Dbał o nas na każdym kroku: pilnował, żebyśmy dobrze jedli, spali i mieli ciepło w nocy. Wybierał trasy może nieco dłuższe, ale o zapierających dech w piersiach widokach. Hotele, które wybierał, miały wspaniałe widoki na Himalaje, a dzięki jego trosce czuliśmy się bezpiecznie i komfortowo. Znał też wiele słów po polsku, co było dla nas bardzo miłe i zaskakujące.
