Wonderful Trip To The Langtang Area

Dear Nava & Shiva, Thank you very much for the wonderful trip to the Langtang area. We had a great time and saw many beautiful things. We really liked to see the Yaks & Naks for the first time in our life! Also playing card games, especially “CANASTA”, with our guide. Shiva was very nice. We had a very special new years eve in Kyangjin Gumpa. Sometimes climbing was very tough (especially for Lisa), but at the end it was all worth it! Again thanks a lot for everything!
