I spent about a month with Jaya as a guide for me and a group of students. Throughout the whole time, he was thorough, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and knowledge- all with a big smile on his face. He taught us about Nepali culture, the language, food, and is a great storyteller.  In essence, his knowledge and attitude made our visit to Nepal so much more valuable. Both the students and adults enjoyed his presence on our trip. Can't recommend enough. 

Jaya was our guide on an 8 day hike in the Langtang region of Nepal. He was really flexible and adjusted the trek to our capabilities. He is super friendly, kind, caring and incredibly intelligent, so good conversations are inevitable. His knowledge of the mountains is unlimited and I'd trust my life to him in any scenario. Definitely recommend him!

I could not recommend Jaya more highly - he was our guide when my father and I went to Annapurna Base Camp in 2016. We had originally planned on going to Everest Base Camp but due to some complications in Lukla, we had to change plans. Jaya was incredibly flexible and accommodating, and always made our positive experience his priority. No matter what the problem, Jaya made it his job and his joy to take care of us - from securing lodging at each stop on our trek even to carrying my pack when I had food poisoning. And this is all just the baseline - Jaya is a wonderfully warm and open-hearted person. A few days with him and you will have gained a true friend for life. It was a joy to spend that time with him and I wouldn't want to trek with anyone else! 

i spent twenty days trekking with Jaya and had a ball, base camp and island Peak. He supported me when i was struggling thru the pass and on acclimatisation walks and when i thought my hands would drop off from the cold. Jaya knows the trails and wouldnt find a better guide in Nepal.

Jaya was our guide when we went to the langtang valley trek. He was very friendly and patient with us. he knew what he was doing and took good care of us. He is passionate about bird watching and got us interested in that too! Overall, I hope we end up trekking again together in the future!
