Hi all

I went on the Annapurna Circuit trek with him this
past October. It was a life long dream of mine to do
this trek, and I finally made it happen. You know us
Americans, hard to get much time off work!

I actually met Bal via the Lonely Planet web site.
Somebody had posted they went on a trek and used him.
They said he was great, so I contacted him and get
everything setup via email.

Bal was fantastic. I have to say he is probably the
most polite man I have ever met. 100% concerned about
your happiness and safety. Which is great when you
are trekking. Safety is important. As is being happy
on your dream trek.

Bal knows exactly what to do. He knows the routes,
the places to stay, and where to eat. He took me to
the places the locals eat at, even got to go into some
of their homes and had homemade yak butter tea with
one family. What a great experience.

When I do my next trek, it will be with Bal for sure.
If you have any other questions, please email me. I
have been traveling around the world for almost 2
years now. And am in Bangkok for the next few months.
