Most Inspirational Moment
Being surrounded by famous mountains, crossing the tall suspension bridges with yak trains carrying supplies up the passes, amazing!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Experienced nice guy, took good care of us, firm when he needed to be but shared our enthusiasm for the experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Yep, silk sleeping bag liner very useful, fingerless gloves for the cold evenings in the tea houses, tracksters worked great during the day and for the evenings too, merino wool thermals were absolutely brilliant, wool jumper better than synthetic fabrics for keeping smell free, cards for the evening, good (compact) camera for the scenery not my digital SLR! I used Diamox and was glad I did, no altitude sickness problems.
In November it took clothes a few days to dry so pack enough. keep your bags within the weight limits, our porters had to carry our bags so please be considerate.
Trek wasn't as physically demanding as I expected, get fit before you go and you will enjoy it more.
Suggestions
Watch out, if you go once you'll want to go back again! I was the only person on the trek for whom this was a first visit.
