Purna was our guide during our 14 day trek to Mt. Everest base camp in Oct 2015. He is one of the best guides you can have for this adventure. He was knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and just fun! He was extremely helpful when my brother got sick along the way and knew exactly what to do to make sure he was ok. He was extremely patient with my mom, staying with her as she walked slower than the main group, providing a hand, shoulder, and smile when she needed it. In the end we all made it to base camp and had a wonderful time doing it. Purna's expertise and sense of humor played a big role in making this the best experience of my life. You are truly in good hands with him.
