Despite arriving late in the day Dagi was there to meet and greet me at the airport. The trek is very fascinating with different scenery and friendly locals to say hello to along the way. Not as skilled as Dagi and concentrating more on the climbing it was a blessing in disguise as Dagi was able to give me an incredible amount of information along the way on not just the monestry but lailabella as well. He is very proud to live here and I see why . Once at the top the priest was there to greet me and dressed up in his traditional outfit which was magnificent to see. I would highly recommend Dagi to anyone thinking of doing this tour
