Sharan - his familiar, looked after my wife and I over a ten day visit to his country. He was punctual, attentive to our questions and need to understand rather than just visit at a superficial level. We made a friendship rather than having a guide, this certainly made for a great relationship and a very meaningful time. We were able to be flexible and move into a local arena of living, eating and exploring, there were no discernible boundaries constraining our movements. In short a truly excellent companion.
