Deepak Aryal
What an incredible adventure! We had an amazing trip with Deepak Aryal and could not recommend them enough. From the minute we booked we were impressed with the communication from Deepak and the team who speedily answered all of our questions and provided us with a comprehensive pre-trek packing list.
When we arrived in Kathmandu, our trek Deepak gave us a comprehensive outline of the itinerary and what to expect which prepared us for all eventualities.
We struck gold with Deepak as our tour guide too . Over the course of the two weeks he went from guide to friend to family. Deepak having done over 200 treks had so much knowledge of not only the Himalayas but also medical knowledge on how to minimize the chances of altitude sickness, which none of us got. Because of him, we were able to achieve 100% success rate with all members of our group not only making base camp, but also making the difficult yet rewarding trek up Kala Patthar.
Deepak kept us laughing, even when we were altitude trekking in -17 degrees! He kept us humble with the number of times he beat us at UNO, and always reminded us to stop and admire the view. He was constantly checking for altitude sickness so we felt safe and well cared for. He even brought up a pulse oximeter to check our oxygen levels. His passion about preserving the beauty of the Himalayas and caring for its people was infectious, and he helped us recognize the importance of sustainable trekking.
Our wonderful Porters tej and bal made the trek much easier for us and were always there if we needed help. We couldn't have done it without them. Tej especially was like a second guide and joined us for acclimatization treks and the trek to base camp.
Overall this was a trek of the lifetime. Going with Deepak Aryal and his agency made it the perfect trip.
