My views on trekking in Sikkim - Miro Blanarik. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Well, our 3 weeks in India are over and we are now back at home at work. Hereby I wanted to give you some feedback on the 10 days we have spent in Sikkim. I would like to thank you for the very good organization of the activities and thus making it a successful trek. Please let me forward my thanks to Bikash, Dike and the rest of the group, who did an excellent job in the mountains. The food was excellent, sometimes even too much, we could hardly eat as much as was served. Bikash was an excellent guide, who mastered the altitude sickness and then split into two groups in an excellent manner, as well as being flexible to adjust the programme according to our wishes - early morning/night start to Goecha La. This gave us the opportunity to be up there while having perfectly clear sky, see the sunrise and have beautiful weather until we returned back to Lamuni Lake where the breakfast was waiting for us.

Thank you very much for the hospitality extended to us during our stay in Sikkim. The arrangment done by your company; Yak and Yeti Travels for the pickup from Darjeeling to Gangtok was very good. Tavera vehicle was very good for this travel, as we could cover such a long distance without much fatigue. North Sikkim tour was very well arranged. The food on the way was homely and fresh. We particularly enjoyed stay at Hidden Hills Lodge, Lachen, as this is managed by the local Lachenpa family and it was a great experience to stay with them, interact with them and see their life from close and we were made to stay as if we were at our home. The food served in their kitchen was very good. Very high level of hospitality. The Hotel Alpine at Lachung was good and the caretaker family there served good meals. Still we would have loved it if you had arranged our stay with the local Lachunpa's. This gives us an opportunity to interact with the locals, mix with them and that is a different experience which we miss in the hotel. We had a nice journey to Gurudongmer as well as Yumthang Vally. The Driver of the North Sikkim tour was very skilled and drove very slowly, so we never had sudden jerks and vomitting scenes through our journey. The Guide you provided was very helpful & entertained both our children throughout the journey and our whole journey was pleasurable and we enjoyed a lot with out any high altitude sickness. Thank you very much for all the planning and execution of the tour, making it a good memory for all of us.

My trekking holiday with Yak and Yeti Travels - Susan. Date of travel: Oct 2003
I returned with fewer problems than I started out with!! I was VERY pleased with the trek and would like to do the whole thing again. I just loved it! The weather got better and better (mostly) though I never minded the wet. The trek crew were super; considerate, thoughtful, hardworking and always cheerful and I thoroughly enjoyed being in their company (I felt like a mem-sahib with their attentiveness and care). Happily, no need to 'beat' Prem (joke!) for feeding me SO well. My fault that I had many 2nd helpings of food, because I have actually lost nearly 3kg caused by a 'vomit' bug - I did drink some untreated river water on day one yes, I should know better...completely my fault. However, my tummy now grumbles at the loss of those excellent 7* Prem-breakfasts . UT is a very capable, knowledgeable guide & I appreciated his bird spotting & animal tracking- I asked many questions. It was good to see that he cared enough to pick up the litter on the track & instructed some of the porters to do likewise. So nice not to see plastic bags everywhere. I had extremely good trekking in Sikkim with Yak and Yeti Travels and I will always recommend it to my friends.
