Bibek took us around the Tamang Heritage Trail and then through the Langtang to Khanjin Gompa. Throughout the 12 days of trekking Bibek was a tremendous guide and companion. He was tirelessly enthusiastic and always receptive to our needs and suggestions. Through a few days of intense rain, he managed the situation and adjusted our schedule to keep us on track. A fantastic experience. I would strongly recommend Bibek as a trek guide and am looking forward to trekking with him again.
