Aakash Gurung was both professional and transparent regarding the terms and conditions of the Mera Peak climbing: though he made a costly mistake in his WhatsApp message to me, he honoured his word. I salute him for this matter.
His advice for the itinerary, which was adjusted due to ongoing road repairs after heavy rain, was reasonable, thus accepted.
Krishna, guide/porter, is a patient man who ensured that the rescheduled flights were orderly obtained (imagine the number of tourists grew during those few days of flight delay). He fed me with the likely reasons for airport closures during bad weather; we walked through the alternatives and then came to a sensible agreement.
Throughout the trekking, he checked that the rooms were comfortable for me; gave short commentaries along the way and answered questions.
I felt safe and relaxed, travelling solo with Nepal Mountain Trekkers, and in the end I have gained 2 new Nepalese friends.
