I had the pleasure of meeting Satya in 2014 when I first visited Nepal. Our group trekked the Annapurna Discovery Route. Satya was not only professional but compassionate & personable. He was always supportive & encouraging to each member of the group. I remember one day when I was struggling to keep up with the group. Satya stayed with me at the back of the group and talked to me to help distract me just enough to keep me going. I don’t know if any of us fully appreciate all that Satya and his colleagues had to endure to ensure our safety and enjoyment but his dedication & commitment to excellence stays with me to this day. He’s an intelligent, hardworking, and empathetic professional and employee. And I am honored to be able to call him my friend.
