Wanda, thanks again for the most wonderful experience I have ever had. I've had many great trips to other places, but this tops them all.

Barb Gauf (Taste of Nepal October 2006)

So many favorites--- Balthali, Bhatapur, Begnas, Garden of Dreams,
Dwarikas. The trip surpassed my expectations--- and a lot of that has to do with the wonderful itinerary that you put together and your choice of places to see and to stay. I feel extremely grateful that I was able to experience Nepal with you and our group.

Day Five: Wanda quietly adapts our program on realizing that most of us just may have overestimated our physical fitness. We are all good on the flat but this is a country of ups and downs It's the "ups" that take their toll.

Lea Cook (Taste of Nepal October 2006)

Watching the sun come up over the mountains was the first time in a long time that I felt absolute peace, and all I have to do is think of that morning and it comes back to me. That and yoga breathing techniques with Raju are the best souvenirs I brought home.

Heather Davison (Nar Phu April 2006)

Thank-you for making my time here in Nepal such an enjoyable and memorable one. It was a pleasure to have meet you, and trekked in your company. Your vibrant personality made for many laughs and fun times, your organization was a credit to you. I have had a great time, and hope to return here in 2008 en-route to Tibet.

Craig Knox (Nar Phu April 2006)

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you again for all of your effort, patience, and time that you put into these trips. I had an absolutely amazing time and I am already starting to think of where I will go when I return. I think that everyone else in the group would agree that your intense enthusiasm for Nepal and its people is truly a gift that is rare
and admirable.

I am a relatively new addict to trekking and yes visiting Nepal is addictive even at 60+ yrs! I have wanted to travel to the Himalaya for many years now and it was finally with much fear and trepidation I went with Wanda in Oct 2003. I can only compliment Wanda's expertise in personally organising the trek details, keeping the motivation going from booking right up to departure even to 1:1 via email, dealing with all the "what happens if...." that a keen but novice trekker kept coming up with!

Since then I went back in '04 and now in October '05 attempting to get to Base Camp, mainly with Wanda's knowledge, encouragementand prompting.

Trekking in Nepal be it a Cultural Trek/Tour with minimal walking, to a Camping type trek and even a higher altitude trek requires expert first hand knowledge of the area, the local people, their customs and safety for the traveller as far as food, drink and accommodation is concerned.In addition the Leader has to have above average group handling capabilities as well keeping the porters and guides she uses happy. In all these facets of travelling in the most dramatic scenery and amongst an incredible people, Wanda has my total support and recommendation." Michael Scutt

Wanda, Thank you so much for acting as our guide through the physical and emotional journey that we all took together through this spiritually rich country of Nepal.

Joan McLaughlan Blenheim (Annapurna Circuit Trek October 2004)

Thank you so much for everything especially for believing in me.

Wendy Bown, Ari Stevens Blenheim (Annapurna Circuit Trek October 2004)

Thank you Wanda. You have been incredibly accommodating to our bolshy little budget bunch. We have all really enjoyed getting to know our special leader, team mate and friend. You have endured all our headaches for us and made everything so easy. All we had to do was walk and enjoy the places beyond our imaginations and expectation.

Alan Panckhurst Kerikeri (Jomsom Trek October 2002)

"Thought I'd write you a quick note to keep in touch. I have been copying out some of the rough notes from our trip into my diary and still thinking how lucky were to do such a fantastic trip. Thanks soooo much for making it possible!!!. We had a really good time and (as Kathryn has probably said) would love to go back again some day (a bit of saving needed first unfortunately). It makes good grist for day dreams during work at least.
