Hem was my guide for one full day and another half day in Pokhara.  He was everything I like in a private guide-knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and flexible.  He takes the time to explain the culture, history, and area of Pokhara and does so with genuineness and a depth of knowledge.  Hem's education, personality, and easy going manner truly made my experience a memorable one.  I highly recommend Hem and hope to return one day!

We had Hem as our guide for a half day in Pokhara (World Peace Pagoda, Gupteswar Caves, Devi’s Falls and International Mountain Museum). He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer every single one of our questions very well. He explained the history and culture behind each of sights we saw and we learned a lot from him. 

He was also incredibly friendly and so easy to talk to. Hem goes above and beyond for his clients- I had left my hat at one of the sites and he went back for it after our tour and dropped it off at our hotel. In addition to being a knowledgeable tour guide, he is an amazing person as well. I would definitely recommend him to everyone coming to Pokhara! 

We spent seven days with Hem trekking part of the Annapurna Circuit. He knows really well the area, so he provides you information about the flora and history of the area. He speaks really good English, so you do not have to worry about that. 

Hem respects your pace, so if you need to take several breaks, you can do it. Even, he is flexible with the route. I believe that at the end of the trek, you get a new friend in this beautiful country. 

I can say that the trekking that I did was one of the best experiences of my life. I would love one day come back to Pokhara and be able to do a longer trek.
