My name is Bill and I have just returned home after trekking in the Everest region with Manaslu Guides Nepal. My guide was none other than my Himalayan Sherpa, Rajesh. When you arrive in Nepal and walk around Thamel looking for a trekking company, it can be incredibly overwhelming to choose. I finally decided on Manaslu Guides Nepal because of their friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff.
What makes this company special is that it is owned and run by actual guides, not just a boss, and that makes a huge difference. Rajesh spoke perfect English and his knowledge of the region was impeccable. Every mountain in the area, its name, height and climbing difficulty, he knew it all.
I am more into mountain climbing than trekking, but I wanted a close-up view of the mountains I hope to summit one day. Having such a knowledgeable guide made the trip unforgettable. Even other trekkers from different companies commented on how great Rajesh was compared to their guides.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had Rajesh as my guide, and I am proud to now call him my friend. I will 100 percent be using Rajesh from Manaslu Guides Nepal again for my future trips to the Himalayas. Thank you, Manaslu Guides Nepal, and especially thank you to my guide and friend Rajesh. See you soon.
