KER AND DOWNEY NEPAL
It's time to pay our respect to the guides and Porters who made our trek in Nepal such a success. NO WAY we could have lugged all of our stuff up those hills. Thanks so much to our porters. And thanks so much to our group leader Raju Kunwar and Assistant group leader Shyam Gunung. I spent quite a bit of time at the end of our group so had some time to get acquainted with Shyam more than the others. His main duty was to stay at the back and make sure that none of his "sheep" were lost. Shyam's English language skills were first rate and he is really adept with computers. I have friended him on Facebook and have already had several communications via the internet. I think the Ker and Downey folks were genuinely interested in our well-being (obviously) but the were SO KIND and so patient with our incredibly slow pace. They told us that they are able to do the daily hikes (with the packs) WAY faster than we did. I am so proud of our group - that we were able to complete these (to us) strenuous days in Nepal is pretty cool! I will never forget the trek or our new friend from Ker and Downey Nepal.
Porters were: Bharat (our porter), Hari, Mangal, Sunil, Nuri, Jet and Rame.
DHANYABAD!
