Five of us midlifers picked Kathmandu as the place to go for our long-planned holiday together. We have known each other all our lives but for a large part of our adult lives, we have lived in different countries and have vastly different lives. So our five days together was precious and I am glad we had Paras who made it even more memorable in all the best ways. He was friendly from the start and speaks English very fluently as he is a linguistics major. He is vey knowledgable in the history and culture of people and city. I could tell right away this was someone who is very passionate to live a meaningful life and inspire others to do the same. If there is one thing that stands out most about Paras as a tour guide, it is his attention to details. He listens, (even in those times when there were five boisterous ladies talking at the same time) he pays attention and he delivers - Coffee pick me ups in the mornings, need for more Nepalese rupees, a special souvenir at the last minute, frequent toilet breaks. He is professional, keeping promises times, doing daily morning pow wows to discuss and maybe make last minute modifications to itineraries. He is also very resourceful in comfort up with alternative suggestions and planed all our days well so that we maximized our time in Nepal as a group and as individuals. Paras also has mad talents. He's social work such as the Give A Book Day which he and his school mate founded that is celebrated on Valentine's every year to encourage reading. It is an achievement he can be proud of for the children and the future of the city. Lastly, his singing voice. If you do decide to work with Paras, see if he will treat you to a song as he did us.
