with a company, trekking with Khangri Tours is highly recommended (www.khangri.com). T. Dorjee (owner) is simply fantastic and our main guide (Chumba) was a true friend while we were there. Great food, personalized itinerary, and good recommendations for other services all came out top notch (tranportation, hotels, etc.)." |

| "Goechela trek is great (we took our time: 9 days). Eventhough we had lots of rain (usually every night), it was a fantastic trek. Our food and accomodations were definately better than most with the help of the Khangri tour guides. Also, having guides that are flexible is important as we definately took our time about getting to camp every day. I found that hiking slowly worked very well. It took much longer than "normal" to get into camp every day, but usually the trail was much nicer than the camps, and we had the tour guides to go fast and stake our camp spots, so there was really no reason to go faster (unless the weather was poor). Sitting around camp was kinda boring, especially because the clouds rolled in by 3-4pm every day, so there wasn't a view from camp until morning anyway." |

| "Be prepared for long and some what exhausting travel times between destinations. We went as high luxury as you can (all private jeeps at about $10 US per head for a 5 to 7 hour drive) and for me it was worth it. I would estimate our average travel speed to be 15 to 20 kph (maybe 10 mph). Roads are windy, steep, pitted, in constant repair, and crowded. If you have trouble with motion sickness, be prepared to fight for that front seat!" |
