I had the pleasure last January of having the most wonderful trekking guide in Nepal around Kathmandu and then the Annapurna circuit trekking in Annapurna region trek . I have been with him several times in Nepal including Everest base camp kalapathar trekking upper mustang trekking manaslu trekking in Nepal annapurna base camp trekking and sight seeing around kathmandu patan and bhakatapur Rajandra Khanal was not only knowledgeable about Nepalese history and trails, he was also patient, efficient, very smart and witty, spoke excellent English and always seemed to have a good rapport with whoever we encountered, both local Nepalese and tourists. He was an extremely strong guide who carried some of my belongings along with his own, and never appeared tired, always as energetic and agile as a mountain goat. I remember one instance where we did a steep climb, and I as usual was moving very slowly in Annapurna region trek . When we reacched the top of the mountain I realized I did not have my money pouch, and had probably dropped it way back on the trekking trail where we had stopped. As soon as I told him he was off, running down the mountain at top speed. I watched him reach the bottom and take off like lightning down the trail. We had passed a group of boys walking in the direction of where I had dropped my pouch, and of course, if they found it that would be the end of that. But he reached the pouch before the boys, and came running back down the trail and up the mountain in 15 minutes, the same steep climb that had taken me much longer!! He arrived smiling and happy that he had suceeded. I was very, very grateful, and impressed!!! He was always good natured and hapy!! After that I let him carry my money. At the end of the trek I found out how frugal he had been, and that he had negotiated lodgings so skillfully that he had save me quite a lot of money. We remain good friends and I look forward to the time when I can return to Nepal and trek again with this wonderful young man. If you are planning to do trekking in Nepal ,travel in Nepal tour in Nepal or any special plan in Nepal, don't miss the chance to trek with Raj, it will be nothing short of a great experience!!Peggy Cabbab. united state Hawai (For the More information you can mail me about Raj )
