Hari guided me and my husband on our honeymoon trek to Gokyo Lakes in the fall of 2010. We were very impressed with his technical AND tactical knowledge of the trail. When other guides were rushing out to climb Gokyo Ri, and the Mt. Everest view point above Namche Bazaar, Hari was watching the clouds and waiting for the right moment - and we were rewarded with perfect timing! Hari is also very mindful of his client's physical abilities: we tend to hike very fast, which could have put us in trouble at those altitudes. Instead, Hari paced us with good rest spots and tea-time breaks. At permit checkpoints, Hari took care of the communication and were allowed to breeze past other trekkers struggling to secure their premissions. Overall, we believe that Hari is already an excellent guide who is on the path to being a forefront leader with age and experience.
