“I
would like to recommend Potala Adventurers for organising an execellent trek over Hamta Pass.
As I was on my own I was surprised to get such a good rate for my guide / cook. The scenery up to Hampta pass is spectacular
and the places we camped were picturesque. We took the five days Slowly Slowly and you could do it faster. But if you are
interested in taking in what surrounds you. And like to take your time to acclimatise then the Hampta pass trek is for you.
Thanks again for Potala Adventurers for their excellent, advice and for their organisation".
Peter Mallet, Ireland.
“Hamta
pass, Lahoul valley 5 days. Prem was the guide. A good guide who knows everything on Himalayas
and local life. Lobsang was the cooker. He is a good cooker. He can make everything with nothing. Thanks for all”.
