I was recommended to Ram from a friend and I could not have been more pleased with Ram and Essence Tours. We were a big group hiking the Annapurna and he accommodated all of our needs and more. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. I returned to hike the Base camp of Mt. Everest with Ram the following year and again his expertise and professionalism were exemplary. I would highly recommend Ram and Essence Trek & Expedition. I know I will be back….spectacular scenery/hiking and a stellar guide. Ever
