Amazing days with Hem

Reviewed May 16, 2022

Our wish was to enjoy a trekking on alternative routes in the Annapurna region.  Hem customized a perfect route to our needs, fitness and wishes. During our trekking days he offered us a taste of everything the region has to offer. No matter what questions we had, Hem could always give us an answer. Very quickly we had found our daily rhythm with walking, talking, joking and eating. Especially the deserts were always a highlight: Hem recited his own poems for us. Inspiring...!

We can highly recommend that if you are planning a trip in or around Nepal to book the tour with Hem.

Great trek with this friendly and knowledgeable guide

I had a great 8 day trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Raj. He is a kind man who is clearly very passionate about his country and enjoys showing the wonders of the Himalayas to tourists. 

He knew the area very well and was able to provide a very enjoyable trip. Great value for money. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and looked after when travelling with Raj. Would highly recommend his tours and treks.

I was recomended of my Nepali friends that Mr. Hem Raj is one of the best guide in Nepal, because it was my first time in Nepal.

It was apsolutely true.  He is really open minded guide, very international  and open minded personal, very flexible profesional in his job.

We went to Mustang area for couple days. We had landslide on the way blocking the road so me dear guide manage to get us jeep on other side of lanslide, but road was cleaned and we were ready to hit road again. It just explains that Hem Ray always has contacts and ideas how to deal with situations if such a happens.

My dear guide was always open for changing plans and had suggestions for better planing. Always listend of my interests on trekking and he helped me had gread experience of this short trip.

So i highly reccommend him :)

I had three days of custom touring with Hem and am so happy to have had him as a guide. His English is very good and his patience endless. He has vast knowledge of the Pokhara valley and local neighbourhoods. I highly recommend this trustworthy guide.

We had a great time with Raju as our guide in Pokhara on 15 December 2018

Raju is an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about his country and the sights that he brought us to. He was flexible and very accommodating when we made changes to our itineraries. He understoood our preference and made the adjustments to the timing of our tour so that we could see what we wanted.

He speaks very English and attentive to us too. Rest assured that you are in good hands if you have him as your guide.
