点评:It's been almost a month, but the trip to Mardi Himal BC winter trek still lingers. We were a group of 5, balanced between experienced and first time trekkers. But none of that mattered because right from the very first Whatsapp message to Sauraj, inquiring about the trip, till the last day, Adventure Pulse team was simply outstanding. Sauraj was extremely patient and thorough in helping us plan for the trip. And once we landed in Kathmandu, we had to worry about NOTHING. The team took care of all the planning, itinerary, gear supplies, transport, hotel booking, the works... Laveena, Shraddha and Ghanshyam ensured we were briefed, to the last detail, about our week-long trek ahead. We were a curious bunch, but it felt like the Adventure Pulse team had thought about every possible detail and were ready with solutions. Laveena and Shraddha accompanied us on the trek, which turned out to be an amazing experience. I felt like Laveena has a deep sense of both the trek, and the trekker. And that shows in how she helped us navigate through out. We talked about everything and anything under the sun during those long walks on Nepali flatlands. Shraddha, a local, has consummate knowledge of the terrain and the local culture, flora and fauna. She's like a walking encyclopedia of the Nepali Himalayan range. Ghanshyam aced our entire trip planning, and is fun to talk to, especially over a beer or two. He also has some great references for local grub in Pokhara and Kathmandu. There were many instances where we had to make last min changes to the plan, and the team showed remarkable agility and ease in managing these - that's the sigh of how professionally Sauraj and team are running the place.
All in all, we had an amazing experience with the team. I am hoping this is the start of many more to come in future.

总而言之,我们和这个团队的合作非常愉快。我希望这只是未来更多合作的开始。
