Arjun shoed all the qualities I could ask for in a guide for this region. He always kept to time, planned exciting treks, but ones that showed an awareness of my needs (as a partially-sighted  traveller) , interests - and energy levels! He has a responsible approach to trekking, respecting nature and the environment. I found him very well-informed and informative, both about the immediate surroundings and Nepal as a whole: a fluent and engaging communicator in English. The conversation always flowed in two directions and was never excessive:   so Arjun was an excellent companion and not simply a guide. He is  an enthusiastic advocate for Nepal, and I'm looking forward to the next chance to trek with him
