Walking with Hem

Reviewed December 29, 2016

BI

In November we spent three days walking with Hem  -  he is prudent, experienced, gentle and has many social skills! It is a pleasure to have a guide like him! When we come back to Nepal, we will contact him again and we are hoping, that he will have time for us.

A Trip to Nepal should never happen without our beloved Poet Raju!

Reviewed December 15, 2016

This September we spend three weeks on the Annapurna circuit with Raju, Ashish and Ram. On this trip, Raju was always a helpfull and loyal friend to us. He helped us finding good accomodations and provided us with usefull 'Ultra Power' Tiger Balm and Garlic at the top of the mountain. So it was possible for us to cross the Pass. Besides that he wrote beautiful poems and invited us to his family for the upcoming festival. We are so thankfull for this experience. Thank you so much Raju!

Perfect time with Hem

Reviewed December 8, 2016

We spend 2 weeks with Hem and Asish (Porter) this October walking the Khopra- and MardiHimal Trek in the Annapurna Region! We had a great time with hem! He is a very funny and nice guy who always took good care of us and did a perfect job as a guide. It never becomes boring with him and i can highly recommend to choose him as a guide! As a local he is very good in bargaining with other locals so it happened many times that we got a cheaper price for our bed & food in compare to solo travellers. Furthermore he is a very talented poet who provides daily poems to his guests - very cool :)

Pokhara Beauty

Reviewed November 13, 2016

Our travel to Pokhara was more enjoyable, thanks to Hem Raj. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Trekking seemed exciting but he knew exactly the path to take based on our stamina and strength. Was extremely cautious and knew his way around. He went an extra mile to show us some additional tourist attractions and ensured we covered most of the beauty. Would highly recommend his services to any tourist visiting Pokhara. Thank you Hem Raj :)

Poon Hill Trek

Reviewed October 28, 2016

Hem is an engaging, knowledgeable and friendly guide. He coped with my daughters and I, three crazy english women for five days,. Helping us explore the foothills of the Himalayas including Poon Hill. The scenery was immense as was Hems generosity in organising accomodation; food; pacing the walk to our needs; providing extra blankets; spotting monkeys; helping me down steep steps and across streams. He is s true gentleman. We had so many great conversations on flora; fauna; nepalese culture and the environment that I felt I had learnt so much about this amazing country. I cannot recommend him highly enough. At the end of our journey we were all sad to say goodbye, he had been a great companion.
