n 2007 April – May we spent 3 weeks in Nepal. We made Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek, visited Pokhara city and Chitwan National Park with our excellent personal guide, Binod Mahat.

Immediately after having got in touch with him by e-mail, he handled us as his most important clients, planned us our itinerary and organized our stays and travels. He found out a perfect program to show all the lions of Nepal.

With him, we had the great advenage of an independent guide and we got excellet personal service. Binod is a friendly individual, thoughtful, discreet, reponsible and patient. He made us feel safe at all times. Morning he woke us up with a hot tea and at the end of the daily trek he went ahead and found us the best lodge to stay. Evening he entertained us by playing Nepalese card games or simply by chatting. He knows several lodge owners and staffs well; he can arrange accommodation and food in any settlement easily. He arranged everything so smoothly that we did not even notice what great efforts he had made for us. We had nothing to do just enjoy our stay and relax. In spite of his fragile look, Binod is very strong and fit. He moves on thehill fast and with ease, he was always a bit ahead of us, pulling us mentally up to the hill. He is very responsible and amazingly tough. When our porter got AMS, he took him down 800 m in the evening, and next morning came back to us, carried our heavy luggage himself and made the original program with us, ascending more than 1200 m that day ! We had Binod’s favorite, always smiling porter, Chandra. Binod and Chandra are perfecct, harmonic team; they had worked together for many years. We can recommend them to everybody looking for the best guidance in Nepal ! Thank you Binod and Chandra.
