    Rey was a ray of sunshine! I have been visiting places and using different tour guides for weeks - and I can say with certainty that Rey is the best one I have had so far. He cares about the mountains and Nepal as a whole and brings extensive knowledge. As we were hiking, he kept removing trashes he found along the way, and telling me the names of the birds, animals and trees we encountered. Other than that, he is patient and got a fun and outgoing personality. Throughout the hike, he kept encouraging me (I kept complaining about the endless stairs we had to climb), and reminding me that we could always slow down if I wished. He also shared jokes and stories about life in Nepal - which allowed me to have a sense of what it is like to live there. We ended the hike with local snacks he had brought. I am grateful that I got to learn about Nepal throught his lenses and experience this hike. No words can do justice to what an amazing guide he is. I recommend him without hesitation.

    Challenging trek from about 1500 to over 2700 meters, all uphill. The guide proved to be very prepared and professional, always attentive to safety and clear in explanations. Excellent English, which makes the experience perfect even for non-Italian speakers. Hard path but beautiful views and great satisfaction on arrival. Recommended for those who have a good workout and are looking for a serious and well-organized hike.

    Lovely trek through forrest. Really well organised day trip. Excellent driver who navigated impossible traffic easily and professionally.Guide Purshottam was great and so professional. As I was the only guest this day, he was so easy to engage with, very interesting and helpful in some of the steeper, more slippery parts of the trail. Had a great day and highly recommend the trek and guide Purshottam.
