Trekking In Nepal
I had to post this in the forum column after returning from our trek since my boyfriend and I had the absolute best time trekking in the Everest region!
His name is Sanjib Adhikari and his email is sanjib-adhikari@hotmail.com, he is licens...ed by the country of Nepal and has been a trekking guide for over 12 years.
I found him through the posted forums when I was inquiring about trekking since my boyfriend and I only had 5 days to trek and really wanted to see mount Everest. He was able to customize a plan to get us as close as possible. We had a blast! I'd love to send you photo's of our trek and trust me there was a part when we were climbing the hill to get to Namche and I thought I was going to die! Sanjib was so patient and his knowledge of the mountain area and all of Nepal is commendable! We met up with a couple of other people trekking and had a blast hanging out in one of the places to stay and even the other people were asking Sanjib about routes to take and length of time it would take to get to base camp.
He is a smart, honest and genuine person and guide! Even after the trek we met up in Thamel and hung out for 2 days seeing the sights around Kathmandu and Patan. Sanjib not only knows the Everest region but all around Nepal and I highly recommend him!

My boyfriend and I also used this guide whilst we were out in Nepal - we were recommended by a friend who used him when she did Everest Base Camp. We decided to do the Annapurna Circuit plus base camp.
We met with Sanjib in Kathmandu when we arrived in Nepal and we told him what we wanted to do and how much time we had etc. He told us about a few trips that were possible and we eventually came up with this one.
It was the most amazing trip and wouldn't have been the same without him and Ram our porter (.
We spent 20 days trekking in November 2011 and Sanjib was able to answer all of our questions from the birds to the trees to the mountains and religion. It was a very cultural trek with so much history.
Some people say that it is possible to do the trek without a guide, which may be true but you miss so much when you are on your own and we learnt such a lot from Sanjib which meant that we understood so much more of Nepal when we visited different areas.
We paid all of our money to him up front, which we were dubious about at the start as we didn't know him but I wouldn't say that this was a problem at all.
He made sure we were happy and safe and had full bellies at all times and made sure that we knew everything about altitude sickness which we didn't get in the end thanks to his slower pace higher up and aclimatisation walks. We also took Diamox, under his recommendation and we were both fine and only suffered a bit of tingling in our faces (a side effect of the drug)!
I would recommend Sanjib to ANYONE that was thinking about going trekking in Nepal, I would love to go back and visit him and do another trek with him when I have the time! There are so many guides out there that claim to do everything that he does but I wouldn't choose anyone without a recommendation because you hear so many stories about dodgy guides and it would be so sad to lose your money and have a bad experience.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions and enjoy your trek!

One of the best walking boots on the market
My previous boots were Burma pros supposed to be for the broader foot (and they squeak)
Well the Nepal's are fantastic really good fit really good width and plenty of volume for your toes to move in. The quality of the upper is first class much better than the Burma's. The fit of the ankle system fantastic.The Scarpa system that allows the angle to flex forward is really good the Burma's rubbed me unless I slackened the laces, both boots never gave me blisters though.
Mine are all waxed up and they don't let any water in
A first class boot
Can be hard to get hold of
Insole is a bit pants (better in the Burma's)but nothing that Super-feet can't sort out, but with the originals they can be quite hard (not much cushioning)
While the flex forward is fantastic the movement back wards is quite stiff but I suppose that provides more support
And if you read some of my other reviews I do not see Mountain Boot company (Scarpa UK)as a good thing.
Best walking boots I've had

VERY COMFY SO FAR
Comfy, Sturdy, take everything that I've thrown at them so far. Love them.
Needed careful lacing to fit my foot (cheers Parky) Not the lightest boot around.
After about 200 miles these are great boots. Regular cleaning and proofing, (Nikwax Nubuck & Suede) I can't fault them, even in a foot of water, my feet were completely dry! If they fit your feet try them out. Got them for £85.

GREAT 3 SEASON BOOT
*Great protective rand
*High quality leather liner
*Chunky sole pattern
*High cut is supportive
*Not the lightest of boots
*Must proof regularly due to lack of gtx liner
I do most of my walking bog-hopping in the peaks so it was a bit of a gamble going for an unlined boot. I'm glad to say these boots have stood up to everything I've thrown at them. I've walked for miles in ankle deep bogs, climbed waterfalls and crossed streams and these boots haven't let a drop of water in. The rand is fantastic for scrambling and protective on scree. A great looking boot too. My first choice boot in all but the most wintry conditions.

FANTASTIC
really comfortable, good all round hillwalking boot! would recommend to everyone.
Ive had to keep on top of reproofing, and getting the laces in the right configuration to the shape of my foot for best comfort thats it!
Best boots ive had, also have scarpa manta and would normally buy and use meindl, but when these are gone ill get another pair.....Nuff said!
