Due to the weather, we weren't able to trek very far. However, there is so much I have to say about Karan and his team. Such professional men, and always had our safety first. I would 100000% recommend trekking with this company. I still carry a lot of grief over not being able to complete the trek, but I am so comforted by the fact that we were safe and with professionals. When I come back to Nepal, I look forward to trekking with Karan again.

My wife and I together with another couple joined Raju pre-pandemic to experience the Manaslu trek. From the greet at the airport to the fairwell this trip remains top of the chart. From hotel accommodations, to trekking permits to everyday logistics of food and sleep in the tea houses Raju does it all. We had 2 porters hand picked by Raju who were also trained chefs. Every night they would enter the kitchen of whichever tea house we landed in and prepared tasty and hygienic meals. They were always keeping an eye out for food they did not trust for our North American stomachs. Weather, physical fitness, culture and more means that the unpredictable is unavoidable. You need a guide who can turn on a dime and Raju did it for; the initial bus breaking down and organizing jeep relief, adjusting itinerary for someone having to abandon the trip, making showers or cleaning facilities available as much as possible and managing the speed and needs of different people.

There are those experiences that come and go like an all inclusive beach get away that are most often forgettable, then there are those that will remain with you for life and that makes this one unforgettable.

Many years later we still keep in touch with Raju and his beautiful wife Punam and through WhatsApp have been part of them becoming parents through the arrival of Pranishna. ? Namaste

p.s. looking forward to Ruby Valley trek in the near future.

Karan was our guide for a 16 day trek around the Annapurnas. Unfortunately, the weather did not collaborate and we had to interrupt the trip. Mother Nature threw monsoon rain and landslides at us left and right. Our guide Karan, and porters Emanuel and Hom were very nice, useful and professional. But more importantly they had our safety in mind at all time and kept us constantly informed of the situation as well as our options. While other trekkers were taking more risks and ended up stranded (some casualties happened and emergency evacuation by helicopter were necessary for some), we can say that we remained safe at all times. Karan, was quick on finding solutions. Also, the communication was constant and excellent, very good English. I definitely have unfinished business in Nepal and will hire Karan again.

This was a travel highlight for my husband and I in large part because of the excellent service we received from Raju. Raju made sure we stayed in comfortable accommodations, ate well and were able to take full advantage of the spectacular vistas of the Himalayas. We highly recommend a Himalayan trek with Raju!!!

I had an amazing and tranquil experience trekking to Annapurna Basecamp with Karan. He is extremely experienced (which shines) and also very caring. What jumps out is his level of care about your comfort. He often checks in with you to make sure you are enjoying your trek (while on the hike) and ensures you are comfortable with your food and accommodations. I did slip a couple of times (being a bit lazy in my footing) and he was right there. He is also a fun guy so we enjoyed the ups and downs that the trek requires! You are in great hands with Karan and the team.
