The team were fantastic, in particular our cook who prepared varied and delicious food for us every evening, not to mention the little surprises we found in our lunch boxes, and a stream of tea and biscuits, and other little treats. While we were worried about food hygiene in other parts of India, we had absolutely no concerns on our tour (and rightly so)! This is a beautiful trek, crossing from the barren Spiti Valley into the beautiful green Parvati Valley on which we saw no-one bar a few shepherds for days on end. All the equipment was modern and good, and we were very happy with the organization of the tour”. Jochen V. and Anne E..

With no complaints, and also give me support with encouragement on passing the Parang la pass (5450m) and on the Kanamo peak and give full support on during the road blocking on the Batal – Chatru. He also shared with me of his climbing experience and others about the regional history & culture to make the trip interesting.  Ravinder served as assistant guide but also acted as cook on the trek. He has done a good job on cooking includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. I like much of his fried rice and noodles, potato chips and mixed veg. He also clean up campsite area and burnoff the garbage before leaving, in support of the eco-tourism.

They were able to assist me in providing information to questions I have and also helped me cross steep glaciers along the way. This is crucial for me, having little experience walking in ice. I also wish to compliment them on the elaborated food dished out everyday and appreciate the extra blankets when weather turns cold. I also deeply appreciate the company for helping me make pre and post trip accommodation and onward travel arrangements without being asked and providing invaluable advice. David L. – SINGAPORE – 11 June 2011   I went on the Hamta pass trek in early June.  I had not read much about the trek before I left, so I didn’t know what I had coming. I was positively surprised with the good knowledge the Guide had about the areas we were passing through.  He seems to have real passion for mountains and trekking, which was really encouraging for me. The cook did his best to provide us with the nice dishes as far as it could be done.  All the staff on the trek acted professionally in every situation, even when my trek partner was forced to make decision to return with the porters. The cook and the Guide did their best to serve me the food I needed on the last two days of the trek, although we didn’t carry any cooking equipment with us. The tent and sleeping bags we were given were also just right for the wind and weather conditions. Altogether an amazing experience I won’t forget.

It was a great experience. Team work is so important in making a trip successful. Our Guide and cook, staff and horseman all work together, each one making certain that our trek was successful. Tent went up promontly, food was delicious, horse even carried lunches some days. Our guide was very attentive to river crossings, to good monasteries and school visits and to our being happy. One staff member showed his  knowledge of Himalayan plants with us. Everyone waited for us at Shingo la that was so special".

Himalayan trekking is wonderful and I would recommend POTALA Adventurers to everyone. Nagveni Manjunath – TORONTO -- CANADIAN -- 09 July 2010 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Manali: Hamta pass trek “ Despite the unpredictable weather ( especially since it’s the monsoon period ), the company did its best to arrange a trek for us. Dealing had been most professional, during booking to the actual trek. There was also personal touch where the company staff helped to shop for trekking shoes and gloves at the market to helping to look for a medicine man to help treat strained ankle. The company went beyond whats in the itinerary and for that its much appreciated. The trek itself was a memorable experience, with “ luxury ” touch like a Persian mug and checked table cloth & of course 5-star hotel food cooked on the mountains. Thank you so much for a great trek I would recommend people ( Avid experience trekkers & beginners ) to be most of the incredible India experience in Manali. Arlina A. & friend – SINGAPORE – 10.07.2010 “ One of the best trekking experience of my life. The company was very accommodating and tried to find a suitable trek for us despite unfavorable rain. Ravi, the guide was well versed in the area and showed us beautiful landscape and scenery. Prem, the cook, was amazing! He can cook a 5-star meal out of thin air. Best food at 3500m I have ever had. All in all it is the people who matter, and with POTALA ADVENTURERS, we were taken care of the minute we got off the bus in Manali, and back.” Ahmad R. – MALAYSIA – 10.07.2010 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Darcha - Lamayuru trek -- Zanskar Traverse -- Across Zanskar Himalayas --  Trip: Darcha – Lamayuru – Leh.

Sai. 04.07.10   From left: Krishna Sai, Pranab Gohain & Gaurav Chakraborty ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kullu – Manali: Deo Tibba 6001m base camp Trek. The trek to Deo Tibba was a soul-finding experinece for me and the kids. They will surely remember it for a long time, and later on in life realize how it brought them close together. For me, it was a different experience. I learnt a lot. I learnt the meaning of quality oif service, work ethic, the elevation of guests (us) to a status far beyond what I have ever enjoyed. For that I am grateful to our guide Ravinder (also called Virender) and to our helper Anil and cook Tashi. Our horseman who took a low key place deserves great praise for just doing his (very crucial) job very quietly. As the weather tunred bad, the quality of service got better. I remember when the water flooded our tent, ravinder dug a turret around it to keep the water flowing around the tent, not into it. All this is sub-zero weather. My daughter will never forget the hot steaming soup and the four course dinners served with enthusiasm and a smile. POTALA Adventurers people take great pride and pleasure in doing their jobs well. It is a rare thing and the purity of their satisfaction at making us comfortable, come rain or shine or snow, is a humbling experience. I also think it is a dying culture, because very few people take pride in their work, above and beyond the call of duty. So I am grateful to POTALA adventurers for keeping it alive. It is so much part of what I admire of your hardy Pahadi culture. The Pahari people are honest, forthright and proud, and do not compromise the quality of service. From the first moment I felt secure about taking my three kids with me (something that my wife always worried about). I learned a lot from Ravinder about botany and the treasures of nature. He reminds me of the character in the Kurosawa movie " Dersu Uzala: The Hunter" (please tell him to watch it -- he will relate to it like no one else can). We didn’t just have a great time, we came away much richer with the experience. And yes, the splendor of the Himalayas is a breathtaking sight to behold. There is a reason the Gods live there. Kishore and family - 06 June 2010 Mr. Kishore & family ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kullu – Manali: Deo Tibba 6001m base camp. Trek. Formally having trekked to Beas Kund on 16.10.09, I have returned with more friend who were hungry for adventure. Deo Tibba trek has satisfy  us in every way. I have experienced everything I have set out for. Passing through forest, hiding in caves during hail storms and walking against snow fall. The best moment was conquering peak Raudi Khodi on 29.05.10 with my friends. Our Guide Virender ( same guide on Beas Kund ) made it as amazing as it would be. Sheru our cook was just as good a code of Bheem of Mahabharat. We have renamed Tenzin Adventure. I thank a lot for giving us everything we needed. Will keep coming back to Tenzin and Virender.

Trek. The 4 nights 5 days trek organised by Potala Adventurers was an excellent experience for us. All the arrangements were great right from pick up at the Manali station to the food on trek. The itinerary was tailored to our requirements with Tenzin being flexible to accomodate to our change in schedule. We had an excellent time thanks to our guide – Mr. Ravindra who was very patience and also was very knowledgable about the local community, flora and landscape. It was a great learning for us to go on the trek with him. Again many thanks to Tenzin and his entire team for a wonderful holiday. Highly recommended. Regards S. Ramanathan and A.

Hamta Circuit / 5 days trek " When i first arrive in Manali, I knew i wanted to experiece a trek. The only question was which company. It is so difficult to put trust into an agency and hope they will come up with the goods. Potala delievered an excellent trek, Ningbo told us not to worry about the service provided and he was right. The service was first class. Our guide, cook, porter and horseman did an excellent job at keeping us fed, happy and safe. We were given the freedom to take different paths if we wanted, which meant we felt a good sense of control over our trek. The 4 campsite were in beautiful locations and for 3 of those nights we were the only camp which made it feel authentic.  I would definately trek again with Potala because it was the first ever Himalayan experience for me and everything i could have wished for and more. Adam A. Birmingham . ENGLAND. 25th June 2009 Hamta Circuit / 5 days trek To Potala Adventurers " For the first time person like one coming to the Himalayas. With no apparent experience in high altitude trekking. My mind was little tensed, but once we arrived at Manali and met Mr. Tenzin Ningbo and he detailed us about the trip and when we met our guide our worries began to slow down. I must sincerely thank the whole crew and Potala Adventurers for organising us such a beautiful trek. The whole crew was excellent. The guide Mr. Tashi was superb. His care and his skills in the snow and mountain was a pleasure to watch. The cook Mr. Kishan was also helpful and caring, preparing delicious food and watching us in each step. The porter who gave us a good company and treated us like real guests was also enjoyable. In brief we had a beautiful experience and i have made up my mind that I will be back for more in the Himalayas next time with Potala Adventurers Krishna and friend 31-05-2009 Spiti to Ladakh trek - Changthang nomads- climb of Mentok Kangri I 6215m Dear Prem Singh and Tenzin, " We would like to express our greatest appreciation to all the efforts made by Govinda, Chin and Prem in making all aspects of our treck and climb enjoyable and memorable.

They are professional, experience, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.  Umesh has assisted me several times on the river crossings and willing to wait for me, as I am always walking slowly. With no complaints, and also give me support with encouragement on passing the Parang la pass and on the Kanamo peak and give full support on during the road blocking on the Batal – Chatru. He also shared with me of his climbing experience and others about the regional history & culture to make the trip interesting.  Ravinder served as assistant guide but also acted as cook on the trek. He has done a good job on cooking includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. I like much of his fried rice and noodles, potato chips and mixed veg. He also clean up campsite area and burnoff the garbage before leaving, in support of the eco-tourism. I also like to thank you Tenzin Ningbo to secure me the bus ticket New Del / Manali / Del and the booking on the sunshine guest house which provide me the comfortable and nice stay.

I would definitely like to recommend your name to anyone going for a trek starting from Manali and especially highlight the flexibility you offered in organising a cost effective trek for only two people, the good and hot food and courteous and helpful staff. We are currently planning another trek (after 1-2 months), may be to Hamta pass, with a group of 2-4 people. Will be in touch with you for the same. Once again thanks very much for a memorable experience. regards, Rajat and friend - 18 June - 21 June 2011   Manali: Hampta Pass Trek Potala Adventurers has gone out of the way to make my Hamta pass trek truly memorable.  The Guide and porters were true professionals. They were able to assist me in providing information to questions I have and also helped me cross steep glaciers along the way. This is crucial for me, having little experience walking in ice. I also wish to compliment them on the elaborated food dished out everyday and appreciate the extra blankets when weather turns cold. I also deeply appreciate the company for helping me make pre and post trip accommodation and onward travel arrangements without being asked and providing invaluable advice. David L. – SINGAPORE – 11 June 2011 I went on the Hamta pass trek in early June.  I had not read much about the trek before I left, so I didn’t know what I had coming. I was positively surprised with the good knowledge the Guide had about the areas we were passing through.  He seems to have real passion for mountains and trekking, which was really encouraging for me. The cook did his best to provide us with the nice dishes as far as it could be done.  All the staff on the trek acted professionally in every situation, even when my trek partner was forced to make decision to return with the porters. The cook and the Guide did their best to serve me the food I needed on the last two days of the trek, although we didn’t carry any cooking equipment with us. The tent and sleeping bags we were given were also just right for the wind and weather conditions. Altogether an amazing experience I won’t forget.
