Trip Reviews
2016 October
Torsten WalterGermany
Great Expedition of Island Peak and Ama Dablam
We booked our climbing of Island Peak and Ama Dablam with Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions. Everything was arranged properly and we had a team of very hardworking, cooperative and loyal Sherpa crew, who fed us with hygienic and healthy food and did all the hard work of carrying and fixing tents especially at higher camps.
Our climbing guide was Ang-Dawa Sherpa. Very wise and experienced climbers who knew the route very well and had a high level of technical climbing knowledge. Island Peak climbing was a good start for the more technically demanding Mount Ama Dablam.
We did a successful summit climb of both Island Peak and the majestic Amadablam !!! However, we recommend climbers to be extra careful when attempting Ama Dablam. It took a lot of effort for us to finally stand at the summit of Ama Dablam !!
We were extremely happy with the guidance of our leader Ang-Dawa, we would surely like to do more expedition trips with him and Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition in the near future. We enjoyed every moment of our expedition with NGT and its team.
Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition !! Strongly Recommended for an adventurous trip to Nepal !!
Wishing You Luck in Future !!!
