Unique Path has been great during one time in Nepal. They have been fantastic from booking efficiency through to arrival at Kathmandu airport. The trek was great and helps with leaving Nepal with our things. Raj was a great guide and added a personal touch to everything we saw and did. He always endowed. We were comfortable and happy and allowed us to change our plan schedule to fit in a bit more trekking. We always felt safe and Raj took responsibility for everything through out our 8 days in the Everest Region. All in all the fantastic trek was made hassle free, easy and really enjoyable due to the work of the Unique Path team. Thanks guys. Sarah & Ben [United Kingdom]

Unique Path have made my time here in Nepal so wonderful. They looked after my every need, were always courteous, helpful, honest, friendly and good humored. Hari ensured on my 8 days trek that I was always excellently – looked after, from securing the best rooms to ensuring I had safe water to drink or that I was physically ok when we were on the hardest parts of the walk. When talking to others trekkers (who had booked with other companies) I realized just how great Hari was and how lucky I was that he was with me as a guide. He also organized an excellent trip to Chitwan for me. I am very happy to recommend Unique Path and the wonderful Hari to anyone who might be considering a trip to this amazing and fascinating country. Nicola Pugh [United Kingdom]

Hi Babu, My trek on the Annapurna circuit is one of the few trips I have done that did not seem ages ago by the time I landed back at Heathrow. The complete service provided by you tem while in Nepal was great. I had been concerned that I may feel isolated as single trekker, but just me and my guide/porter worked fantasticly. It was truly tailored to meet my needs. I attach a photo of the movie hose in Manang. Achnge from the photos of the fabulous scenery that most people probably send. And one through the temple door at Pisang. I am happy for anyone to contact me for reference on how good the trip was. Peter [United Kingdom]

Dear Babu, "Now we are back in London from our Nepal holiday, we would like to say thank you for the service which you and Shyam have provided us during our trip. From even before we got to Nepal and were planning our trip, you were very helpful in helping us organise our trip and was very professional and efficient in answering our questions and emails. As a result, the trip run very smoothly and was a success. We would especially like to give thanks to our guide Shyam. He was very professional, friendly and was a joy to be with during our holiday. He was very attentive and helpful, and full of interesting information and the different areas and their cultures. He also made sure I had a very special birthday and planned a surprise birthday cake for me on my birthday. He was a great guide! We will certainly recommend Unique Path to any of our friends who are going to Nepal, as without you guys, it would not been so lovely. We will definitely see you again when we return to Nepal in the future. Thank you Amanda & Victor [United Kingdom]

Dear Babu "I just wanted to pass on my apprecialtion for the wonderful trek you planned for us and the excellent work done throughout the trek by Jeevan Ale. Everything was scheduled out very well but Jeevan kept us on track to complete the trek in the time allotted. He kept us moving, provided excellent service and interaction with the various guest houses, shared a wealth of knowledge of the area and culture, and did so in a fun and respectful manner. We were all impressed with his ability to lead us but all the while doing so in a way that made us feel we were setting the pace. In reality, we could not have done nor seen nor done near as much as we would had he not been there. I am sure you are aware of what a valued asset Jeevan is to Unique Path Trekking but wanted to express my appreciation as well. I am glad my friends recommended Unique Path Trekking to me and will continue to pass that information on to others in the furture. I also thank you for your day to day responses to my neverending questions and your professional approach to pulling this together for us. Here is to continued success in the future!" Respectfully, Bob Leonard [United States]

Dear Babu, "Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in writing this reference. Even before I booked, Babu helped me plan and book my Everest Base Camp Trek. Due to the inclement weather at Lukla airport, my original itenary had to change , then, due to an injury, my revised plans had to change once again. Babu was able to seamlessly arrange transfers to accommodate all of the changes, he was even able to change my international flight back from Kathmandu. When deciding a trek in Nepal it is important to choose a company that is based in Nepal; Babu Unique Path Trekking IS that company. My guide for the trek to Everest Base Camp was Shambu. He was a true gentleman, very knowledgable (as he also spent numerous years as a porter) and extremely passionate about the environment. Shambu was popular in all of the guest houses and, therefore, ensured that I had the best possible rooms available. If you have the opportunity I would definitely recommend Shambu as your guide. I would like to thank Babu and Shambu for making my trip to Nepal an experience of a life time." Alan [United Kingdom]

Dear Babu, "We are spanish people. My husband and I, we made our trek to Base Camp- Kalapattar at the end of september 2008, with Shem (the guide) and Kumar. We are reminded often of our adventure. In this photgraph are the four. Shem and Kumar left, and my husband and I (red) to the right of the image. I regret not having written before, but remain in our hearts." Antonio Martínez Talavera [Spain]

Hi Babu, From the moment we were met at the airport in Kathmandu, the experience we enjoyed with Unique Path was excellent. Our first meeting with Babu and our guide, Rupesh, answered all out questions and we were immediately confident about our choice of trekking company. Nothing that followed ever caused us to doubt that initial confidence - the sleeping bags and down jackets loaned to us were perfect, the transfers to the start of the trek were an enjoyable experience in their own right, and the accommodation and food included in the package was so much better than we had been used to while trekking in India. The trek itself was outstanding; our guide Rupesh was terrific from the outset, a mine of information and giving us complete confidence in the arrangements he was making on our behalf. Our porter Resham was amazing, carrying our huge bags with a smile on his face and consistently ensuring that our rooms had been arranged and our bags deposited there before we arrived at the tea houses. The two of them just made the trip so enjoyable for us. The trek itself went through a huge variation in countryside, from the beautiful lowland areas around Syange to the awesomely rugged mountains as we approached the Thorung La. Particularly delightful was the high level route from Pisang to Manang, with its amazing views of Annapurna ll. After the pass, Kagbeni was a fascinating medieval town, albeit with a branch of YacDonalds to show that it was at least aware of the 21st century. The hot springs of Tatopani were another unexpected bonus where we spent several hours in the hot water exchanging stories with other trekkers. The early morning views from Poon Hill were magnificent, particularly Dhaulagiri. And the last few days walk back down towards Pokhara, while different to anything that had gone before, gave us a wonderful finish to the trek. A lovely hotel in Pokhara and a fascinating bus ride back to Kathmandu were just the icing on the cake. Unique Path are a thoroughly professional operation. They tailored their standard trek to our requirements by building in additional days in both Pokhara and Kathmandu, and finally delivered us back to the airport to catch our plane to England. We shall certainly return next year for the Everest Base Camp Trek. Neil Sutcliffe and Dorothy Woodcock [United Kingdom]

Dear Babu, Well, it has been a very good trip for me personally. I enjoyed the trek thoroughly and also appreciate very much the services provided by the two guides and the porters. Our guides, Mr. Jamkha and Rajan (not sure of the spelling) did their best to accommodate us and took good care of the group ensuring our safety and comfort. On top of that, we were allowed to choose our menu for every meal and that was a real treat for me! The meals were simple yet very appetising, perhaps something to do with the mountain air and our strenuous walk up and down the hills which increased our need for more sustenance! Overall, a very enjoyable and pleasant trip with interesting scenery and spectacular view of the high mountains and meeting with people trekking in from different parts of the world. Highly recommended and God willing, I would like to go for another trek hopefully more prepared and more fit. Yoke Lee & Nine others [Malaysia]

In our search for trekking office who could accompany us during the trek around Manaslu .We got some information from information from earlier clients which brought us to Unique Path Trekking. They immediately accepted our question for an alternative route around Manaslu including a side – trip into Tsum Valley. Our expectation where completely satisfied and it became a unforgettable trek in a culture, religion Tibetan Buddhism and geogratic way. Thanks to the spontaneous curiosity of our guide Tilak, we had a close contact with the habitants of region we crossed. The spirit in the the group of porters, staff and us was very pleasant at all times. So we can recommend this trekking office and in specially the whole crew with manager guide Tilak, Sarder Krishna and Chef Suresh. Great Thanks Again!

Namaste Babu We are really very happy with your recommendation to do the Manaslu Trek. It was exhilarating to experience this wonderful part of Nepal especially with our expert guide, Suresh, our patient porters, Tilak & Sunil, they are a great team. They are always looking behind our backs ensuring our safety & comfort which have made this trek easier & unforgetable. Once again, we would like to say a big "Thank you" to you & your team for your excellent service. Trekking is a Challenge, Unique Path is the Choice! Eileen Yap [Singapore]

Hi Babu Our trek at the start of the season to EBC & Goyko Ri was one to remember. With other tour companies not confident, we were very impressed with Unique Path’s expertise, enabling us to be the first group of the new season to trek across the high pass to Goyko. This was the highlight of our trek and I am so glad we were able to experience this as a small group in amongst huge mountains. The food & hospitality was better than expected, with so many great moments had by all. We can’t fault the guide & porters they did a terrific job!! From the initial enquiry to the departure at Katmandu, all was handled professionally and without a hitch. We would highly recommend Unique Path to others. Thank you Babu and all the team. Marcello Viselli [Australia]

Dear Babu, I'm fine here. Trekking with Unique Path was a great experience. Our guide - Jeevan shared his stories and trekking experiences which are valuable to Nepal first timer like us. And we also need not worry about the accommodation, transportation and food issue, probably you just need to gear up yourself and enjoy the scenic mountains view every day. And now we miss Nepal, nice people, nice food, nice weather and nice view. We'll be back for other trekking route and definitely will be looking for you again, Babu. Thanks for the nice trip and well arrangement for the whole trip. Regards, Gerald Walh [Malaysia]

Hi Babu, Thank you so much for arranging my EBC/Gokyo via Chola Pass trek. I had such an incredible time! From the first day of arriving at Kathmandu to the day I departed, I was well looked after by everyone at Unique Path. When we needed to make changes to my trek, there was never a problem and everything was done promptly. I would recommend Unique Path to anyone looking at travelling to Nepal. Thank you once again and I hope to travel to Nepal soon! Thanks again. Fiona [New Zealand]

We had an amazing trek with Suresh and Tilock. There are both great things to share and suggestions we have as too how it could have been better. We will certainly openly share both as well as a wonderful photo of all four of us at the top of the Laurabina Pass. It is the only photo with the four of us and I will attach it now in case we forget to on our longer reply with our thoughts. I will also attach one of Suresh and one of Tilak that I have on the trek. We also wish to acknowledge the great tragedy that has recently occurred on Everest. We are in strong support of less pressure and better conditions for the Nepalese people who take such great risks and face hardships on these expeditions. We are currently working through a Canadian expedition company that was involved with Everest expeditions this year to see what we can do to support the families of those who lost their lives and their livelihoods to the tragedy. It sometimes seem very unfair to us but we realize such expeditions have their risks. If you have any thoughts as to how we can make an effect or contribution to those left without a family member we would welcome that. As Suresh and Tilak may have mentioned we experienced a great deal of trouble at the end of our trek in accessing funds from the ATM's in Patan. Hopefully we were able provide the tip we wished to leave with our travel companions in Canadian dollars that we still had with us. With the currency exchange we were not sure if we did them justice. Feedback on that is welcome as well. We will be in touch with well thought out feedback and suggestions on our experience. You can rest assured that it will be completely honest and with everyones best interests in mind. It was a life time and a life outlook altering experience. Dharai Dhanyabad, David [Canada]
