Binod (Binny) was the guide for 12 Aussies while hiking in the Annapurna region . Binod met us in Kathmandu and accompanied us for 12 days ( in March 2016). He was a wonderful guide. He is very personable and friendly; a very good communicator, very well organised, and everything went smoothly. He is very knowlegable about the natural history of Nepal, The porters were a happy group and they clearly respected his leadership. Our group included some slow walkers, and Binod always made sure the stragglers were accompanied. I enjoyed his company, and would not hesitate to recommend him . Stephen Redman
