Joaquin and Montse in Solukhumbu. Island and Mera Peak thought Amphu Lhasa Pass. September-October 2008
December 11, 2008

Last September we arrived to Nepal for a trek to Island and Mera Peak. This was the second time we were flying from Kathmandu to Lukla with Himalayan Glacier trekking. In September 2007, we were caught in Khare by a strong snowfall that kept us inside the tent for a week. We did not climb the mountain but this turned out not to worry us in any extent: we felt great of simply being there and when heading for Lukla again we already knew we would come back very soon.

Back to Australia after Island Peak climbing
November 28, 2008
Well I arrived back in Australia a few days ago, and I must say that the warm weather is nice! I just felt the need to write to you and tell you how much I enjoyed my trek to Everest base camp and the Island Peak climb and how impressed I was with the Himalayan Glacier Trekking. I was very surprised when you still chose to continue with my trip when all of the other participants had to cancel out. Obviously, running the trip for one person was not highly profitable for you but you still provided every service that you originally advertised.

You will have a great hike with himalayan Glacier
September 12, 2008
Namaste !!!
You will have a great hike with himalayan Glacier. Our guide was named Dindi Sherpa and was very attenitive and alway’s put safety first. He also got the most effort out of us and helped in our success… He was a mountaineering guide so I think you would have to add one of the hiking peakes to your list (Island Peak) most likely for his services. We had a guide(Dindi) that spoke great english and two porters for the 3 of us hiking. The program basically was every morning we gave the porters our belongings to carry and we each carried a day pack that was probobly around 5-8 pounds for day use. You would carry water,toilet paper, maybe some candy bars and some lighter or heavier clothing rain gear depending…
Island peak climbing was great
August 25, 2008
Namaste to all of you in Nepal. I wish to thank you for the wonderful services provided to me during my stay in Nepal and Island Peak climbing. I am finally home again in the United States and getting back to my normal life. I’m sorry it’s been some time since I’ve gotten a chance to email, but it’s been very busy here.
I hope all went well with your elections and everybody is happy. I see that Nepal is now a republic. I am writing this email to thank you and review the Island Peak expedition. I must say I was nothing more than pleased with the guide services provided to me by Himalayan Glacier , my trekking leader Bimal Thapa and climbing leader Man Bahadur. Bimal was always considered my needs and was in great shape as well.
He was very flexible in scheduling our days, because some days we were a very fast team, and were easily able to travel further than the suggested ittinerary. He was also very resourcefull when it came to knowing the names of the mountains in the area and other advice I needed. I feel that he did a great job selecting lodges along the trek that were comfortable and hospitable.
I felt that Bimal was more of a friend to me than a guide which made traveling alone very nice. All the logistics of the trip went well as far as food, lodging, dates, and other arrangements went. I am pleased with the fact that you were able to make such a custom itinerary such as the sightseeing tour I got to go on in Kathmandu instead of two days of rock climbing. The porter that was arranged did a fine job as well.
Man was very a very safe and patient climbing guide. He was good at setting a pace that the entire group was comfortable with. There were no technical difficulties on our climb, however he did a great job assisting some of the lesser experienced climbers achieve the summit. The food at base camp was my favorite part of the whole trip. The staff that put together our meals there did a fantastic job and I’d really like to thank them for their services! I really have no complaints worth writing that happened during my Island PEAK Climbing with Himalaya Glacier Trekking.
In short I can say you really took care of me. Look forward to meeting you guys again soon. Hope all is well and take care.
