Mustang Jeep Tour with Himalayan Excursion
I could not thank enough for the professionalism and care that Mukesh from Himalayan Excursion showed during my travels to the Tiji Festival in Upper Mustang.
Any sets of questions I had, I emailed them to Mukesh and I got the next morning a full set of clear answers. In several days we clarified a lot of ground and we were able to put together a clear itin
erary. Besides all these responses, he was sending me extra emails advising me what to bring, like the sunscreen and the lip balm that for sure I would have forgotten. Mukesh guided groups and organized entire trips for numerous years and he knew in detail every place where he sent me in Upper Mustang. He assigned me a local guide, Dawa Gurung, a graduated with a bachelor degree in tourism from the Kathmandu College, who spoke Nepali, Tibetan, English, and French. Dawa is fluent in English and his knowledge of the places proved to be valuable and hailed by everybody who came in contact with him in the area. Dawa was the go-to person for the local guides to ask about various hikes.
Mukesh and Dawa were always on top of everything, getting me out of Pokhara in the time of “banda” when no vehicle moved and arranging various accommodation in Lo Manthang that was totally packed by foreigners during the festival, when hotels did not want to book a single foreigner to a room, preferring to wait for groups that were obviously more lucrative. And they took care of all my needs with a good-natured approach to things, humor and the legendary Nepali hospitality. I do thank both of them from the deep of my heart for all that they did for me in this travel. And I already planned with Mukesh to make arrangements to go to Bhutan using his agency, now FlyingMonk Films’ official agency for travel in Nepal and Bhutan.
