Guess what, I really want to
go back there, it was a pure
magic. Those treks in the
mountain, and that festival,
just great...

A fabulous trip, I would say
it was the best trip I have
had and i have traveled
fairly extensively. I will
definitely tell others .....
I was very impressed with
the amount of information
we received about the areas
we traveled and the experience
we had.

I enjoyed the added company
- Gautom is great, Nawang,
Ani's, villager were very
caring accepting and genuine.
I have truly enjoyed it all! ...
Everything was more than expected,
but perhaps the highlight was the
stay in Ani Gompa and village near
Tawang, I can't imagine why I
balked at first.
