Recently I was traveling to Nepal on my own. So it was very important to me to find a good guide – especially after hearing all these stories about bad experience with guides (i know that are more the exceptions but if you are unlucky it can destroy your holidays). A friend of mine recommended Chhatra Karki and it was a good recommendation. During my 14-days trek I was really pleased to walk with him cause he is a very interesting and open-minded person. I was surprised how good his English is. Because he is a freelancer-guide the price is fair. Trekking alone to Nepal is really a good experience. You get in touch with way more people then trekking in a group.

Chhatra was very clear on what was included in the program so there was no confusion and he even picked me up at the airport and dropped me off when I left. Chhatra runs a very thorough and intelligent company, plus he was a guide himself, so he understands the other side of trekking, so you end up with a company owner who understands the intricacies of all sides of this business. Chhatra found another person to help drop the costs on my end and quickly set up a porter to help the woman with her bag. Our guide, Jiba, was very experienced and knowledgeable. The accommodation was nice and the food was good and plentiful. Whenever

I come back with the intention of using a guide, I will contact Chhatra only. I fell in love with Nepal on my trip and for good reason. Before I even left, I was trying to figure out what my next Nepal adventure would look like.
