Rachel – Thailand

Our guide, Tanka, was amazing from start to finish. We were a group of 3 with mixed fitness, and he made sure everyone was comfortable throughout. He was very knowledgeable and shared information about the trek and Nepali culture, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was well organised and he made sure we had comfortable accommodation with hot showers at the end of each day. I would 100% recommend him to those looking for a guide and I hope to do another trek with him again in the future!

Reba – Australia

Tanka was an exceptional guide - he made our trip very special, was very accommodating and was an absolute pleasure to spend 4 days with. We cannot speak more highly of him. The tour itself was great, the scenery spectacular (even though the visibility was poor this week) and Tanka was fantastic at outlining what to expect and providing us with information. Anyone would be lucky to complete this tour with him!
