sujan
Just wanted to pass some advice onto fellow travellers / trekkers. I
Just completed doing the Annapurna Base Camp trek (12 days) and I
wanted to recommend our guide, sujan. His company website is
www.nepaltrekkingtour.com you can find all his contact details there.
sujan was extremely knowledgeable about the region we were trekking in
(he has trekked all over Nepal though so I'm sure the same is true of
other regions.) He also had a lot of experience with AMS, which was
very comforting to us, especially as I am feeling ill towards our
highest point. Luckily we made it to 4100m without incident
He was great company on the trek, happy to share his views and
awareness about Nepalese culture, politics etc and lots of critic in
the evenings as well teaching us Nepalese card games and usually
maintenance we entertain.
All of the accommodation we stayed in was of a high standard and he
always made sure we were well fed, including bringing fresh fruit for
us from Kathmandu in his pack and doling it out along the trail. (A
real treat at that altitude and we didn't see any other guides doing
it either.) He also provided afternoon tea and biscuits.
It was an all inclusive package (accommodation, food, guide & porter -
pay for your own alcohol and desserts) and his rates were extremely
competitive, especially considering the really high cost of food in
the Everest region. His treatment of our porter, Trek, was also
excellent.
Before we left for the trek he helped us rent any equipment we needed
for excellent rates. By the end of the trek we considered sujan our
friend, not just our guide. He brought us to his apartment where he
cooked us a delicious dinner and introduced us to his family. We will
definitely avail of his services again when we return to Nepal to do
another trek, except next time he has invited to stay in his apartment
and not in a hotel in Kathmandu.
I know choosing a guide is a big decision; we agonized over it
ourselves and were really nervous about how it would turn out. As it
turned out we were really lucky to have come across sujan. If you have
any questions please feel free to contact me. You can contract sujan
