In the Shadow of Nanda Devi
By: Bill Holmes, Auckland, New Zealand
I enjoyed most the actual trekking and particularly the fact that for 9 days we met absolutely no other tourists. Also the great welcome that we received from the locals in the villages that we passed through - we assumed that we were particularly welcomed because they did not have many parties trekking through their villages so that we were still something of a novelty! And also the grandeur and scale of the terrain we were trekking through.All in all a Great Adventure Holiday. The wide open spaces, the remoteness of it all and the uplifting experience of being in this remote area and at the limits of our physical abilities were all part of the holiday.Lindsay (and I agree with her) classified the holiday as "one of our best holidays ever", and I din't think that I have ever said that before on a feedback form.
