As the highest Shiva temple in the world, Tungnath is an incredible place to visit, and my recent trip there was made all the more memorable thanks to our amazing tour captain, Zishan.
From the moment we started our trek, Zishan's passion and knowledge were evident. He wasn't just a guide; he was a leader who ensured everyone in our group felt safe, supported, and included. He had an infectious enthusiasm that made even the most challenging parts of the trek feel manageable and fun. He shared fascinating stories about the local culture and the history of the temple, which truly enriched our experience.
What impressed me most about Zishan was his professionalism and care. He was always checking in on everyone, making sure we were hydrated and comfortable, and he was quick to offer a helping hand whenever needed. He was incredibly organised, handling all the logistics seamlessly, and his calm demeanour was reassuring, especially during unexpected changes in the weather.
The beauty of Tungnath is breathtaking, but Zishan's expert guidance is what transformed it into a truly unforgettable journey. If you're planning a trip to Tungnath, I highly recommend finding a way to join a group led by him. He’s an exceptional tour captain, and I can't speak highly enough of his work.
