After trawling online forums (including here) for recommendations and requesting recommendations from family and friends back home who do have some experience we posted out requests for information to 3 or 4 of the most promising reviewed individual guides, this included Sanjib Adhikari responded promptly with the most comprehensive and detailed response we received with a background of our kit requirements (Clothes, Equipments and First Aid recommendations), route to be taken what was or was not included in terms of food and accommodation and transport details. We requested some small changes to our itinerary (walking an extra section instead of taking a bus). Sanjib was quite flexible and proposed an alternate plan that did what we wanted. He also highlighted from the beginning that as we had chosen this route in the winter that it may not be possible to complete and that whilst the high pass en route (Thoroung La) was open at the time that if snow fell during our ascent there was some risk that the pass may be closed. During the trek we both found Sanjib to have plenty of experience and familiarity with both the trail conditions and route and had particular preferred Tea Houses in each town. However when these Tea Houses were not available due to closure off season, alternatives were always found and we certainly felt we were staying in good accommodation whilst there was a choice of it lower down. Sanjib consulted us where there were options to press on if we were making good progress or if we felt we needed to stop earlier than planned for a break and he was vigilant with our altitude conditioning on the higher trail. He also outlined the plan for the next day with options depending on progress and each day over 3500 tell. I would certainly choose Sanjib again for a trek in Nepal and I would recommend that you add him to any list of initial enquiries for a Nepal Trek to compare the responses and prices with others.<br />Email-:sanjib-adhikari@hotmail.com<br />Website http://www.nepalguideinfo.com<br />Mobile+9779841613822<br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Independenttrekkinguidenepal?fref=ts<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789157537287874381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-24105190792382371432014-02-26T02:46:36.974-05:002014-02-26T02:46:36.974-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-32442449411098008472014-01-25T20:27:59.063-05:002014-01-25T20:27:59.063-05:00are those locally owned mom and pop stores?
