Zuerst muss ich sagen die 3 Sterne gibt es nur wegen den Guides und der tollen Region. Die Organisation war sehr mühsam. Wir kamen mit dem Nachtzug an und hatten kaum Informationen zum Hotel und allem drum und dran. Die Wanderungen waren wirklich super und die Damen die mit einem durch die Reisfelder wandern waren echt toll. Super informativ und konnten gut Englisch. Der Rest war sehr nervenaufreibend und mühsam.

Nos vinieron a buscar al hotel y nos llevaron a la estación de tren. De ahí vino otra persona con los tickets para que ingrésenla al tren. La experiencia de dormir en el tren es hermosa. Al llegar una camioneta nos estaba esperando para llevarnos al Hotel. En el Hotel una chica local nos llevo a Cat Cat, un pueblito cercano y turístico muy bonito. Pero no nos explicó nada. Era lo mismo ir solos o no. Luego de eso nos dejaron en el hotel, tarde libre. El hotel the view, muy bonito. Al día siguiente nos vino a buscar otra chica local muy buena quien sí nos explicó sobre el recorrido, las costumbres y la cultura del lugar. Muy linda excursión! La vuelta en micro también estuvo bien. Quizá sería bueno que también sea en tren nocturno para aprovecha los dls días completos en Sapa.
