Our trip t Base Camp and Kala Patthar has just come to a very satisfactory end, and i can say it has been a wonderful, exhausting , and fulllfilling adventure from start to fnish. Th escenery was incredible, and i was very lucky to be able to share the trek with thrwee outstanding fellow trekkers ho were there to help during those times wihen thins gor difficult. But o must sngle out Mr Tanka Gantam,who was pur guide, and also our porters who carried our bags over the long distances . Tanka is an absolutely outstanding, and knowledgeable gentleman, who encouraged us , and helped us keep a very positvea attitude all through the journey. anybody lucky enough to have Tanka as thier guide will NOT fail. A huge thanks to everyone concerned - the trip of a lifetime. Paul Ward
