Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp
We were in Nepal trekking with Hari for 10 days or so. He was an outstanding guide. He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited, and the terrain, and culture. He puts all of his heart into his work. We felt very well taken care of. He was a joy to talk to and helped us to prepare in every way we needed. We were very pleased.

Incredible guy and incredible guide!!
My girlfriend and I spent 3 weeks in Nepal on April 2016. We contacted with Hari since 2 friends recommended him as a good and reliable guide. They were completely right! We did ABC trek in 10 days and we had nothing to complain about. He was really flexible and adapted the trek to our needs. Since we were really happy, we decided to repeat and do the Langtang trek with him. He gave us interesting explanations about things happened during 2015 earthquake which made of this trek an unforgettable experience.
But I think that most memorable thing were conversations on lodges dining room after a hard day of trekking. He is a really intelligent guy that will surprise you!!

Hari - the guide. Annapurna base camp...the trek.
anyone remember or know of October 2014 in the annapurna/everest base camp region????? enormous avalanches...over 200 people injured, over 40 people killed???/ I was there! at ABC (annapurna base camp) 4,100 meters.....Hari was our guide. Up until that major event Hari was leading us....carrying what needed to be carried.....quiet, calm, deep knowledge of not only the region and trekking ..but encompassing knowledge of politics, history and culture...while i am panting..following his discourse.....he is at ease with it all. then.....the storm hit. HIT !!!! our group split up some wanting to get off the mountain as soon as possible...others, me included wanted to wait it out...Hari stayed with my half of the group (another guide went down the mountain with the others). the following day he took us down...ice, crossing engorged rivers, sounds of "mini" avalanches all around...he took us down. Quietly, calmly, safely. So looking for a guide?
the guy has the experience, the knowledge, the calm, the inner strength.....and when the earth isn't shaking...humor and playful attitude. I have sent good friends to trek with him....they didm;t have an avalanche...but they had a great time with him.....he loves "his" mountains...and it shows!

Professional, trustworthy and generously kind guides
Hari lead our group expertly across a variety of terrain on a 2-week hike through the Himalayas. We met up with him in Kathmandu and spent time getting to know him prior to the hike. He shared his knowledge of the areas we passed through as well as showed a sincere interest in getting to know each of us better. He also acted like the perfect host making sure that we were taken care of during breaks and offering to carry our packs when we were tired. He was fearless yet wise. He made our trip infinitely better giving us access and understanding into the culture and region we wouldn't have otherwise had. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat. And we've now made a lifelong friend.
