I always remember you and your father. It was my first trip to Nepal and Himalaya. You were so helpful on the trip around Annapurna. I wish to see you again and your nice country, but I am now eighty years old and so there is less hope. I wish you all the best.

In November 2014 we had a perfect trekking around Manaslu! We booked the tour with Asian Expedition www.adventuremountains.com. Before we traveled to Nepal, the contact with our guide was very good and he answered all of our questions. Everything was perfectly organized thanks to our guide. After a few days of sightseeing in Kathmandu, the trekking begun. Our group consisted of 4 people plus quiet and two porters. Two weeks on foot from village to village through wonderful nature with nice weather. The lodges where we slept in, during the trekking, were nice, clean and comfortable. They offered a big menu for food in every lodge. Pancakes, omelette, bread, etc. in the morning, followed by different varieties of noodles, potatoes and rice for the rest of the day. Not to forget warming hot chocolate in the evening. During the trekking we were crossing a lot of hanging bridges, walking next to a nice blue river and enjoying the view on the 8.100 meters high mountains. After two weeks of trekking our journey went to Pokhara and Landruk. Pokhara is a very nice city lying directly by a big lake. Landruk, a little village, is worth visiting too – great view on Annapurna and Machhapuchhre. Our guide and porters became really good friends to us. A big THANK YOU to Tej and his team!!!

Namaste Tej, Kharka and Bishu! We came back in France full of wonderful memories. So much actually that it became necessary to have another trip to Nepal ! Kharka and Bishu as guide and porter were perfect. Kharka has a very good knowledge of the country and especially of Langtang Valley. Everybody in the villages we went knows him ! In France we say "connu comme le loup blanc" (known like the white wolf). While on the trek, we had the chance to share things that we couldn’t have appreciated without them but only read or guess or feel about history, culture, language. So thank you and I hope to see you soon ! A bientôt! Thibaud & Lorianne France

Dear Tej, Thanks for your Nepal Annapurna trek guiding. We arrived on Saturday Evening at 9.p.m in Kassel and had a nice Evening together with Tom’s wife and my family.After the very nice and impressing holidays we were glad to see us again. The trip to Annapurna base camp was very impressing and I enjoyed the journey very, very much. It was one of the best journeys or perhaps the best I ever made. To have Tej as guide was great for our group, we all enjoyed it very much. When I can return to Nepal with my family at any time, I would like to do the trip with Tej again and with no one else. On Sunday we had a nice autumn walk with Tom, his wife another friend at 25 degrees. Now I yam at work again, school started today and my thoughts are often in Nepal. The Last days I worked a lot at the computer with the many pictures, a lot of nice impressions! My family like the mandalas and we will find a good place at our house to show and Look at it. Thank you for the fantastic holidays I could spend with you! With the best wishes for you and your family, Christoph Pagel Kassel, Germany

Namaste Tej ! Very nice to hear from you. Yes, we are back at work again, but keeping very nice thoughts of Nepal, its landscape and people. Time is running very fast – it’s already more than one month since we’ve been on Island Peak. And now we have almost the same temperature here in Germany as one Island Peak (-2°C). We visited Peter some days after we returned and drank a glass of wine with him while accounting of the wonderful and well-organized trek in Nepal. Attached I send you Peter’s Newsletter with a picture of us. Also I send you some more pictures of the trip. In total we took 1700 ! We also read in Internet of the problems at Lukla. We were really lucky with the weather. We got the climbing certificates. Thanks again for the wonderful trip, the kind welcome and the good explanations of culture and nature. We really enjoyed that trek. Sincerely yours, Dietrich & Nicole, Germany

Je vous écris du Népal pour vous recommander un guide de trek: Tej. Je voyage avec mon amie pour 6 mois en Asie et notre première étape, le Népal, s’est agrémentée d’un trek du tour des Annapurnas. Nous avons cherché un guide pendant 15 jours environ à l’aide du routard, du lonely et de recommandations d’amis ayant déjà trekké ici. Ces derniers nous ont orientés vers Tej que nous avons contacté. Contrairement aux autres que nous avons rencontrés, il nous a donné directement le bon prix ( vous pouvez m’écrire pour plus d’infos là-dessus). Comme nous avons un budget bien réglé et qu’il nous avait été recommandé par des amis, nous l’avons choisi. Quelle bonne idée nous avons eue là! Il a été incroyable de gentillesse, de professionnalisme, d’honnêteté. Toujours attentionné, il a veillé sur nous tout en nous laissant la liberté que nous voulions durant le trek. Fils de guide (il a la trentaine), il parcourt les montagnes népalaises depuis 15 ans maintenant (annapurnas, tibet, Langtang, etc…). Il connait ces espaces comme sa poche et c’est un vrai plaisir d’apprendre le nom des fleurs, animaux et montagnes en Népali et en Anglais (qu’il parle mieux que nous d’ailleurs…Fou). Il possède naturellement les accréditations nécessaires (licence) mais surtout a une connaissance importante des coutumes, traditions et particularités du Népal ce qui est très appréciable quand on cherche à découvrir le pays. «
