Jaya N Bhandari

Jaya was our local guide for a group of 13 people on the Langtang-Gosainkunda-Halambu trek. It was a privilege to trek with him. From his wide-ranging knowledge of nature and local culture, to his undying patience, care and concern for the people under his leadership, Jaya was outstanding. Perfectly fluent in English with a superb sense of humor, Jaya knew how to treat each person as an individual and how to encourage those who found the walking difficult. At the end of the day's hiking, his massages were a work of wonder.  He was a source of positive energy throughout our two weeks' trekking and a delightfu travelling companion.
