I want to sincerely thank our team leader Oleksandr Liakh for an incredible hike! From the very beginning you could feel that the route was in safe hands. I was especially impressed by his ability to act calmly and confidently in difficult situations, quickly make the right decisions and support the team. It is in such moments that true professionalism shows most.
I'd also like to mention his excellent approach to working with the group. The hike had participants with different levels of fitness, but nobody was left without attention. The wishes of both the stronger and the less experienced part of the group were taken into account. For those who had the strength and the desire, an extra ascent was organized. Thanks to this, everyone got exactly the kind of hike that matched their abilities and expectations.
Special thanks for the food! It was very pleasant that even in the mountains the meals were not just filling but really tasty. The dishes our team leader cooked were a pleasant surprise with their interesting recipes, variety and home-made taste. After a busy day they gave us strength and created a special cozy atmosphere.
This hike was special for me, because it was my first three-day hike. It gave me incredible emotions and priceless experience, and proved once again that the mountains are not only about kilometers and peaks, but also about people, the team and moments that stay in your memory for a long time.
Thank you, Oleksandr, for the great organization, support, humor and positive mood that accompanied us along the whole route. After a hike like this you are left not only with vivid memories and good new acquaintances, but also with a strong desire to head to the mountains again with the Kuluar team. See you on the trails!
