Just
want to say a million thanks for the splendid
arrangement! Our heartfelt thanks to our guide Pak Etra
and porter Pak Wahid, without them - the climb to the
summit was quite impossible. Also to those humble
porters, Kurniawan being one of them and the rest of the
gangs. Not forgetting the jovial Pak Saiful and Pak
Gatot the driver for being so accommodative and
informative. They showed their professionalism and their
concern when we needed one. Please convey our deepest
gratitude. It was a priceless experience and we will
never forget them. Look forward to doing more climbing
with Lombok Network!
Keep
up the good work! Warmest regards, mila safuan and gang
