Had a wonderful trek with Unique Nepal Adventure! Really enjoyed my time and he continued to help me out even after the trek!

This trip to nepal for the ABC trek was beyond my expectations and having Jay as our guide made the trip a whole lot more homely and comfortable.

Upon arrival at the Airport in KTM, we were acquainted with our main guide Jay (whom also is the owner of the company), He approached us with much familiarity and care and we were quickly on good terms with this happy man.

My team and I took the 9D8N ABC trek which included poon hill, as much as it was tough - our porters Yak and Binod definitely lightened our load by crazy amounts - we were deeply grateful. As for Jay, he was constantly checking on us and making sure we took the safest route if there were diversions

Overall, If u are one who enjoys the company of a positive family man, one who seems like a long lost friend, I would highly recommend Jay’s service. This virgin trip to the Himalayas was fruitful and memorable and I am definitely coming back.

Jay was such a great guide. He arranged everything for my group, from accommodation to transportation. He constantly provided us information on the mountains and other points of interest, and was always approachable with his warm and friendly demeanor, always laughing and smiling. His presence definitely made the trek a wonderful and memorable experience. Would love to return to visit the mountains again with him, and our lovely porters Binod, and Yak. Highly recommended!

Jay guided me with a group of yogis to Poon Hill and around Pokhara on a several day trek. He introduced me to his culture - people, food, way of life and to the beauty of Nepal. Grateful for our time together and hope to return for another trek in the future. Namaste!

I met Jay in April 2007, who guided me on the Gokyo – Cho La pass – Everest Base Camp Trek. As well as wanting to do this trek, I was also out there with a work colleague who was climbing Everest that season (he succeeded with Alpine Ascents). Jay more than met my expectations and assisted me in my needs for the trek, ensuring I could meet up with my colleague at specific places, as we had different itineraries. My personal highlight was meeting him at Base Camp, where his group was carrying out a Puja ceremony, something I hadn’t seen before. Jay found good accommodation in all of the villages and as a bonus I paid extra to get us into the Eco Lodge at Lobuche. In addition he will take into account your physical condition, primarily thinking about your walking speed and not allowing you to ascend the trail too quickly in order to aid acclimatisation.

He noted that I had some time left in my holiday, which I had set aside for sightseeing and collecting souvenirs in Kathmandu. He asked if I would like to trek to his village, just south of the Ganesh Himal. It gave me a further insight into Nepalese culture, a different way of life in comparison to the ‘commercialised’ regions of the Khumbu and Annapurna.

He is very friendly and is open, honest and understanding with a great sense of humour. He always seems to be happy, but then he loves his job, which you can probably understand! He has a great knowledge of Nepal’s rich history and culture and was always quick to point this out along the way.

Jay will pick you up from the airport and will ably assist you in looking for extra gear you may require for the trek.

Jay is not just a guide to me, he is also a friend. We have stayed in contact since the Everest Base Camp trek and I visited Nepal again in October/November 2010. We first trekked in the Ganesh Himal area back to his village, this time via the start of the Langtang route, catching a bus to Syrabru Besi and west over two passes. A further two days trekking, a Jeep and two buses then led me to the Annapurna Circuit. It also gave me the opportunity to visit Pokhara and carry out some sightseeing in Kathmandu’s districts of Bhaktapur and Patan.

In March/April 2015 I undertook a long held ambition in trekking the Kanchenjunga region. Jay was unable to accompany me due to other commitments and he assigned me a fantastic guide and porter. I had an amazing time with them and I came back and met up with Jay to do some other things for a few days.

I can thoroughly recommend Jay as a guide and if you enjoy your trek as much as me, then you will have had one of your best experiences of a life time.
