Minya Konka Tours
No one knows the Gongga Mountain area as well as Patru. Let Patru arrange guides for you through his backyard of high mountains, wildlife, and adventure. This is his first year to try starting his own trekking business. Will you be a part of helping him start up a business? There may be mistakes, as we all make mistakes first time around! He doesn’t speak the greatest English, but he has the biggest heart!
Who is Patru?
Patru grew up as a nomad in the village of Yulongxi. Herding yaks through all the valleys and passes was second nature to him before becoming a teenager. Now with his own children grown, Patru has been organizing and guiding guests on treks throughout the Gongga area over the last 10 years. Having Patru organize your once in a lifetime trek to Gongga is definitely going to make your trip more pleasant than any other method I know!
“Patru is responsible, careful, and always joyful. It is always a pleasure to have him around Zhilam Hostel. In this picture, he is helping our 9 month old daughter walk at 5,000m.” Owners, Kris and Stephanie
“Patzu has been guiding groups of our students annually since 2006. His number one priority is safety and he will ensure you are in safe hands at all times. He is extremely friendly and humble and is extremely popular with all the staff and students who meet him who immediately warm to him. He has willingly shared his love of the area and the culture with us. The most important aspect is Patzu’s reliability. He and the teams of horse men and women he arranges have never let us down and we have had many great treks in the area thanks to him. I think he will adapt his guiding dependent on the experience and needs of the clients.”
