Ram and his crew organized and guided an amazing 3-day walk to Poon Hill last September for me and my girlfriend, first time trekker. He was always patient, friendly and supportive. I'd definitely recommend Ram to take care of any trekking experience in Nepal.

Poon Hill Trekking
29th March, 2018
When I was in Nepal I did a five day trekking-tour to the Poon Hill. The nice tour with amazing views was guided by Dev Lama. He is a well-trained guide with a lot of knowledge of the Nepali culture, the nepali flora and fauna and is always happy to share his knowledge with his guests. He is a good english speaker so it was not a problem to have nice conversations with him.
Dev always tried to make us feel as comfortable as possible. In the evenings we sit together and had dinner, played cards or where just talking and enjoying our time. Even after our tour Dev took care after us. One of my friends became sick and Dev did not hesitate to help us finding a hospital. He also helped us talking to the doctor whos english was not so good.
If I have the possibility to visit Nepal again I will definitely contact Dev as my guide again!

Unique Experience. You cannot get closer to Nepalese
1st September, 2019
We had an amazing time in Nepal. Ram, who started with us as a guide and ended as a friend, made everything possible and showed us cultural as well as natural highlights. We would never experience those feelings without a friend like him. Thanks again! We will definitely come back.
Regardless of whether you are looking for amazing hiking trips, safari, or cultural experiences Ram will make your wish come true.
Thanks Ram!

Dev Lama's POON HILL TREK aka
4th April, 2018
Dev was an amazing guide and has become a great friend. I was in Kathmandu when the Earthquakes of April 2015 occurred and he not only kept us safe, but he made the trip enjoyable even when it was a scary time. Along the way, he made sure we went to both touristy and local places, he found the most authentic food and drinks for us to try which were amazingly tasty, and to top it off he taught us traditional card games that we all still play with our families! He was also a great hiking guide, he maneuvered the schedule to avoid dangerous areas, but made sure we still saw amazing sights. He read our group quickly and new what we wanted to see, what rocks we wanted to climb, and would let us know whenever we were near something cool! He was also very considerate and would watch for our cue that we were tiring out to take breaks without us even having to ask. He is a very gentle and fun man, excited by the beauty the world has to offer and happy to share this with everyone he comes across! I have recommended him whole heartedly to my friends and family whenever they have gone to Nepal and I recommend him to you as well!
