Hem Raj Bastola

The prospect of a trek (even a short one) as part of my recent visit to Nepal was a bit daunting.  I am a longtime walker and hiker but I wasn't sure (at the age of 61) that I was also a Himalayan Trekker.  However Hem and our porter quickly demonstrated that I and my travel companion were in good hands.  We recently did a classic 4 day/3 night trek through Gorapani and never had a moment of problem or stress.  The lodges he picked were fun and funky and it was clear that Hem was attending to my pace without being overly concerned.  The trek was a very nice life accomplishment!
