Why use Me as your Guide in Nepal?

There are many advantages to using an experienced independent guide like myself over the services of a large trekking/guiding company.  As an independent operator I can offer a more friendly and flexible service.  I arrange all bookings directly with my clients.  This avoids the misunderstandings that offen occur when those taking bookings are different from those who guide clients. When you book with me I commit my time to be with you during your stay.  Other companies generally just 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 naturally lots of stories (many very humorous!) to share with you.  I am able to reveal the background behind our ethnic rituals and ceremonies, as well as open many "cultural doors" that many trekking guides, having limited knowledge, are unable to open.  I will alert you to local culture &s;sights, select nice lodging & dining and look after your  logistical requirements like - picking you up from the airport, paying  Conservation/National park fees, organizing your transport to the trek head,  liaising and directing the porter etc and in the unlikely event of an emergency, I can quickly arrange the necessary response. I know the best teahouse among many and where you will treated as a guest of the family. I am also able to provide my clients an opportunity to experience local life in the mountains on request.

I'm sure you will find I have very reasonable fees.  As 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 porters and other supporting staff will be paid fairly. The stiff competition between agencies often makes this difficult. I am very budget conscious. During the booking process I will establish a clear understanding of your budget and I do my best to work within that.

My supporting friends and myself are ecologically sensitive and are covered by insurance for any trekking. I always provide them enough clothing/equipment during the trekking which is a major issue in some certain areas. 

As a guide my primary goal is to provide rich cultural experience so that my guests leave with many happy memories of their visit to my country and her people.
