Lovely companionship in Jomsom
1st April, 2017
Dev and I met in Jomsom in Kali Gandaki valley, when I was on my solo-trek there. We came to sit in a tiny restaurant/bar as it started to rain heavily outside. So we started chatting and enjoyed tea after tea. Dev is a really experienced guide and kind person. In the evening we met again for dinner together with his trekking group. It was such a funny, lovely evening together and the girls and guys kept on raving about how lucky they were with Dev as a guide, he couldn't have made any better choice :) I really enjoyed the sympathetic companionship that evening and valued the talk with Dev a lot who explained me about Nepal, its mountains, and culture.

Annapurna Runde - eine unvergessliche Trekking-Tour mit Dev und Raaj
21st March, 2018
Da man seinen Führer und den Träger bei der Tour fast rund um die Uhr um sich hat, ist es wichtig, dass sie menschlich gut zu einem passen. Aufdringliche und höchst redselige Führer können das Naturerlebnis schnell zerstören.
Mit Dev und Raaj hatten wir viel Glück. Von Dev kann man sehr viele Hintergründe über das Land Nepal, den Kasten und seinem Leben erfahren und gelangt auf einfachem Weg definitiv an Informationen, die einem ohne engeren Kontakt vorenthalten bleiben würden. Unser Träger Raaj war sehr gut, man wusste ihn in unserer Nähe, sah ihn ab und zu und hatte sein Gepäck immer rechtzeitig an den Unterkünften.
Eine weitere Nepal-Tour wird immer mit einem Kontakt von Dev und Raaj starten.Wir danken Dev und Raaj von ganzem Herzen für Ihre Arbeit und können uns jeder positiven Empfehlung für die Beiden anschließen.

A highlight
30th March, 2018
I really loved my time trekking in Nepal. The mountains are amazing :) We did the Annapurna Circuit, which I would recommend if you have enough time ;)
Ram is a really nice guide, who loves the mountains. He has a lot of experience in the mountains. And you can have a lot of fun with him :-) We felt safe during our trip! So if you are still looking for another great experience in Nepal, just go for it! It was definitely the highlight of our time in this amazing country
