I was fortunate to trek with Madu, his wife Pramila, and two of his friends on a customized tour to Muktinath. Madu made the experience as stress free as possible, as he took care of all of the logistics, from the bus rides, lodging, and ordering food. He also was a wealth of information about the area, introduced us to some of the local culture around the Mustang area, and allowed us some freedom to explore. I'm really grateful to have visited so many Tibetan Buddhist temples, to walk under the 108 water taps at the Muktinath temple, experience a Hindu aarti ceremony, hunt for shaligram on the Kali Kandaki, go cave exploring, and just be in the Himalayas with a caring and trustworthy guide. Whether you want a cultural experience or to trek the Himalayas, Madu will ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. He's a great guy, and even better human being. I've met a guide, and made a good friend.
