I first met Shiva during my trip to Everest Based Camp in Feb 2015. He was my guide at that time. In just 10 days in the mountains - we developed very close partnership and he always supportive to my friend and I. I had another trip with him last year to Langtang and in Dec this year I am planning to explore Annapurna again with Shiva. In short, I can confidently say he is very responsible and knowledgeable guide.
