Jon from Camborn UK recomends the guide kamal Rimal
I returned from a trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal last October (2007). The scenery was fantastic. The people we met were friendly, welcoming and helpful. But, I have no doubt in my mind that the best part of our holiday was our choice of guide. He went by the name of "kamal".
I managed to contact kamal by e-mail before leaving England. Everything was arranged in a week. On arrival in kathmandu, there he was, all as planned! After arranging the trekking permits for the four of us, the trek to Annapurna Base Camp - and back - began.
I grew to know kamal very well & can honestly say that I have seldom met anyone I have as much respect for as a person. Totally honest, humble yet decisive, conscientious at all times, and full of local knowledge & stories. In the evenings, his laughter was infectious. He knew how to keep us safe, minimise what we spent, entertain us and educate us.
kamal lives in kathmandu. His e-mail address
