I have been trekking in Nepal for many, many years, and have done most of the major treks, some even twice. On almost all of them, Jhalak was my lead guide from Annapurna Mountain Treks. What can I say about him? You will not find a better person to guide you. He is extremely knowledgeable about the treks, he is very personable and fun and speaks very good English. It is like having your big brother with you, feeling very, very safe, and protected. Jhalak is very respected in the trekking community and he is much liked by the porters and other sherpas. He treats everybody with the utmost respect, is fair, and very concerned about the guest and staff safety. I totally trust his decisions in every situation.
Jhalak is a family man, respected Brahmin in his village who works hard to provide education for his children and maintain a good home.
I have always asked for Jhalak to be my guide and was very happy to see his smiling face greet me in Kathmandu on the arrival. I am very happy I met this exceptional human being.
I would highly recommend Annapurna Mountain Treks for all your trekking needs. You will have excellent trekking experiences with AMT.
I went to Nepal last year and spent two weeks hiking to the base of Anapurna I with these guides. Each and every guide was incredibly helpful, patient and told many interesting stories along the way. I learned many things about Nepal and the Himalayan mountains. It was such an enjoyable experience and I would definitely go with the same group again!
From Annapurna Mountain Treks The “Best guide I´ve ever meet in Nepal. I did Chisapani Nagarkot trek with Sanjib 2015. I will definitely talk to him next time when I go to Nepal again for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Very professional, with a great knowledge of the traditions and cultural heritage of the country and easy conversation that makes the trek a pleasure not only for the body but for the mind and spirit too.”I am going to booking now for the next trip.
In October 2017 I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Annapurna Mountain Treks. I started out flying into Kathmandu and met with David in the hotel. David and Raine Gorter were both very helpful in preparing for the trek. The hotel staff was also very helpful. I was the oldest trekker at 63 years old. My trek leader Jhalak was outstanding. He was very supportive and very experienced (over 20 years) in trekking in the area. He became a good friend of mine. The trek was tough but he always had a very positive, supportive attitude towards me and the other 10 trekkers. I would highly recommend Annapurna Mountain Treks and request Jhalak as the group leader!
I recently completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Annapurna Mountain Treks company and I was so pleased with the experience I had during the trek.I contacted Mr.Sanjib via email for the information about the trek and he provided me with all the details within a short period of time.
Our guide for the trek was Jhalak who was very friendly and so professional in his work. He led us to our journey with much more entertainment on the way. Potters were also amazing. They helped me a lot during the trek. I got to know them better during the journey with funny interactions with each other. Everything was perfectly managed by the GK company.
I had the best accommodation and transportation service. The most beautiful moment of the trek was reaching the destination after so many struggles and fun during the journey and it was worth everything. The most breathtaking moment was the view of the moment was a glorious mountain and its beautiful surroundings. It was really an amazing trek with amazing people working in this field. I really enjoyed a lot and will soon visit again and recommend this company a lot.
