"I wanted to thank you for such an outstanding experience. I have traveled around the world, and only the far reaches of Nepal can compare to the stark and rugged beauty of this area. Most of all, we wanted to let you know what an outstanding job Sebastian did as our guide. I celebrated my 30th Birthday while on the W hike, and he went above and beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks again and keep up the good work."

"I was very impressed with this young man. He was personable, insiteful and helpful. He was aware of what was going on and some of our personal issues without being intrusive. He often had solutions to issues before we made him aware of problems. He was aware of our physical capabilites and provided a safe enviornment at all times."
