This was the second time I have been fortunate enough to see the sights of Nepal with Binod, the first time being in 2005, to EBC, this time myself and two friends trekked the Annapurna circuit and it was even more spectacular than the Khumbu. I can wholeheartedly recommend Binod to anyone looking to travel with an expert guide who knows all the best places to stay, and always has your safety and wellbeing as his paramount concern. To travel with Binod is a great pleasure and his itineraries are never set in stone, and always build in essential acclimatisation time to allow you to get the most out of the experience. Don’t think twice about it’

Below David has written a testimonial of his first visit to Nepal –

“From the moment we arrived in Nepal, our guide Binod made us as welcome as I’ve felt in any of the many countries I have visited, nothing was too much trouble, and everything was perfectly organized.

He was at the airport waiting for us to transfer to our Kathmandu home, bestowing gifts of flower garlands on us ( A Nepalese custom), we started our trek the next morning, and whilst in retrospect I think we could have made the trip without a guide, Binod smoothed our way through the chaos that is the domestic terminal at KTM airport. From the moment we landed at Lukla all our needs were taken care of but in such a way as you still felt that the experience was your own and not that of a pampered tour group. The two porters that carried our large rucksacks were lovely guys and always smiling (as is the way in Nepal). The trek was a most fulfilling experience and during the trip I like to think we became good friends. The Independent part of the trek did shine through for the whole time we were in Nepal, In the morning I would say to Binod where are we staying tonight and I would just head off, with Binod keeping a check on the slower of the three of us. I’d recommend to anyone the services Binod gives and I’ll be coming back for more…..see you in 2007 Binod…………Namaste’ ”
