Binay is a man of many talents. Not only is he a superb trekking guide, he is general fix it guy, who can adapt to whatever the situation demands. During our trek a number of the group fell ill; Binay ordered the other guides and porters so that those who were in a fit state to carry on were able to do so, and those who needed to go down/receive medical assistance were given every assistance and help that was required. He never once lost his good humour and his cheery smile and enthusiasm are infectious. Throughout the trek he ensured we had good accommodation and were well fed – acting as waiter, interpreter and anything else that was needed. His ability to chase the Impean pheasant across the rugged mountain-side is second to none. When you meet Binay you may see him as a guide, when you leave you will say goodbye to a friend.
