Hello,
We would like to give a compliment to our guide Kunckok and the driver Yishey.
We forgot the evaluation form so by this way we would like to let you know that
they did a very good job.
The driver was attent and very secure and careful, we felt very safe in the
car. Even on the though road to Mount Everest Base Camp.
The Guide was very experienced, spoke good English and was always on time. We
very appreciate the acurate help when Suzan has to go to the hospital.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Suzan van der Linde and Coen van Driel

Delek Tseten,
Great to hear from you,yes, back safely and well.
Thanks for looking after us and letting us choose our route and sites.
Gompo, Lob Song and Druja were wonderful people and guides! They were very
attentive to all our needs and interests and cared for us
beyond duty.
I have friends who would like to go next year so I will certainly send them
your way! Thank you again for dinner on the last night, that was very kind and would have
loved to chat with you more.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Penny

Dear Tseten, Namaste!
It was nice meeting you at your office
facilities in Lhasa,
and to know other Sierra Club members have ventured with you in the past as
well. Our trek/tour of Tibet
turned out to be the most exciting and rewarding experience ever—exceeding all
our expectations. Your careful planning of every detail, and the hard work and
dedication of the team members of Tibet Highland Expedition made this possible.
Hotel and lodge accomodations were well coordinated. They were clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the hot lemon tea and warm friendy greetings from all the Tibetan hosts and hostesses. We were amazed by the beautiful Tibetan architecture with their unique window designs, brightly colored interior art, and traditional designs of the hanging “thankas” with glowing red, greens, and yellows. All necessary camping gear and trekking equipment were provided. Menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were well thought out, and included plenty of fresh local vegetables for our vegetarian diet. The many historically important monasteries and temples on our itinerary were coordinated to give us the best opportunity to experience the rich religious culture of Tibet. Our trekking days were also well planned to give us relaxing time to explore and take in the beauty and solitude of the Himalaya mountains, and the warm and quiet nature of its people. We discovered the peaceful dignity, and hard work ethics of the farming community. We enjoyed the playful innocence of the children. And, loved the free time you scheduled in for us to casually explore the plazas and stores in Lhasa.
All team members were always friendly,
courteous, and professional. We can’t say enough about the multi-talented Dukar
tashi. He’s been a tour guide, trek guide, part cook, photographer, translator,
and porter during our trip. He is dedicated and hard working. The moment he
greeted us at the Tibet/China border, he was kind and thoughful—always opening
car and restaurant doors, lending assistence down steep monastery steps, and
offering to carry your gear during the Everest Base Camp trek. He was a
excellent translator on treks and at restuarants. He even helped prepare lunch and
dinner. ”Veggie burger’ was his special menu item. It tasted great—best ever!!
He kept us on schedule getting necessary Everest B.C. permits, paying monastery
entrance fees, checking flight time and e-tickets. He made sure that we were
always comfortable, and checked to see if we had enough water, or food and snacks
to eat. And, made sure we were warm—providing wood for evening camp fires. He
made sure to provide heavy blankets for the cold temperatures and windy night
at Ronbuk Monastery. We were in a internet cafe when we felt the earthquake in
Nylam. Concernerd for all of our safety, Dukar tashi immediated urged us out of
the building, and into the street where all the people gathered. One man ran
through, and shattered the glass window next door—adding to the drama. He also
introduced us to many fine places to dine in Lhasa— from the casual local Tibetan tea
house to the very exquisite Himalayan Hotel buffet dinner show. We learned a
lot about about the religious culture, and people of Tibet. His knowledge of history and
developement of Tibetan Buddism, Hinduism, and Sikhism was remarkable. We had
the best time of out lives because of his humor, laughter, and trademark smile.
He’s a friend and companion—a constant source of fun and entertainment. His
singing on long drives throughout Tibet was a joy. We will always
cherish the fond memories of Tibet.
He made this a wonderful liftime experience.
Our driver Mr. Chuchong Khab was friendly and good natured throughout our tour of Tibet. He displayed excellent driving skills through the very challenging mountain roads—never exceeding the limits of passenger comfort. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey—always on top of fuel levels and vehicle performance. He was kind and courteous, opened and closed doors with a smile. He helped load and unload baggage and camping gear. We’ll always remember his joy and song!
What could be better than having your own great cook while trekking the the great Himalaya Mountains? Mr. Sonam was not just a great cook during our trek, but a fine friend as well. His wife was expecting a child at any time. We all celebrated the birth of his ”baby girl” as the big moment came at the camp out during our Everest trek. He was the first one up every morning greeting us with a cup of lemon tea or sweet tea, and of course, with his big signature smile. He made fresh bread, eggs or omeletts every morning served with fruit cocktail and juice. For lunch it was delicious hot vegetable noodles or a Tibetan mixed vegetable dish. Hot steamed rice was on each dinner menu with a fried vegetable/fish dish, or specially prepared vegetable momos. We were spoiled, and it all tasted great!!!
Tibet Highland Expedition has truly made our trip a memorable adventure. We’ve discovered the beauty, peace, tranquility, and sacred soul of Tibet. We thank you for every fond memory we have of Tibet! We hope some day soon, we will be able to return and explore its moutain regions and culture, and meet the people once again.
Sincerely,
Steve and Chris Hamachi

We would like to say thanks to our guide Mister Druja.
Our experience with Mr. Druja, as our guide on our trip trough Tibet, was
terrific. He is excellent in guiding, trustful, knowledge of the country and
its inhabitants, excellent knowledge of Buddhism. Knowing the locations and
habits from west to east. He was always there when needed, never tired for
answering a question. Never intrusive, but always with a humble attitude. What
more can a pilgrim ask for?
Thank you Druja for all your care!
Peter and Britt from the Netherlands.
We will highly recommend the Tibet excursion / Tibet Highland expedition to
others.
