Recommendation from Jamie Stewart

Hi, my name is Jamie, I am a trekker from New Zealand.
This past trekking season, post-monsoon 2011, we spent three months in Nepal. The first month was spent in the Kanchenjunga region with GB.

I recommend GB highly as a caring, honest, and skilled guide and person.

We are experienced travelers and don't usually hire guides but in Nepalese-restricted areas, guides are compulsory. So it was with some trepidation that we met GB, but this proved completely unfounded. Our small party of my wife, GB, and I had a fantastic time despite some pretty big challenges. These challenges included a 6.8 magnitude earthquake which we somehow found ourselves at the epicenter of!

In fact, we got to know GB so well that we met him again several times after returning to Kathmandu and ended up going to visit and work (my wife is a doctor) in his village. It was a huge experience for us to be welcomed into his family home and get a glimpse of the humble but dignified beginnings that this very sophisticated, cultured, and worldly chap has worked himself up from.

Over the next wee while I will put up some photos from our adventures with GB, and please if you are considering using him as a guide feel free to get in touch with me...

Good luck with your Nepalese adventure.

Earthquake Education at Foley

Through going to the Kanchenjunga Region many times I have become friends with the local people. Over the last few years, I have been a guide for the volunteers of the Kanchenjunga School Project. This year I was guiding two volunteers from New Zealand when the earthquake struck. When we visited the Tibetan refugee village of Foley there was extensive damage to the building and people were very scared of future earthquakes.

We provided an impromptu earthquake education presentation to the village, which was appreciated very much.

A great day at Kanchenjunga

I have just returned from a very memorable trip to the far east of Nepal and the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. We were in the middle of the Ghunsa Khola when the 2011 Himalayan Earthquake struck, this made the rest of the journey very dangerous with fresh landslides, but despite this, we traversed the Mirgin La Pass 4,925m and had an amazingly clear day at Kanchenjunga South Base Camp.
