Bird Watching Trip

Our third trek with unique path and this time off to the Everest region 2013-4. Trek 1 – the Annapurna circuit 2008. Trek 2 – Langtang Valley and Gosainkund Pass 2011. We arrived into Kathmandu 23 December as arranged excited about flying over to Lukla and hiking in the Everest region. We spent 24 December waiting for our flight to Lukla – delayed then cancelled. They rebooked us into the same lovely hotel for a second night. 25 December we tried again to fly to lukla. Unfortunately again delayed due to high wind, then finally cancelled. Do we try again tomorrow 26 dec?? Some Trekkers had been waiting for five days, do we?? Our guide Raj suggested it would be wise to do an alternative trek. So it was decided to do Poon Hill and ABC (Annapurna base camp). Flights to pokhara were also cancelled due to fog there. So, 6 hours later still Christmas Day we arrived by private car to Pokhara and spent the night in a hotel near the lake. On 26 December we set off for the 10 day circuit. Absolutely amazing and beautiful!!. Back to Pokhara and to the same charming garden hotel. The next day we flew back to Kathmandu, and back to our hotel where we spent the first two nights. Unique path re organized everything!! There was absolutely no stress or worries. Our set itinerary included only two nights hotel accommodation and return flights to Lukla, plus all the guest houses, guide, porter etc. We spent an extra three nights in hotels, had a private car, and managed to get one flight. Would you believe on our departure to Australia we were given a refund for the airfare that was cancelled. We did not expect this, as we received all the other extras. This shows that this company can be trusted. They are flexible, and they know how to treat their customers. This is a company that I can certainly recommend. We will be coming back for our fourth trip, because we still have the Everest region to explore!!

Many thanks to uniquepath and the supporting team at Uniquepath trekking. From those who “summitted” Everest Base Camp, trekked the Ghorepani/Ghandruk rhododendrum forests, explored Kathmandu & Pokhara and played with the elephants at Chitwan, we all say dhanyabad !! The mountains were shy and stayed hidden in the mist but the spring flowers bloomed in the hills. Best wishes to you all and to the people of Nepal – “May all the hopes and dreams you have for the future of your country, come true and blossom like the mountain flowers.” We will return.

Even if over 60 our trekking experience was fantastic: nature, culture, different ways life, a professional guide ( Mr. Dambar ) , Rajh and three very good and kind porters ( Arjun, Resham, Som ). Thank you very much for the great trip!! Regards

We would like to Thank you Babu and the boys, for a most wonderful and exciting trek. We did the Annapurna circuit, which was a lot more difficult then we expected, but through them, we had a most enjoyable time. Babu, not only being very professional and informative, was very helpful, charming and witty. (We always groaned when he said that the next day we were going to experience a lot of Nepali flats, because we knew we were going to suffer). Not only was he a guide, but our friend, you could trust, and share a joke with. We were very impressed, when a few in our group could not go on and had to go back down, within a few minutes he had an alternative trek mapped out for them, by going back down and going back up on the other side, where we could meet them. So they could still enjoy their trek. And the boys, our porters, were absolutely wonderful. They smiled, shared jokes with us and were ever so helpful. (even wanted to help carry our day packs when we were suffering and they already had 30 kilos on their backs!). We will definitely do another trek with Unique Path Trekking. And we really cannot thank you enough Babu, for your help, and making our trek so memorable. We are planning to do the Annapurna Sanctuary, September next year maybe. Namaste and take care Kind Regards
