Dear Pradeep and Raj,
We successfully finished our trek, thank you very much for your kind help with documents.
Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with services of our guide and porter, they behaved not professionally.
1) Starting from second half of a trek they all the time tell us, that Larke la pass is not possible because of heavy snowfall, level of snow in Samdo is more than 2 feet, or even higher, than a houses and we should go back to Arughat. We decided to go ahead and see ourselves the level of snow in Samdo. And it was not true, in Samdo was only 1 sm of snow.
2) Guide do not have correct information about the trail, he said that it is not possible to find a place to sleep in Dharmsala, but it was few rooms opened, and house for porters even have no door and we quite comfortably slept there.
3) On the way to pass guide do not go with us, he go ahead and left us behind, we missed a trail and should find it ourselves.
4) When it was necessary to make trail in a snow (from 20-40 sm depth), he goes behind and let us make trail ourselves.
5) When we reached the Larke La top, guide and porter said that feels not good and need to go down quickly and even did not wait for us and did not make sure we go down from the pass safely.
6) All the trek they complain that carry too much luggage, and it was not true, we know exactly weight of all our luggage and it was even less, then we agreed. (10-12 kg for guide-porter and 20 kg for porter).
In our case unprofessional behavior of our guide and porter was not a problem because we have good trekking experience and able to do this trek ourselves. But if on our place will be not experienced trekers, this could be dangerous for their life’s.
I am really sorry that I need to write about it, but I think, you need to know this information, to prevent such unprofessionalism in future.
Best regards,
Anna.

Dear Raj,
Please do not suspend them from a job, they are good guys. Just explain them main safety rules and that it is not good to lie customers about the weather if they do not want to go to the pass.
Best regards,
Anna
