MOUNTAIN TRAVELS PAKISTAN ... (What our client say)


	We believe that “what our clients say about us” is the final word in terms of our evaluation. Some of their valued comments are therefore given below for reference: “The complete success of our expedition has to be credited to the overall quality of the preparation done by Mountain Travels Pakistan.“ Michel Troillet, Team Leader, July 1990 Swiss Expedition ............................................................................................................... “Without the kind assistance of Mountain Travels Pakistan, Mr. Hiroki Fujita (renowned Japanese photographer), could not have accomplished his work in the high-altitude mountains of Pakistan.” Katsutoshi Kanai, Director, Gyosei Corporation, Japan [3 December 1990] ............................................................................................................... “Ghulam brings energy and excitement to any outdoor adventure...his enthusiasm is infectious, keeping his fellow travellers in high spirits.“ Dan Mozena, Political Attache, American Embassy, Islamabad ............................................................................................................... “Taking a group of junior and senior high school students into the Northern Areas of Pakistan is a challenge, to say the least! With Ghulam and his friendly and efficient team at Mountain Travels Pakistan in charge though, I’m always 100% confident. We are very glad we switched to booking our semi-annual treks with them a couple of years back – they really provide the best!“ Evan Brigham, Trek Coordinator, International School of Islamabad (ISI)- September 1998 ............................................................................................................... “On my recent spring 2000 expedition to Nanga Parbat, I was happy to work with Mountain Travels Pakistan. The quality of the service and knowledge of the guides was excellent. Rozi Ali, one of the guides from Mountain Travels, is an old friend of mine – serving as cook and guide on many of my Pakistan expeditions. I wish him and Mountain Travels Pakistan all the best for the future.” Reinhold Messner, the world’s eminent mountaineer [30 October 1997] ............................................................................................................... “Ghulam and his team of highly-experienced guides and support staff stand apart from all the other operators that I’ve used on account of their unswerving drive to satisfy their customers, whilst having a lot of fun on the way...having spent 28 days on the trail with them on two separate occasions, I, without hesitation, recommend them to anyone.” Peter Laurenson, New Zealand Tourist Board, July 1998 ............................................................................................................... “(We) visited Northern Pakistan for filming an educational documentary on the natural beauty and people of Baltistan in 2000 (and)… appreciate the efforts of all the highly professional team members organized by Mountain Travels Pakistan whose confidence and dedication made it possible for us to capture some of the breathtaking and rare mountain scenery...The credit for this successful venture goes to our Liaison Officer Mr. Hamid Hussain from Mountain Travels whose knowledge about the area and perfect Japanese made our trip easier. We are personally thankful and highly recommend the services of Mountain Travels Pakistan and Hamid Hussain who always encouraged us and the spirit paved the way to accomplish our mission.” Ryo Higashino, Ide Ikutaro, NHK, Japan Corporation, Tokyo, Japan [28 September 2000] ............................................................................................................... “Mountain Travels Pakistan surprised us with a very well organized trek to Baltoro and Gondogoro La. You really have found the perfect combination between professionalism and local insight and culture. That’s the secret of your success! Friendly, compassionate!” Hester Noyon, Amsterdam, The Netherland [28 July 2004] ............................................................................................................... “I thank Hamid and his brothers for the excellent preparation and trek which they organized for me and my three teenage daughters. It was a wonderful experience which we will never forget.” Marten Van Asseldunk, Ueghel, Holland [September 2004] ............................................................................................................... “What a wonderful trek- the care and attention of Hamid and all the porters made a very tough trip extremely pleasant, safe, and not so intimidating (especially the crossing of the Gondogoro La). The whole team is exceptionally wonderful and caring of every possible detail. The music in the evenings and the great food were an added bonus… Thank you so much Mountain Travels Pakistan.” Kamila Jeevanjee, Los Angeles, CA, USA [July 2003] ............................................................................................................... “With an excellent crew, beginning with our guide Ibrahim, the cook Ali who cooked in this area like in a gourmet restaurant, and also special Mr. Mahdi, who watched over us day and night, it was an unforgettable experience. The specialty of the Karakoram Mountains, the loveliness of our porters…will stay in our minds. Thank you very much.” Georg Heel, Tyrol, Austria [August 2001] ............................................................................................................... “The trek to K2, Concordia, Gondogoro La and Fairy Meadows was really great and perfectly organized by Mountain Travels Pakistan. We were deeply impressed not only by the spectacular scenery but also by the hospitality and helpfulness of the whole staff. MTP gave us the feeling to be at home in a foreign country.” Peter Klocknu and Alte Franklurter, Hachenburg, Germany [June 2001] ............................................................................................................... “We have visited Pakistan many times and Mr. Ghulam was not only a guide but had become a real friend and we hope to come again many times with him.” Corrado Marino, Pavia, Italy [ 2004] ............................................................................................................... “Thank you very much to Ghulam Ahmed and everyone at Mountain Travels Pakistan for your excellent and professional services in arranging our trip to Concordia and the Baltoro, Biafo, and Hispar glaciers. Our guide, Mohammad Ali Raza, was fantastic and the crew he found for us was first class. I’d also like to acknowledge our tremendous appreciation of your accommodating our plans and itinerary while working on a limited budget. We will never forget this assistance and look forward to working with MTP again in the future.” Galen Murton, Maine, USA, 2004 ............................................................................................................... “Our Baltoro/ Gondogoro La trek was super-organized and in a mountainous spirit flavoured with Balti flowers and apricots.” Erih Hegrelberg, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2004 ............................................................................................................... “As a small organization Mountain Travels Pakistan understands both the mountains, the porters, the cook, etc., and the needs and wishes of us, the clients. Excellent. Hope to come and meet you again.” Rogier Noyan, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2004 ............................................................................................................... ”Our Pakistan adventure has been more exciting than we had even expected…, the glorious scenery and the positive encounters with the locals…. Your country is wonderful…. We thank you, however, for everything else, and particularly for the kindness you have shown us personally…” Abbey (US) & Edoardo (Italian) addressed to Hamid Hussain, Eldertreks’ Silk Road, June 2006 ............................................................................................................... “Words cannot express how I feel about Pakistan.
