When we started to organize our trip to Nepal we had to answer one question first. Do we want to go on our own, or do we want to hire a guide? On our previous trips to South America we never used the help of a guide. So we had to get familiar with this idea first.
The time frame of our journey was very limited and we wanted to make the most of the time in Nepal plus we did not want to travel in a big tour group. These have been finally the crucial points why we decided to hire a guide. From the first moment when we arrived at the airport everything was planned and organized. We did not have to bother finding an accommodation, finding a guide, organizing bus and flight tickets or how to get to the starting point of the trek. Everything was organized very well in advance but still with room for spontaneous changes of the schedule. We could enjoy our journey from the first second we did arrive in Nepal.
To choose Binod as our guide was dead right! Already the appearance of his homepage, his precise offer and answers made a very good impression. Of course to hire somebody which you do not know for a trek which lasts several days bears always a certain risk. The various recommendations and testimonials made us finally confident. But during the trek our expectations have been beaten! Binod found the right balance between acting as a guide and leave the necessary room for privacy of his clients. He was always very keen to get feedback about any part of his services in order to understand the needs and demands of his clients and to improve his services. We believe this attitude makes the different to other guides.
We honestly highly recommend Binod as a guide.
Thank you very much indeed Binod, for your company and an unforgettable vacation.
