    Rebecca Gordon, Australia - April 18, 2023

    I just completed the 8 day Goeche La trek in Sikkim with my partner Ian. Sangay was our amazing and experienced guide. The trek was very challenging due to heavy snowfall. Sangay was amazing in his decision making, planning and belief for us to complete the trek. We had amazing clear views at Goeche La after two days of cloud and snow at Dzongri pass. Sangay and his amazing team ensured that we were always warm, comfortable and well fed. The food was especially good - The cook produced three course meals - delicious We even had a cake on our last day.. I am so appreciative to Sangay and his team for giving me the opportunity to complete this snowy challenge in the beautiful Himalaya.

    Fantastic trek with a great company that took us to mighty snow capped mountains with breath-taking views of Mt. Kanchenjunga.
    Subash and the team at Ashmita deserve the 5 star rating. We have trekked in Nepal, Kashmir and Ladakh over the years and this was the most professional and best organised trek we have done.Sunjay our guide was very skilled, knowledgeable, helpful and flexible which was really needed as our trip plans had to change several times due to bad weather. Nothing seemed a problem for him. If we were going back we would him again.Tenzing the cook was not only the master of preparing great food but such variety that we never ate the same meal twice in 12 days. Plus he added an extra laugh to the trek. In fact the whole team was top class.Not enough room here to describe the rich variety of scenery and the beauty of these mountains but we will remember this trip for a long time. Thank-you Asmita Treks.
