Thank you so much, Kuluar, for an incredible experience. A special thank you to Oleksandr Lyakh for his care and for making me fall in love with the mountains. This was my first hiking trip, and I got more out of it than I ever expected. Now I’m stocking up on all the gear I need to make this a part of my life. I was also pleasantly surprised by the food; Oleksandr cooked delicious meals and constantly made sure we were well-fed. I highly recommend Oleksandr for his warmth, care, and support. When I was scared to descend and didn’t believe I could do it, he found the perfect words of encouragement about believing in myself—words I’ll never forget. This didn’t just help me with that descent; it’s a feeling I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
