Unfortunately, I had bad experience with Madan. He got drunk and behaved inappropriately with me which made me complete the trek solo. I hired Madan to do the Three Passes trek after reading amazing reviews here. As a solo female traveler, it was important for me to find someone that is reliable for such challenging trek like Three Passes. In the middle of the trek, Madan stayed out drinking, to the point that staff at the tea house we stayed at had to carry him to his room. To make matters worse, he was incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional with me the next morning. It got to the point where I no longer felt comfortable or supported, so I made the tough call to finish the trek on my own. It’s a shame because he has the skills to be a great guide, but the lack of reliability and respect made it impossible to continue with him. If you're looking for a guide that you can count on, I’d look elsewhere.

We recently completed the EBC trek on the long way around with Madan. He was knowledgeable about the mountains and happy to impart this. Always friendly, supportive and good fun, but this never detracted from the serious element of keeping us safe in this challenging environment. Thank you!

We recently completed a 16 day trek to Everest Base Camp, via the Chola pass. Madan was supportive and knowledgeable throughout the trek, particularly when I struggled with the Chola pass. His knowledge of the area and liaison with the team were invaluable.

Madan was one of the guides on a trek to Everest base camp - he was a fantastic guide with great knowledge of the trails and the mountains. He was always conscious of ensuring that all the team were safe at all times and kept a really good pace for us.

Doing the EBC+Chola pass&Gokyo trek was an incredible experience that we couldn't have done without Madan. He surely knows every step on the trek and his advice and experience were invaluable. He is from Lukla so he knows both the trails and people around, so in case there are any problems we can assure you, he can solve them. Even though the trek was quite challenging (especially the part after EBC), he made sure we are safe and comfortable all the time. Hire Madan and I assure you, nothing bad can happen to you😄 It was so much fun talking with him and playing cards with him, his English is also great.

Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek!! I can’t recommend Madan enough as a guide for the Everest Base Camp trek. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring throughout the entire journey. He managed every detail with ease and kept our group safe, motivated, and smiling — even on the toughest days. Madan’s deep connection to the mountains and his genuine kindness made the experience truly special. He wasn’t just a guide — he was a constant source of support, encouragement, and insight. I feel so lucky to have had him by my side on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Thank you, Madan!

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek — a goal I’ve dreamed about for years — and I can honestly say that having Madan as our guide made all the difference. The Himalayas are breathtaking, but it was Madan’s expertise, care, and genuine warmth that turned this adventure into something truly unforgettable. From day one, Madan was organised, calm, and reassuring. He managed every aspect of the trek with professionalism — from permits and accommodation to pacing and altitude awareness. He knew the trail like the back of his hand, always one step ahead to make sure we were safe, comfortable, and motivated. What truly sets Madan apart is his heart. He didn’t just guide us — he looked after us. When altitude or fatigue hit, he was always there with encouragement, humour, or a steady hand. He checked in constantly on how we were feeling and adjusted the pace without ever making us feel pressured. His deep knowledge of the local culture and the mountains added so much meaning to every step we took. There were moments when I wasn’t sure I could keep going, and Madan’s quiet strength got me through. He made every challenge feel achievable and every small victory worth celebrating. If you’re planning to trek to Everest Base Camp, I cannot recommend Madan highly enough. He’s not just a guide — he’s the kind of person who makes you feel like you belong in the mountains. Thank you, Madan, for your kindness, leadership, and for helping make this experience one of the most meaningful of my life.

An Unforgettable Trek with Madan Rai. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the very start, Madan and his team made me feel truly welcome. Their kindness, care and attention to detail were beyond what I expected. Everything was well organized, and they made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Madan's calm leadership and quiet encouragement gave me confidence, especially during the tougher moments. He wasnt just a guide - he was a steady, supportive friend along the way. The team's genuine care made this trek special. They checked on us, shared local stories, and always made us feel like family. Thanks to them, this wasnt just a trek. It was a life experience I'll always remember. I'm truly grateful to Madan and his incredible team for making this trip unforgettable.

I contracted Madan for the three-pass trek (which, on my request, later became the two-pass trek), and he was very helpful from planning the itinerary to organising accommodation, porter service and, ultimately, providing guiding services during the trek itself. I was very happy with the service and accommodation provided, always felt safe, and appreciated Madan's advice and flexibility regarding the itinerary. 100% recommended.

We did EBC trek and Chola Pass/Gokyo lakes trek with Madan. We connected with him through Honey guide website and are very happy that we did. He grew up in Lukla and is very well versed with the EBC region. We added 2 days to our ascent to EBC. Both Madan and our porter Jeet were very flexible with their time and accommodated the additional days. Even though we wanted to do Chola Pass, Madan only booked us for 12 days initially and advised to listen to our bodies and decide about Chola Pass we reach EBC. We appreciated his thoughtfulness and consideration for our safety and expenses. Madan was very patient, observant and encouraging throughout our trek. He made sure we kept up with hydration and rest which helped us with acclimatization. Other than minor headache, we did not experience any other symptoms. Madan is fluent in English and very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and history of local region. He chose the best possible accommodations and made sure we were comfortable. The joy of the faces of Madan and Jeet when we reached EBC and Chola Pass summit added to our sense of accomplishment. We would absolutely recommend Madan to anyone who wants to trek Everest region. We would like to return for another trek with Madan in near future.

I really want you to choose him because Madan is a truly excellent guide. He will be able to take you sightseeing safely and ensure you reach your intended destination. He communicates very well in English. If you're worried about booking your Lukla flight, he can help you with that too. You won't be disappointed if you choose him.

Our EBC trek with Madan was amazing. He always made sure we were feeling well and was constantly checking on us. We took the hike slow and kept apologizing for slowing him down but he always assured us we were fine, especially on the longer days. He always kept a positive attitude towards everything and never spoke negatively about anything. Madan was extremely flexible while hiking. Our original plan was to do EBC and think about Gokyo after we finished and were unsure if we were even going to hike it. But with a little convincing he got us to do it. He made sure that we didn’t have any symptoms of altitude sickness and when we had questions he always cleared our doubts and assured that we were doing extremely well. This boosted us and made our trek very enjoyable! He always checked on us during meals and also gave us company playing Uno ! Madan always booked the best tea houses and recommended the best foods to eat. Overall our experience with Madan was amazing and would with go him again. I would definitely recommend him!!

We did the EBC trek and came back via the Cho La Pass and Gokyo. Initially we were not committed to Gokyo as we wanted to assess ourselves after reaching EBC but Madan was very flexible with our schedule. Also he constantly monitored everyday and made sure that we consumed at least 4 liters of water. This helped us a lot adjusting to the high altitude. When we were slow he made sure to check on us and adjusted the pace. Also, Madan booked us in the best tea houses possible on the trek and made sure we were always comfortable. Madan has excellent historical and cultural knowledge of the Khumbu region which made the EBC trek very interesting. With Madan we were always confident of completing the trek successfully and would highly recommend him to choose as your guide!

I just finished the Three Passes Trek in Nepal, and I can't thank Madan enough for making the experience unforgettable! Over the course of 17 days we completed the Three high Passes plus some side treks to EBC, ABC, Gokyo Ri, and Kala Pattar, he was absolutely amazing. Not only did he know everything about the mountains, flora, and fauna, but he also made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. His friendly and kind nature made the trek so much more enjoyable, and he was always there with a smile, making sure everyone was doing okay. If you're planning a trek in Nepal, I highly recommend having him as your guide! You won't regret it. Thanks Madan!!!!

Madan was a fantastic guide! Having recently completed the 3 High Passes and Everest Base Camp, I cannot recommend Madan enough! Throughout the entire 17 day trek, Madan was very informative and knowledgeable of the mountains and culture, providing amazing facts throughout. Madan ensured that we was safe throughout the trek, he monitored our health closely to ensure we all finished the trek successfully. Madan ensured we stayed at nice tea houses throughout, they was always clean and had great food. Madan went above and beyond my expectations, upon arrival he showed me round his village and had coffee at his home. I cannot recommend Madan enough! What an unforgettable experience

Having Madan as a guide is a really great recommendation. He is young, calm and kind. He is also informative too. He knows everything in Everest region. With his 12 years of trekking, it can help me and my friends finished the trip safely. We had the Three Passes with Everest Base Camp with him. He always monitored our body, what we felt, suggested us to drink lots of water to overcome the high altitude sickness. Every tea houses that he booked is clean, great, and cozy. Every meals can also full fill my stomach. Last tips from me, let’s have a snooker play with him. He is a great player LOL too. If you read this. Don’t be hesitate. Please go with Madan Rai. You won’t regret it

I had the most amazing experience trekking to everest base camp. My guide Madan was nothing short of incredible. He was so knowlagable which made me feel so comfortable and safe, he was also very patient with me on days I found tough. Always made sure I was feeling well, fed and hydrated to make sure we had a successful trip up to base camp. I don't know when I'll be back to the Himalayas but when I return It'll be to climb a Island peak with Madan!

My trek with Madan was amazing! Everything was planned well, It was nice not having to worry about organising accomodations and meals as it was all taken care of. My guide, Madan went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after and my health and safety was priorities. My porter Akash was friendly and efficient. Couldn't have completed this trek without them! Highly recommend Madan for the Gokyo to EBC trek. You won't regret visiting the area, the scenery will blow you away!

Madan, a native of Lukla with over a decade of guiding experience in the Everest region and beyond, is an exceptionally capable, dependable, and delightful guide. He possesses an extensive knowledge of trails, mountains, flora, fauna, culture, and lifestyle. Throughout our 12-day trek around EBC and Cho La pass, I had unforgettable memories from the Himalaya thanks to Madan. It was an wonderful time on the trail every single day with non-stop laughters and new learnings & experiences. Hopefully see him soon for another Himalaya adventure.

Together with my boyfriend we spent 12 days hiking with Madan to EBC and Cho La Pass. Due to his great character, Madan made this experience unforgettable. He did his best to make us feel comfortable and keep us healthy in high altitudes. He is a very fun and positive person, always open to joke around and join playing card games. He is a very transparent person and it felt like a friend guiding us around the beautiful mountains.

An amazing experience trekking the EBC route with my friend (whose lifelong dream was to trek EBC), our wonderful guide Madan and our sweet porter Lal Bahadur Dai. It was such a fun time having a local guide we immediately felt safe and comfortable with and we connected well and had many laughs. There were also certain issues/details we felt more comfortable sharing and asking him for advice. He took great care of us organizing our accomodations,meals, itinerary and our porter, LB, was a really sweet guy who always had a smile on his face, carried our gear with no complaints and would get easily bashful from all us diddis joking around with him :p We had good weather on the way up, beautiful views of the Himalayas and were successful in reaching our goal of EBC. Dhanya vad to Madan and LB. Namaste

Madan has been more than just a tour guide... He has become like a brother to me. From the second we started the Basecamp Trek he was incredibly helpful and attentive to my needs. He would monitor my water intake to make sure I didn't get sick on the trek and he knew the lay of the land backwards and forwards. When we were acclimatizing in Namche Bazar he invited me to a family gathering who were incredibly hospitable. I also can't say enough good things about his porter Srijan- he was such a kind hearted person who was always there for me when I needed him. Madan also takes really good pictures which is very important when you go on a trip like this and want to capture memories to bring back home for yourself and to show your loved ones. He made this trip the best experience of my life and I can't thank the universe enough for connecting me with him. Also when you use Madan as your guide he makes sure you are staying in the best tea houses with the best accommodations and meals. Being with a patient guide is so important and there was never a time where I felt rushed. He listens to your body and knows when to take breaks for water and rest. Madan and Srijan are the best guide/sherpa combination in all of Nepal and I would reccomend everyone to use them. Thanks so much for this beautiful life changing experience Madan. There is no one else I would have liked to do this journey with. I look forward to hiring you again in the future. 💜

Me and 3 friends did the three passes trek with Madan and it was the best experience ever! having Madan as out guide was such a pleasure, he's grown up in the area (Lukla) and knows everyone that lives up and around the trail. Madan took good care of us and also became one of our friends on the way up, although he was our guide it felt like we've known each other for ever. he's such a loving and caring person who always make's sure everyone is safe and feeling good. he's fluent in english and we thought him how to properly poor a beer. I recommend Madan to be your guide, i can guarantee you you will not regret it, he made this trip unforgettable. thank you Madan!!!

Madam was an excellent guide. I hiked with my husband and he was supportive and more than that, reliable and patient. I had health problems during the trail and his skills were essential for a good finish. Even after the trail continued to help us with what we need. I highly recommend it and if I go back to the Himalayas, Madam would definitely be the guide of choice again.

I made the EBC trekking with my wife. We found out, the hard way, that the magic that turns dreams into reality doesn't have the Glamor of Walt Disney, nor is it just a matter of wanting it, as the thousands of trainers out there say. It is a path paved with our time, suffering, dedication and a lot of abdication. This has been our toughest journey yet! Had it not been for Madan's knowledge and professionalism, we might not have made it! He knows the trail very well, all the towns along the way, and is very articulate; he managed everything: from medicine to organizing a birthday party in Namche, for my wife. Very professional, competent, dedicated and, why not, a good friend. Highly recommended!

EBC & Three passes trek A group of 4 including myself just recently returned from a 15 day trek with Madan as our guide in the Khumbu Region. To be begin our trip we flew from Ramechhap to Lukla where Madam patiently awaited our arrival which happened to be running 4-5 hours late of the original departure time. Greeting us with a warm smile and enthusiastic attitude, we knew straight off the bat that our trip was going to fantastic and we couldn't have been more correct. Madam not only walked us through the entirety of our trip itinerary but also happily adjusted it to hit some key points of interest of our own along the way. Madam also knows the trails/towns like the back of his hand as well as majority of people who reside within them. He is able and willing to provide help in many ways possible across the stretch and is very happy to do so. Madam knows the health and fitness of his clients well including early signs of altitude ready to offer his support even if simply walking alongside you to set the pace. As an individual, he is respectful, friendly and has a great attitude overall not only towards you but everyone else sharing the space of the mountains. Absolute legend! Thank you so much Madam :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently completed EBC + all 3 high passes with 3 friends and our guide Madan. Where to begin.. His prompt and efficiency of information relayed prior to meeting him was exceptional and his written English is fantastic since studying at school when he was younger. Madan met us at Lukla airport where he was born and raised and instantly formed a strong connection. The next 15 days was truly a REMARKABLE experience having Madan by our side the whole way. His warm, friendly personality played a huge part in our enjoyment of the trek as well as providing important information regarding both altitude sickness tips and general mountain information. Having been raised locally his knowledge was extensive! A friendly handshake to almost everyone we walked past, Madan has strong connections at every tea house location we went too. Madan soon became a really close friend and it felt like 5 friends treking instead of 4 and a guide. I can’t thank Madan enough for the level of professionalism he provided and if you’re thinking of doing the same or similar I can not recommend him more highly!! Well done Madan amazing work keep on going!! See you in 4 years for island peak summit!!

We can’t thank Madan enough for the absolutely wonderful experience we had hiking EBC and the Three Passes Trek. Right from the start Madan was extremely helpful and advised well for our trek itinerary. We chose a 16 day trek to EBC which included doing the Three Passes in a clockwise direction. This is generally the harder way to do it as there is steeper climbs, but as you come over the passes the views are unbeatable. Madan was a pleasure to have for the trek, his English is exceptional and he’s always willing to help wherever he can. As he’s been trekking these mountains for more than 10 years, he knows almost everyone along the way. At EBC, Madan took us further into the campsites to have tea with his close friend who had summited Everest 13 times and K2 twice. The experience was truly unmatched and we only have Madan to thank for it. Madan’s guide reviews truly stand for themselves, he’s a wonderful guide with a joyful and warm personality! He will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. Thank you so much for the experiences we shared! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly recomend hiring Madan as your guide! I did the EBC-trek with him in March 2023 and as a female, solo traveller I felt very comfortable doing the trek with Madan. He’s a great guy, very considerate, respectful and kind. He’s talkative and funny but at the same time very nice just to walk in silence with. He knows so many people along the trek and brought me to really nice tea houses, and gave me good instructions to help me avoid getting altitude sickness. He also know these mountains by heart. Very happy I did the trek with him!

Did the EBC trek with Madan. What an adventure. Madan is one of them Gems of a guide. He is fluent in english, knows everything and everywhere… and also everyone as well! TRUST HIS ADVICES. He knows when and how to control the pace. Very considerate and polite all the time, to everybody. That gave so much positive vibe during the trek. He was more of a friend than a guide :) One of the best guides if not the best.

Madan is the best guide we could wish for when trekking the EBC. He was constantly in touch with me prior to us arriving in Nepal which gave us reassurance of his professionalism. He exceeded our expectation during the trek. He speaks very good english, gave us good advice for our itinerary, shared a lot of his knowledge when we came across monuments etc. He also helped us a lot when we fell sick and was constantly checking on us. It was also really nice to see him help around in the tea houses during meal time even if it’s not his job. It shows how kind and helpful he is. Thanks Madan for making us live our best experience in the Everest region! We were so lucky to have you as a guide and we made a new friend when sharing these special moments with you.

Madan was an amazing guide and person. We hired Madan for the EBC trek and he made our experience the best it could possibly be! His knowledge and communication were outstanding. He is a fun person to be around on the trek and in the tea houses always smiling and joking. He set a very good pace during the trek especially when ascending at altitude and he regularly checked to make sure we were feeling okay. If you’re looking to do the EBC trek look no further than Madan for your guide you will not be disappointed. 10/10 thanks for everything Madan.

STOP SCROLLING! Read me! 😄 Hello! Thanks, for reading this, You will not regret! MADAN IS AMAZING! From the very first day, we have felt trust feeling with him, and through all the trip it was just growing! First of all, he informed us about all the trip, managed our flights (trip was on september, pre-season, so flights was a really huge problem, but not for Madan!), helped us changing our money at really good exchange rate at 3500m, told us where we can find a really goood quality food in Namche, even according to our capabilities and desires - he modified our trip ending and we were able to save one extra day! He is really great Guide! Believe me! One day, when I will came back to Himalayas - no doubts, I call Madan! So, if You have decided going with Madan, do not forget to take playing cards! Nepalese knows how to play dhumbal, and Madan really likes it! We have learned how to play it, and that was one of the best parts of the trip, playing together with locals! Good luck! And Best Wishes to Madan, Hope Well meet one day again!

Madan is a great guide! Really enjoyed my time trekking the EBC with him and some other guides & porters. He was kind and knowledgable about the Himalayas. I really appreciated that he was so hepful towards the end of the trek, as my friends and I were super drained already. Madan is also flexible to spend more relaxed and fun time after each daily trekking. I do recommend him to be the guide for your next trip to the Himalayas! Take care, Madan and until we meet again sometime.

That was one hell of a trip to Nepal and Madan made it into a fun one. Madan was very professional, he set the pace for us to walk comfortably to our destination. Along the way, he showed us how to be respectful to the culture such as going around the prayer rocks and turning the prayer wheels. He checked on us regularly when he saw that we needed help. Madan goes above and beyond for us by helping us with packing away our sleeping bags and make sure the toilets are clean for our use. Madan’s personality came out a couple of days after. He’s a charming and witty guy. His sense of humour helped us go through our long hard treks. I remember it was the day for our EBC trek when one of our friends suffered AMS and he had to go and helped her. He was definitely missed by us because he surprised us at the basecamp along with out friend and we felt a huge sense of relieved. 10/10 would definitely go trek with Madan again! PS: Nakali Didi misses you.

Madan is very experienced and patient guide. He knows every nook and cranny about Himalayan and the trek in EBC. He knows local people there (and also he's famous there) and his can-do attitude served me and my friends very well. He also took a very good care of us, especially for some of us who went sick. He's also a fun friend to party with :)) So, if you want to get a whole package of fun and amazing trek, definitely you should go with Madan.

Madan is a knowledgeable porter. He helped me in both EBC and Gokyo trek hotel , trek geography planning. Besides that Madan knows the path and weather well including all the significant mountains and high peaks conditions I have gained alot of knowledge and information about Nepalese culture and food through his introduction and clear explanation. Besides that Madan converse fluently in English which helps alot for daily conversations. Madan is a populr guide in EBC and Gokyo. Do not miss this opportunity to grab him for a wonderful trip in the Himalayas

Madan is theeee best guide ever!!! He is super nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. When we asked him for something, he would go the extra length to help in anyway he can. He is very knowledgeable about the local region. His English is very good and he is funny and fun to hangout with. He made the whole EBC and Chola Pass trek very memorable and enjoyable for our group. He is a good friend now. We will definitely look for him if we ever go back to Nepal :)

Madan not only a guide for us but also was a friend to me on my trek to Everest base camp.l've got AMS and he taking care of me like he takinh care his sister. Through the trek, I emerged as a stronger & safer trekker. He helped me understand my limits & the terrains. He was always patient, always smiling, always checking in on me. Even after we came down and during the stay at Lukla they took care of us like their own friends, The hardest thing for us to do was to say good bye. I'm truly grateful to him for his guidance & friendship. Whenever I go back to Nepal for a trek, I'm definitely booking him!

I'm proud to share my Gokyo trek with Madan. Next to him, we feel dynamic, happy and protected. 12 days in 2018 to go to Gokyo RI with 12 friends.

It was extraordinarily experience to be guided by Madan. I made a three passes trek and EBC and surprisingly had a lockdown in Nepal. He helped me with all the stuffs and the documents to leave the country. This is a gold man. Recommend to everyone.

Madan was our guide in 2020 (winter), as we trekked up to EBC. He was extremely knowledgeable about the mountains and the wilderness and was a lively presence as the hard climbing days went by. He is also very well connected with the various people that run the tea houses and live in the cities through the trek, making our journey smooth and ensuring that nothing was ever lacking. During the time we spent together, he became a true friend and we will not hesitate to work with him again and spend our free time together when we are next in Nepal. Highly highly recommended.

In 2017 we were so lucky what we got Madan as our private tour guide. We did the Everest Base Camp - Cho la pass - Gokyo Ri trek and that was a great experience! Madan has so much knowledge about the mountains, people and nature in the region and he was very helpful in all kind of ways. He helped us through the tough days and it was because of him we had such a menmorable trek. We would definitely recommend Madan to all who consider a trek in Himalaya! Hope we will back again in the future :) Line & Jacob (Denmark)

Madan was one of my porters when I was in Nepal a couple of years ago and he made the trip far more memorable than it would have been otherwise. He was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, speaks English really well, has a fantastic personality, and was very generous - including buying my friend a present for his birthday. Madan is someone I would highly recommend to anyone looking at trekking in Nepal and, without a doubt, would be the first person I would contact if I were to return.

Madan was everything I could ask in a guide. He's knowledgable, fun to trek with, and was extremely helpful. I had a small eye injury and he took care of me all the way. My EBC trek would not have been this awesome if it was not because of him.

Madan was a friend to me on my trek to Everest base camp. He understood that I wasn't an avid trekker and hence helped me all the way like a friend - pushing me when I wanted to give up, telling me interesting local stories to keep my spirits up, walking 3 steps ahead of me always to show me the safest & easiest way through the moraine & difficult terrain. All this without making himself a crutch for me... Through the trek, I emerged as a stronger & safer trekker. He helped me understand my limits & the terrains. He was always patient, always smiling, always checking in on me. I'm truly grateful to him for his guidance & friendship. Whenever I go back to Nepal for a trek, I'm definitely booking him!

Madan is a very well organised guide, nothing was ever to much or to hard, a great can do attitude. He is also born in the Lukla region and has a wealth of knowledge with a great sense of humour. We regard Madam more of a friend than a guide and hope to be back very soon.

My mate Emily and I had Madan as our guide for our trek to Everest Base Camp and Cho La Pass, Goyko lakes trek. I felt very comfortable with Madan, his communication with us about everything was great as his English was great. He had a good sense of humor and quickly adapted to our aussie- humor and banter. In fact I now consider him more as a friend than a guide. He has a huge knowledge of the Everest region and I look forward to returning and trekking again with Madan one day.

Madan is an absolutely brilliant bloke, had an answer for every question I had and always with a smile. Can't recommend him enough, you beauty.

Madan was one of the tour guides that was looking after us during our trek to Base Camp Everest. Me and my friend branched off from the group to do Cho La Pass and Gokio Ri with Madan! He was alot of fun and had alot of time and patience which made the trip flow nicely! We had some harsh weather and alot of tour groups had to come tohether for safety. He took charge when the snow covered the trail and got us all through the storm safely. He showed alot more initiative and knowledge of the land then others which was extremely reassuring. Thanks Bhai!
