Im Oktober waren wir zum zweiten Mal in Nepal. Wir hatten eine Tour in das Everest Gebiet gebucht und Gelu Sherpa war unser Guide. Unser Ziel war Gokyo von dem wir schon so viel gehört hatten. Wir starteten in Phablu und die nächsten 15 Tage führte uns Gelu durch die... See more atemberaubende Landschaft seiner Heimat, dem Land der Sherpa. Gelu verfügt über 20 Jahre Trecking Erfahrung und war nicht nur ein hervorrragender Guide was Organisation und Gespür für unsere körperlichen Möglichkeiten betraf, sondern er hatte auch Antworten auf alle unserer Fragen. Er erklärt uns die Kultur der Sherpa, konnte jede Bergspitze benennen und eine Geschichte aus eigener Erfahrung mit uns teilen. Er mahnte uns langsam zu gehen uns nicht unter Druck zu setzen und strahlte dabei grosse Gelassenheit aus. Auch in schwierigen Situationen behielt er kühlen Kopf und war beeindruckend professionell in seinem Handel. Aufgrund seiner hervorragenden Deutschkenntnisse und seinem Gespür für die Sprache und Menschen hatten wir ein sehr freundschaftliches und problemloses miteinander. Wir hatten das Gefühl mit einem Fremden die Reise begonnen und mit einem Freund beendet zu haben. Vielen Dank für alles und viel Glück. See less...
