this guy made my trek

[discoross]

Hi everyone,
I recently hiked the Annapurna Circuit with a great guide, Norsang Lama. I was a solo traveler, and it was because of him that my trip was so incredible. He was extremely friendly with both me and the locals, many of whom he knew already, his memory was like an almanac, and he treated me like a king -he made sure I would get my tea first!
His english is great, he's very professional at what he does, and he puts YOU first.

---> Trek with Norsang.

Hi everyone also,

I also used Norsang for my trek this March. This was the first time I had used a guide or even been to Nepal and I must admit i was nervous about handing over a pile of cash to some total stranger! But, both Norsang and the porter he uses (Karma) were fantastic ... they took care of all my needs, they are especially friendly and taught me a lot about the local culture - even how to play some of the various card games they all played

We completed Gokyo Ri, Cho La Pass, Kalapattar and EBC. This was a difficult trek for me as four days before flying out to Kathmandu I was back in hospital with a knee problem having injections etc - I couldn't even walk around the local park at that stage. They created a bespoke itinerary to take account of this and showed great patience with me and we had many laughs together.

They made the trekk possible and ensured I had a fantastic time. Again a big thanks to them both.

Norsang, his brother and father run a typical small but high quality business together. If anyone requires any more information then feel free to drop me a pm.

Also, a big thanks to this forum for the very useful information and pointing me in the right direction.

Hi!

During spring 2010, I decided with a friend to do a trek in the Langtang Valley.
We found our guide, Norsang Lama, on internet.
With his help, everything was planned and organized perfectly. From the first day at the airport to the end of the trek and the visit of Kathmandu, his advices were very helpful. He is a very friendly person and knows a lot of things about politics, buddhism, wild, and nepal in general.
With his help, we could climb a 5000m summit without experience of high altitude and talk to nepali people in the villages.
I strongly recommend you to contact him if you want to go to Nepal, and I hope I'll see him again next time I want to do a trek!
Thanks again to him and to the porter (Shwam) : you were both fantastics and we only have wonderful memories of this trip!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you want more informations!
