Hem Raj Bastola

My wife and I met Raj while he was guiding a Dutch couple on the Annapurna Circuit this past October. As on does when hiking for several days in the same direction we became friends Raj and the Dutch couple. As we neared the top of the Circuit our group grew and Raj was gracious in welcoming us under his guiding care. He would make sure everyone had a room the guesthouse and that we were all taken care of during our stay. Even if meant jumping into the kitchen to help get things moving a little faster. He was a very attentive guide during hike of course with the majority of his attention on the couple who had hired him but he also kept an eye on everyone in our group even as it grew to 8 people plus Raj.
