Friend you are my eye to Nepal. Even though I belong to this country. Never had view of my nation.
You are fueling my drive to get into serving more good people who want to come to Nepal. Thank you very very much. Please I would love to mail you.
Tabatha,
Really stunning pictures indeed… I stumbled upon your trip while doing a routine search online as the name of our operations expert and guide Paljyor stood out! Checked it and Paljyor remembers meeting up with you on one of his treks.
How interesting to see a recommendation of one of our guides and stumbling upon it randomly…
Do you mind if I link up this photoessay to my blog @ http://socialtours.blogspot.com and also to our website @ http://www.socialtours.com

Hi Raj,
I’d be delighted if you used the link! I’m glad you like the photos. Tell Paljyor I say “Hello!”.
Cheers,

I highly recommend our guide Kabiraj for any adventures you undertaken in the mountains of Nepal. Kabiraj did everything to make our 10 day trek in the langtang vally trek one of those lifetime experiences. Kabiraj is incredibly knowledgeable of the surroundings, customs and heritage that we trekked through allowing us ever moment to engage and enjoy the mountains and people we were surrounded by. Fluent in English, kind and generous, Kabiraj was a real pleasure to be in the company of, making a lasting trust and spirit between us before even setting off. On route he even insured that at ever guest house we had the best view, best apple pie and ultimately a trek never to forget. Thank you so, and we will hope to see you again in the future.
