This alone will make your experience on any trek with him once in a lifetime (I did the Manaslu Circuit Trek with him, and it was incredible). Beyond that, he has been leading Himalayan treks for 15+ years and is an extremely knowledgeable guide. He is also just a highly trustworthy person and great friend. He cared so much about every detail of the trip and has the unbounding optimism you need to motivate you over 5000m passes :). Cannot recommend him highly enough and will certainly select him as my guide if I return to Nepal and recommend him to my friends/families. I have memories from our trip that I will cherish for a lifetime.
