Recommendation from Rosie (New Zealand)

Recommendation from Rosie

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

I have just completed a 26 days trek in the Kanchenjunga area, Eastern part of Nepal, with Gyan Katuwal, known to us as GB Katuwal, as our Guide/sirdar. I was a member of a 6-person group conducting engineering, health, and education work for the Kanchenjunga School Project. The organization of our group was complex. We carried extra supplies for the project and spent several days working along the route. GB speaks English, assisted with the project work, provided language translation during our workdays, and ensured that we were well supported in each village. 

GB had a strong sense of responsibility towards our group and supported each person individually. I personally experienced his support during a strenuous climb of Deorali Danda early in the trek. His manner is professional and he is respectful of his clients, always reliable, and quietly good company. He is honest and forthright, an essential quality in a guide/sirdar. In turn, GB is respected by the porters, kitchen staff, and assistant guides. He managed the team very well to accommodate our needs. I happily recommend GB Katuwal as a Guide/sirdar. I can answer, questions and confirm this reference by return email. Rosie Knight. New Zealand. Email:-Rosie.knight@xtra.co.NZ

The next day, early in the morning we start walking to Thorong La Pass with a headlamp. 
When we arrived in Muktinath 
We saw many people crying. we heard thousands of thousand of people are dead and more than 10,000 people are injured. after this news our guest like to cancel the trek then we drive to Jomsom. most people were staying on open ground, difficult to get a room at the hotel. there is no big problem in Jomsom by an earthquake but people are scared about earthquakes again. we stay one night at Jomsom.

Recommendation From Dr. Richard UK

Recommendation from Dr. Richard UK
Dr. Richard and Guide GB at Okhatang 4,810m

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

"Gyan guided me and my friend on the Kanchenjunga tea house trek in Oct/Nov. 2014. There are thousands of trekking companies offering their services in Nepal and there is a huge variation in the quality and experience of the guides. I feel extremely lucky to have found Gyan, He has a wide experience of all the trekking routes of Nepal, from unsupported tea house treks to fully assisted camping treks, and has developed a detailed knowledge, not only of the routes and the terrain but also of the many different cultures and villages that are experienced along the way. He obviously has many contacts in the villages and is obviously well-liked by the local people and has good communication and language skills He always seemed to find us good accommodation and food, even when forced to change plans at short notice when my friend developed some health problems. 

Our trek was classed as very strenuous and was made more so by the fact that we needed to complete it in a shorter period than recommended, which meant we would be gaining altitude (up to 4800 m ) rapidly. Despite this, his choice of route allowed us to pace our ascent and we had no problems with altitude acclimatization. Indeed his excellent judgment allowed us to have an extra day at South Base Camp enabling us to see Kanchenjunga in perfect cloudless conditions. He has a calm, gentle manner and has impeccable manners. He is friendly and engaging and is always good company. He is never overbearing or intrusive. His ability to adapt to circumstances and his sound judgment based on many years of experience inspires confidence and at no time did I feel unsafe under his guidance. I have no hesitation in recommending Gyan. I am extremely grateful to him for facilitating the perfect Kanchenjunga experience and I could not imagine a better guide."
