We had Hem as part of a business/touristic tour through Pokhara. He deeply impressed me and my mother by his clear English as much as his vast knowledge. He is a local to Pokhara, and even worked at many of the local sightseeing places like himself. He did not say anything when we very spontaneously changed the tour plan and he was able to adapt very well to our uncommon trip. Thank you Hem for having taken care of us, best of lucks by Matthias and Sandra

Hem was an amazing guide and knows Pokhara hiking very well! We did a 4 day trek with him and a Porter. The first day unfortunately it rained, so there were leeches. Hem was accommodating, quickly finding a tea house near by and the next day a different leech free route.  We then hiked up to Gorepani and on to Gandruk for the next few days enjoying beautiful weather. Hem found the best rooms :) in each tea house we stayed in.  I would recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the Pokhara area.

Qualities:

em is highly knowledgeable, chatty, fun loving, patient when you might struggle trekking!. Great conversation on so many subjects. Very down to earth and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend a trek with hem! 5 STARS!!!!

I just recently came back from my second trekking trip with Hem. I can't say enough good things about this man! He is far more then just a guide along the trail, he  makes a point to teach you about the people, their culture and religion, wildlife, and the plants and mountains that surround you. The knowledge he openly passed onto me is priceless and I am greatful to have spent time with him!  I will definitely be hiring him for my third trip and highly recommend hiring him if you are looking for an extremely educational/one of a kind experience! 

Me Hem is a very experienced guide and a sensitive person, who will assist you not only in the technical aspects of the Trek ( and he knows a lot) but also in the human considerations ( my son is celiac and he worried about his food all the time).We trekked with him during 10 days  to the ABC and our experiencia was wonderful.
