We contacted Kedar from Thailand a couple of days   before leaving for Nepal to do Everest base camp trek. Based on the testimonial we saw on his website. Kedar was every bit as professional and helpful as we expected him to be. He took care of us while in Kathmandu helping us to buy whatever gear we need making arrangement of our ticket to Lukla as well organizing for us a porter to carry Shweat’s backpack. 

Our experience with Balaram was very good. Shweta was a slow trekker, and Balaram was always patiently walking behind her. He would also call upfront to the next destination for the day and ensure that we have a room to stay. He was also very informed about mountains in the Everest region and serve as a Guide as well. Often times he would have a different opinion from us about the course of action for the day, but he did not impose it on us,. Also unlike several of the others porters we heard, about, balaram was an honest worker who always had interest at heart, at all times. We got a stock in Lukla for 05 days at the end of our Trip, and balaram stayed through it all (even though his contract had expired with us) till he sent us off from Lukla airport.  We really appreciate having Balaram with us during the Entire trek. He was invaluable.

We would strongly recommend the Service from Balaram who work for Actual Adventure Pvt. Ltd with Kedar Neupane. For entire trekking in Nepal.
