This is my first attempt at trekking In Nepal and being a city person by nature, I am fortunate to engage the services from Mr. Babu Karki who is the Managing Director of Adventure Great Himalaya. Throughout the five months prior to my trip in November, Mr. Babu has been responsive to my queries, all the while reassuring me that the Ghorepani-Poonhill trek is doable for me.
I believe Mr. Babu has sent me his best guide, Santosh, to make my trip more manageable and enjoyable. I am thankful to have a responsible and patient guide as he is. I am Santosh’s new record as the slowest trekker in all his seven years as a guide. So it goes to show how bad I am at trekking and how patient he was.
My services from Mr. Babu also include a private car service from Kathmandu to Pokhara and return. Again, I am pleased to have a responsible and reliable driver. The stories on “terrible” road conditions did not really apply to me because Naba drove carefully to get me safely from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back. I also made a last minute decision to engage Naba, through Mr. Babu, as my driver for a day instead of going through the hassle of using multiple cab drivers to visit places of interests in Kathmandu city.
Last but not least, Mr. Babu gave me a good first impression. A smart businessman he is, Mr. Babu also genuinely displays care and concern on the well-being of all his clients.
