I recently went on a trip to Nepal and to Everest  Base Camp in February, 2020. In getting quotations through Tourhq, the one from Badri had the fairest balance between price and what was offered. In particular, he offered enough rest/ acclimatization days to ensure success. He only required a small down payment to get things going. Based on his guidance, I spent the next few months planning my gear, etc.

It was on reaching Nepal, however, that I was pleasantly surprised at the hospitality and effort put out  by Badri to make me feel at home. He met me at the airport, got me settled in at the hotel, and took me sightseeing the next day. 

I was on my way to Lukla the day after, where I was met by my guide, Bhusan and my porter, Tenzing. Over the next 12 days, they looked after me exceptionally well, matching my pace when my legs got weary going up and down the endless steps and stony paths. They were cheerful, supportive, attentive and knowledgeable companions throughout the journey to EBC and back. Although it was certainly no "walk in the park", they made the experience of going to EBC and Kala Patthar maneageable and exciting, and erased any fears and concerns I may have had. Badri was in contact with my guide throughout the journey, and he spoke with me to check on my well being from time to time.

Badri's hospitality continued when I got back to Kathmandu,  where he took me to a local blacksmith who made a kukhuri for me while I  watched and participated. He saw me off safely at the airport the next day for my long flight home.

In summary, Badri's service and generosity went way, way beyond what was originally offered, and he is a credit to his country and people. I wish to offer him my profound gratitude for making my trip to Nepal a trip of a lifetime.

Well done Badri, and thanks again. I look forward to another visit to your beautiful country.

Greatest journey in the Himalayas. It would have been not possible without this charming personality.  The views were the best, the sunrise from Poon Hill was magnifcent. And the care and the profesinalism shown by this person is amazing.

If you are planning a trip in Nepal then choose him, he is the person to go with. 

Thank you Badri.

I have visited three different countries on my this trip and traveled with 3 different guides and Badri is the best. He has the great knowledge of history, culture, arts and archeology. He knows the things with every details. Always smiling and humble, his knowledge says all that he is the experienced one. And the best part of him is he loves what he is doing and he does it from his heart.

Very very good guide. High reccommendation.

We traveled around Nepal and visited many places including Kathumandu, Nagarkot, Tilaurakot, Lumbini, and Dandipur just in 6 days. Though this is very tight schedule, Badri helped us manage the trip very smoothly. We are aware he made best efforts to make our trip fun all the time. Needless to say, his knowledge about the nature, culture, history, etc. of Nepal is supreme.

Did Annapurna Poon Hill Trek with Badri. It was a such nice trip. Really thankful for this amazing buddy.
