Summary:
This was my first time in Nepal and I had always wanted to hike ABC. I joined the MMT&E solo trip. My guide, Ram, was very professional and experienced. He gave me a lot of information on the mountain and arranged all the food and accommodation. I could then enjoy the trip with peace of mind.

Summary:
My guide,Ram, was truly exceptional — professional, kind, and approachable throughout the entire trek. The day I met Ram, his first words were: “I want you to speak to me sincerely from the heart, because I will do the same with you.”
And his eyes reflected true nobility. From the very first day, he understood my needs perfectly and adapted to my rhythm with constant dedication and care. He worked tirelessly to meet my expectations and made every day of the journey special, I will never forget the Sukuti house. He’s well connected up there in the mountains and that gives him an big edge over a tourist solo trecker. Beyond his professionalism, it was his human quality that made the experience stand out. I felt that I wasn’t just walking with a guide, but with a friend who shared this unforgettable adventure with me.
I would also like to thank Dolak, the owner of the company, for his kindness, patience, and attention — and even more for his honesty and efficiency in organizing a private trekking tour with a guide from one day to the next, without prior notice. He advised me at all times about my options and made everything easy.
An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.
