Solo trekker looking for guide recommendations for the 8 day trek from Jiri to Namche Bazaar. DONT want a "group tour" or a porter as I will be carrying my own gear. I will be in Nepal on November 25th 2007. Any info is appreciated and much luck to u.

Hi

I dod Jiri to EBC and back to Lukla, just myself and a guide/porter, in September 2006. Went through company. A UK company but dealt directly with their Kathmandu office and received excellent service, and at a good price!

Contact details - www.exodus-treks.com
email is etreks@mos.com.np the boss in charge there is Kama Lama Sherpa
Tel is +977 1 4442715/4442716
The guide he chose for me was Lakpha Gelu Sherpa. He was an excellent guide and very professional though friendly.

Good luck. if you want any more info then please contact me. Charge was $15 per day...

I warmly recommend Santaman or Rame, with whom I have trekked on a number of my treks in Nepal, and had excellent experiences. Profesional, personable, good communicators but not intrusive.
Email Santaman on
santamn@hotmail.com

Mention to him that you want a guide. Rame, Recham and Shera are excellent porter-guides. They act as guides, but can carry your bag as well if needed.

Tell Santa the recommendation is from me.

I recommend you Raj Nepal, an excellent guide specially for the Everest Region. Really nice and professional. You can contact him at raj_18nepal@yahoo.com. I know he is at the moment in the Annapurnas, so maybe it will take him some days to answer you, but it really worth it, believe me!

I met him in Tengboche (Everest region), he was with and old and famous writer coming down from the Everest Base Camp, the writer has travelled around the world the last 50 years, and he told me, Raj was the best guide he had ever had. I know it is true! I met him in Kathmandu afterwards, he is really a nice guy!

Tell Raj a spanish girl (me) told you about him, and sure you will get an special price.
