I will personally be your guide when you book your arrangements with me. I commit my time to be with you during your trek. Other companies will arrange a guide for you, and depending on their schedules, you may not always receive the best-qualified guide. I have many years of experience as a trekking guide and I feel that our relationship, as a guide/trekker begins with our initial contacts. The emails we exchange in preparation for your trip allows us to learn about one another prior to your arrival in Nepal. When you arrive in Nepal we will already know something about each other so that we will not begin our adventure together as complete strangers. Since we will directly interact in the planning process you will have a clear understanding about your payment. I am very much conscious of your budget. My price is very reasonable. Since I work on my own, I don¡¯t have to pay for the expenses that a trekking agency normally has, the budget for your trip can be better used for your trekking expenses and it guarantees that guide, porters and other supporting staff will be paid fairly. The stiff competition between agencies often makes this difficult. I am not a large company so the service I provide is quite friendly and private. I am more flexible; I will hike at your pace and give more personal service. Me and my supporting friends are covered by insurance for the trek and I always provide them enough clothing/equipment during the trekking which is a major issue in some certain areas. If you've been trekking you will know how hard porters have to work for their cash. Yet here are several trekking companies and lots of guides and porters are working with them by paying shocking amount of money.
