点评:I contacted Red Chili seeking some serious adventure over two days in the Himalayas and on the Ganga River. I received immediate responses on WhatsApp and Ganesh and Vipin hooked me up with 5-Star guide Dave for fully customized 2 day adventure. Day 1 was 5,000 foot climb to Kunjapuni Temple (with stunning views of Ganga and Himalayas). Day 2 was private whitewater kayak where Dave supervised me down my first rapid on Mamma Ganga. Payment was easy by credit card through an online platform, drivers were great, and everything was coordinated efficiently and on time.
Dave has an authentic knowledge, passion, and respect unmatched from other outdoor guides. Born and raised in a local village, he introduced me to his native land, people, and customs. My experience was truly unique because Dave and I spent about 5 hours each day, one on one, and developed a mutual respect and friendship.
Dave went above and beyond in so many ways. He developed a trust in me and modified his approach so we could accomplish more in less time. He “loaned” me his personal river shoes for my kayak adventure. He introduced me to his friends who also spent a couple of days with me introducing me to Rishikesh merchants, local food, and aarti.
This was a once in a lifetime experience, but I hope it is the start to many more connections and experiences. My time in Rishikesh would not have been the same without Red Chili and Dave. 🙏💛🙏
翻译:我联系了Red Chili,想体验为期两天的喜马拉雅山脉和恒河探险之旅。我很快就在WhatsApp上收到了回复,Ganesh和Vipin帮我联系到了五星级向导Dave,为我量身定制了两天的探险行程。第一天是攀登5000英尺到达昆贾普尼神庙(沿途可以欣赏到恒河和喜马拉雅山脉的壮丽景色)。第二天是私人激流皮划艇之旅,Dave指导我完成了在恒河上的第一个激流。付款方式很便捷,可以通过在线平台使用信用卡支付,司机也很棒,所有行程安排得井井有条,准时无误。
Dave拥有其他户外向导无法比拟的专业知识、热情和尊重。他出生并成长于当地的一个村庄,带我领略了他的故乡、人民和风俗。我的体验非常独特,因为我和Dave每天都有大约5个小时的单独相处时间,我们之间建立了相互尊重和友谊。
Dave在很多方面都做得非常出色,远远超出了我的预期。他逐渐信任我,并调整了方法,让我们能在更短的时间内完成更多的事情。他甚至“借”给我他自己的溯溪鞋,让我可以去划皮划艇。他还把我介绍给了他的朋友们,他们也陪了我几天,带我认识了瑞诗凯诗的商贩,品尝了当地美食,还让我体验了祭祀仪式。
这是一次千载难逢的经历,我希望这只是一个开始,开启更多人脉和精彩体验。如果没有Red Chili和Dave,我的瑞诗凯诗之旅将会截然不同。🙏💛🙏
