My family and I first met Thile in 2006. I was a recently recruited teacher at The British School in Kathmandu and lived in KTM for 3 years with my wife, Helena, and 2 small children, Naomi and Rowan. Thile took us and another family to Langtang and we had the time of our lives – it was truly magical. And Thile really knows how to care for us foreigners – he’s super helpful and supportive… he knows we can be a pain as it takes time to slow down and appreciate Nepal is a poor country so you can’t be too demanding!
Thile gives you space, support and is also great company, a caring guy and practising Buddhist. I know this sounds a bit OTT but it’s all true.
On our last visit (2019) we were suppose to do a round trek via EBC and the Gokyo lakes but as we went during the monsoon the trails were not so great so we cut out the lakes part… so will be back to try again. On this visit Thile gave us Dawa and Pasang as guides, with NIma and Jeku carrying the kit. We were disappointed ar first as we really wanted Thile… but he was right, Dawa and Pasang also turned out to be fantastic.
In short – I cannot recommend this company too much.
Oh – almost forgot. On our last visit Thile also invited us to dinner and provided a car to Tribhuvan!
