So, that’s me in some of the pictures. I gave permission to Gautam to use some of our trip pictures — I’m not hired, and I almost never leave reviews. I am a lifelong traveler and trekker with the means and experience to differentiate between the local guides which present an expensive hazard…and which facilitate an opportunity. Based on our personal pre-wedding trip experience, I give an unreserved 5 stars here.
Gautam is a consummate professional, and his company operates competently at a world-class level.
If you are reading this, it is no longer secret knowledge: you already know where and why you must travel perhaps 1000’s of KM to trek here. The natural virtues of Nepal require no further endorsement, and retrospective descriptions give it no justice.
Taste from the waterfalls, push your body and mind higher and feel the mountains underfoot. This is life, and it is excellent on this trek.
Gautam’s group will guide you through this beautiful and rugged journey with confidence, insight, and security. I was impressed with our guide’s knowledge, accumen, capability, local connection, and emphasis on safety.
There are many “X-factors” that can emerge in hiring a local guide or tour company, and not all Nepalese tour groups are equal. Some are damn traps. We have experienced, and seen, other guide experiences in Nepal with dismal shortcomings, particularly in areas of comfort, competence, and safety. Others can be on the same trail, and have a very different experience– it all comes down to the capability of the company chosen.
Gautam is a man that has earned my trust and respect, and I am confident that Gautam’s is the best company you can hire. From top to bottom, his company deserves your consideration and business, and I am confident that he will ensure a rewarding experience that meets your goals for experiencing this glorious part of our world.
One of the best trekking in my life. It was fabulous…….
I have contacted Mr. Gautam to inquire about the Everest Trek and i love to do Photography. then from the first contact he was very kind, clear and incredibly helpful he was the amazing person ever i met. then we ended up using Gautam’s services as per his advice to book a guide and permits and the entire process was flawless.
My friend and I had so much fun with our incredibly knowledgeable guide Nick. He could be calm, full of local knowledge about the environment and at the same time we feel like we made a friend that we could have a drink with and laugh. Nick would always make sure we were okay, happy, feel comfortable and we could ask him anything.
We will always be thankful to Nick and Gautam for everything they have done for us and hope to be back in Nepal soon so we can do our next trek with them! from OVERLAND TREK NEPAL and recommended from my deep heart
