In November I completed the Three High Passes trek with Ram. It took us 22 days with additional side trips. It was my first visit to Nepal and I was looking for reliable, experienced guide. Ram was a true professional and I would highly recommend him. He shared many facts about the area and local culture, and answered all my questions. He also helped to organise flights and arrange lodges which removed all the unnecessary stress. His experience made my trip much more enjoyable. Thank you Ram.
What sets Ram apart is his easygoing and customer-driven approach. He is always present and attentive without ever being intrusive. Ram’s style is quiet and friendly, but he’s also consistently observant, making sure everyone is comfortable and safe throughout the trek.
Logistics, safety, and planning were all handled seamlessly. Ram is a great source of local knowledge and always keeps himself updated with the latest information from locals along the route. This meant that we always felt secure and well-prepared, no matter the circumstances.
Cultural insights and local knowledge were always available. Ram is happy to answer any questions and share his deep understanding of the region, but he never overwhelms you with information unless you ask. This made the experience feel very personal and tailored to our interests.
Himalayan Friendly’s support was excellent from start to finish. Permits and paperwork were handled efficiently, so I never had to worry about the details and could focus on enjoying the trek.
Accommodations and food were consistently good. Ram has a great eye for choosing the right teahouses, ensuring we were always comfortable and well-fed.
Would I recommend Himalayan Friendly and Ram? Absolutely-100%. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, considerate, and reliable guide, Ram and the Himalayan Friendly team are the perfect choice. I look forward to trekking with them again!
