Shiva first took me up to EBC a few years ago and upon my return recently to trek the Manaslu and Tsum Valley regions, I can honestly say that I'll be returning to see him again. Not only did he guide me with wonderful local knowledge and reassurance on the trail, he became a dear a friend. Lively and fun, Shiva is definitely a tour guide worth the contact especially as he is very experienced in guiding and very well connected with the local people. After my trek, he even showed me around the city with its various parks and points of interest and it was a beautiful way to wind up the tour. Great memories, Shiva - hope to see you again soon!
