  1. Jean-Loup Chenard

    “In October 2010, we have spent three weeks trekking around the Annapurnas with closed friends. This trek is for us quite simply the greatest travel we have ever done. And Lawang Tamang, our guide and now friend, has a lot to do in this. With his astonishing knowledge of Nepal and his love for his mother country, he has driven us through Nepali culture, people and landscapes. He has always taken care of our safety, comfort and happiness. We totally trust him and, intuitively, as soon as you will meet him, you will know that you can totally rely on him. He is the man and his agency with all his guides are just like him. We all understood, that there, in Nepal, was something truly exceptional, something that words could never even begin to describe. We are willing to go there again, and will do it as soon as possible to share with Lawang Tamang and his team a new unforgettable experience.”
