Amazing Trekking Experience

Namaste!!!! A group of 4 of us joined the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek in April 2014 which gave us a totally different and amazing trekking experience. We started our trek with anxiety and insecurity, worried about not being able to finish the trek or the most scary altitude sickness. Thank God that we have engaged with the team Himalaya who has made our trek so memorable and successful. Ganesh is a very experienced guide who is caring, helpful, friendly, and responsible. He explained all the details that we needed to know before we started the trek, prepared us with the best way to avoid altitude sickness (even ready with medicine if in need), continuous encouragement whenever we were exhausted and felt like giving up, and even there’s one time my hand accidentally touched a plant with thorns and swallowed, he quickly got me some kind of leaves for curing, and it WORKED!

4 of us enjoyed our trek along the way with superb fascinating scenery and nature. 2 of our cute and nice potters who carried our 60kg of luggage were always ahead of us. We can be trekking under the sun, in rain and hail within a day, and what a great experience to make us a stronger person.

I remember when we were approaching the 2nd last stop of ABC (Machhapuchchhre Base Camp), it was snowing so heavily that we couldn’t even see the trek in front. I was dragging my extremely tired and cold body to the next stop while Ganesh was rushing up to take care of me, guided me to the stop then rushed down again to accompany my other friends. He really gave us his best which we appreciated very much!

There’s one time we passed by the avalanche area and heard the sound of it coming. Ganesh with his great trekking experience guided us through safe and sound. While we came down from ABC, the snowy melting trek made it very slippery. Ganesh was the one who used his hands and sticks to “make” stairs in the snowy mountain for my friend who almost fell down the way to trek down safe and steady.. and I know she was so touched!!

There’s another enjoyment when trekking with team Himalaya.. that’s delicious and “eat all your can” meals which we were looking forward to every hour!! We learned the Nepalese song from our guide and potters and played games with them after a day trek!

In short, this trek was superb and we were blessed to have engaged the right company for a very successful trek in life!! Thank you very much!

Annapurna Circuit and Langtang with Ganesh as my guide

I have been very lucky to have trekked both the Annapurna Circuit and Langtang with Ganesh as my guide and we have become good friends. He is always very careful to make sure you are healthy and well-fed every day whilst trekking and any problems or concerns you may have, he sorts out immediately.

I can’t wait to get back in the mountains trekking with him!

Great Annapurna Base Camp Trek

I and my wife met with Shyam Sitaula in the 2008 year at our common first trek to Annapurna Base Camp. He was not only our guide, but our hospitality and friendly guardian from early wake–up to late evening. After 8 years of our connection, we can say that he is to become our perfect trekking guide and (it is important) our great friend. During this time we made 3 common trekkings from 10 days to nearly 5 weeks trek  ( ABC, EBC with Gokyo, classic Annapurna Circuit  – all based on our own plans ). We made with him also another trip to Nepal after trekking. Always all things were excellent organized and all the time we were in safe hands. But the great additional value to our trekking was his friendly care in each moment of trekking and our long afternoon talks. We think that his new trekking business will be perfectly made and our next trekking in 2016 we prepare and make with Shyam Sitaula and his agency.

vacation in Nepal

The decision to spend our vacation in Nepal was actually pretty easy. For me, it was the fifth time to climbed the summit of a mountain in Nepal. The Trek to Gokyo RI wasn’t the longest but it was one of the most beautiful and amazing experiences I wouldn’t miss. The Country, the people, the landscape, and the way of life they have is impressive. It wasn’t for sure not the last time I was there. Raj showed us his place, introduced us to his family and friends and all the time he was a good guide and a good friend who took care of us. Laudable was the good preparation for the tour, the knowledge about the country, and the caring efforts to fulfill all our desires.Thanks, Raj for the great time we had. Hopefully, we will see us again soon (-:

Very Knowledgeable Guide

My son Nick and I spent 7 days trekking with Raj. He is very knowledgeable about the mountains and local culture. I had a tendency to try to go too hard and fast and wear myself out. Raj was a tremendous help to me by walking in front of me and slowing my pace even though I could tell it was an awkwardly slow pace for him. Raj also helped us when we had to make changes to our flights and helped us tour the city. We had a once-in-a-lifetime incredible experience in Nepal!

Hike to the Everest Base Camp

I was on day 6 of a 12-day hike to the Everest Base Camp. At 4600mt/15000ft, a day and a half and 700mt away from the final destination, a massive earthquake of 8.2 magnitude struck killing over 9000 people. Shyam’s ( our guide a.k.a our rockstars) happy smiling face and words of encouragement kept us safe and motivated to walk down to safety and back home. There is so much I learned from him and the Nepalese. I can’t wait to go back to the Himalayas and its people.

While Nepal is rebuilding and the trails have reopened, Shyam Situala has started his own trekking company. A good business owner starts building when the markets are down.

I highly recommend Sitaula Shyam and his new company Team Himalaya
