A couple of months ago, a group of 5 of us decided to book our two week trip to Nepal, and I must say that it was probably one of the best decisions that I made this year!
We were all new to this as none of us have ever been on a trekking adventure that lasts more than a week (what more two weeks!) and therefore, hoped for a reliable guide and porters we could depend on. Being assigned to Shreeram (hereby referred to as "Ram") as our very own guide (and founder of Nepal Trek Hub), as well as Dev and Surendra as our helpful porters was like a dream come true.
From the very first day meeting Ram, I knew we would be in good hands throughout the journey. He was extremely observant (he would notice the little things from the condition of our shoes to our health), proactive, reliable, trustworthy, kind, and to top it all - funny! We never had to worry about our accommodation or food; he would always go the extra mile by ensuring we get the best possible place to stay, he ensures we are well fed (always asking if we need any refills for our dhal bhat sets!) and checking on us to ensure we are all in a healthy state. He was genuine and often took the time to share his insights with us, giving us good advise and information as went through each and every day - AND he does this with a sense of humour!
I am very grateful for all that Ram, Dev and Surendra have done for us. They have definitely exceeded our expectations and made our trekking trip THAT much more enjoyable. It was unforgettable in so many ways, so much so that we are already talking about making another trip to Nepal in the next few years (hopefully under Ram's guide, with Dev and Surendra around too!). The trio had a commendable attitude - they were very hardworking, positive, and encouraging, which contributed to our success trekking through Thorong La Pass.
The memories formed over the two weeks are undoubtedly here to stay. I will remember all the little things that Ram, Dev and Surendra have done for us - some which include Ram being our personal photographer, taking care of my phone along the way, photobombing our shots, posing for us and with us, trying out random pastries and doughnuts, teaching us Nepali language, bringing us for local food, telling us "who knows!", and etc. It has been truly memorable and I am eternally grateful!
I would definitely recommend Ram (and Nepal Trek Hub) to anyone who wishes to experience trekking in Nepal. I am assured that the team will ensure they provide the best service to you. Thanks again and I hope that we will cross paths again soon!
FANTASTIC JOB, BOYS!
