Thakur was my guide for the trek to Everest
Base Camp. Hiring Thakur was the best
decision I have ever made and he was truly
amazing right from the start. He picked me
up at the airport and facilitated everything
for me in Kathmandu prior to our departure.
The following day, when the trek began, is
when I really got to know Thakur. He is very
smart, know-ledgeable about world affairs,
his country, politics, and of course, the
Himalaya. He is also funny, outgoing, and
friendly. He has been guiding for over eight
years, including all of the major treks in
Nepal, and has guided the Everest Base Camp
trek countless times. On our trek, he
pointed out the name and height of every
peak we saw in the Kumbu Region. Very
impressive! Thakur is also very cautious and
aware about AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).
He is very familiar with all of the symptoms
of AMS and knows how to handle situations
involving mild and/or serious AMS. Thakur is
also very experienced with weather
patterns/conditions and safety precautions;
he demonstrated excellent judgment on our
trek.
In the tea houses, Thakur facilitated my
breakfast, lunch, and dinner orders with the
tea house owners. He always had us stay in
the best tea houses, always made sure my
room was suitable, then in the evening he
would help me filter water for the next day
and then we would relax and play cards.
Thanks to Thakur, every detail in the tea
houses was taken care of and I never had any
problems or uncomfortable situations. Thakur
always had everything under control and
provided service that far exceeded my
expectations.
All told, I highly recommend Thakur and I
highly recommend his trekking agency. I am
very thankful I hired Thakur to be my guide,
and on my next trip to the Himalaya, I will
certainly call on him again. He is a very
experienced, speaks English very well, and
is always thinking about his client's needs
and well-being. He provided me with the
experience and service of a lifetime.
If you have any questions about Thakur or
his agency, please feel free to email me at
the email address below. I would be happy to
provide more information. I had a wonderful
experience trekking in Nepal, and I owe it
all to Thakur.
Sincerely,
