This was our second time with Langtang Ri: first time we had them as local partners for our Austrian travel agency and they performed so good that this time we booked directly with them. It is an extremely professional organized trekking agency, even by European standards! They did the very best to accomodate all our wishes - from the friendly and well equipped porters, to our ever-caring and competent guide Pasang, and last but not least Pamfa, the managing director who does all the organization in the background. We booked a completely personalised for just the two of us trip that we developed with the agency: first exploring the Nar and Phu valleys, then crossing the Kang La, trying to climb Chulu Far East and visiting Tilicho Lake in the end. The trip had to be postponed due to the Covid restrictions, but in April 2021 we werefinally able to go! Thanks to the help of Pamfa, we had all the necessary paperwork ready (some which was unclear from official side until the very last minute) and no troubles entering the country. Even if we didn't get to the top of Chulu Far East (way to much deep, soft snow, only the Yeti could've done it!), this trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience: very few other tourists, welcoming people, great landscapes and cultural impressions! Our team did more than usual to accomodate the ever changing weather and at the end of the trip also the varying Covid situation: we had to change the program several time en route, all managed perfectly; regarding Covid, we felt safe and well treated all the time - a big plus in this times. All in all, for we and my wife this is the perfect agency for the rather demanding trekking trips we love - we will definitely come back!
