Dear Prem, Thank you so much for organizing such fantastic trek on Beas Kund. We had an amazing time. The views are certainly stunning + although the trek was slightly tough in places, the scenery around made up for it. Our main guide Dharam was superb. He is very knowledgeable + very patient. We felt completely safe with him. He guided Lynne overall difficult stretches and never hurried us. He is a good man. Our second guide Rajesh was also very patient + very attentive – again we felt very safe with him + it was good to have 2 guides. Our main cook Mani produced the most amazing meal + packed lunch. He was always smiling + delicious food was great to welcome when we go back from the trek. All the porters were friendly helpful too. Many thanks for the superb experience.
