I have been to two treks with Rupak. The first was to manaslu circuit in  May 2018. My wife and I were extremely happy and impressed with his guidance, company and photography. While crossing the larke la, Rupak saved me from a rock fall which could have seriously injured me. I then planned another trek with him this time in December 2018 to Gokyo Ri which we walked from Jiri. Once again we had a lot fun.  The one thing I really appreciate about Rupak is that you can trust him on issues like safety while crossing passes and your own health and capacity to do so. He loves the mountains and photography, which means that he really wants you to reach your goals. At the same time he is wise enough to put safety first. For instance we suggested that we don't cross renjo la after a day of heavy snow fall and walk back via the village route instead. I followed his advice and given how much snow there was in the way I realized that he made the right call. Needless to say my next treks will also be with Rupak. He is a very nice person as well. Now a dear friend.
