尼泊尔登山向导 Tulasi Ram Paudel 推荐信
—— Janet Wong 于 2011 年撰写
“如果说高山是尼泊尔的地标，那么 Tulasi 无疑就是尼泊尔群山的象征。”
我们通过网站联系了 Tulasi 和其他几位向导，但最终非常有信心地选择了 Tulasi，因为他的回复简单真诚，同时又详细、全面。
2011 年 4 月，我们与 Tulasi 一起度过了难忘的 9 天徒步旅程。根据我们的兴趣和喜好，他特别推荐了 Panchase 徒步路线——一条尚未商业化、自然纯净的徒步线路。
Tulasi 为人诚实、谦逊、可靠、真诚、聪明、幽默且富有耐心，英语流利。他责任感极强，对工作非常认真，因此他也是一位善于倾听、观察细致、能够敏锐理解客人需求的优秀向导。
他身体素质优秀，受过专业训练，对徒步路线、急救知识、天气状况、动植物生态以及尼泊尔文化和民族习俗都有深入了解。在旅途中，他还是我们与当地村民之间非常出色的翻译桥梁。
Tulasi 也是一位非常优秀的行程组织者。除了帮我们安排加德满都与博卡拉之间的航班，他还带我们入住一些独特、迷人且充满热情好客氛围的茶馆旅舍。由于 Panchase 当时并不是商业化徒步路线，条件相对简陋，但 Tulasi 总会尽最大努力确保我们的舒适。
例如，他亲自为我们烧热水洗澡，甚至在大雨中把热水桶搬到较远的浴室。他经常进入厨房帮助准备食物，有时甚至亲自为我们下厨。徒步期间，他还特地携带水果同行，让我们在无法到达午餐点的日子里也能享用水果补充体力。
最让我感动的是他细致入微的关怀。有一次，在一个没有菜单的村庄茶馆里，Tulasi 亲手为我们制作了一份“菜单”，方便我们点早餐。虽然只是小小的举动，却充分体现了他对客人的真心与用心。
整个旅途中，我发现 Tulasi 总是把徒步者的利益和舒适放在第一位，而从不只考虑自己。他并不是一个斤斤计较的人，而是真正发自内心地照顾客人。
Tulasi 绝不是普通的徒步向导。除了专业能力之外，他对高山和大自然充满真正的热爱与敬畏。即使已经从事向导工作多年，他依然会被沿途风景深深吸引与感动。
我强烈推荐 Tulasi 给所有计划来尼泊尔旅行的人。他让我的第一次喜马拉雅之旅变得独特、难忘而充满意义。我相信未来我还会再次回到尼泊尔，也许只是为了再次与这位优秀的朋友和向导一起徒步。

Chinese Recommanded for Treekking guide Tulasi Ram Paudel-Janet Wong wrote in 2011
If mountains are landmark of Nepal, then Tulasi is certainly the icon of the mountains in Nepal.
We got in touch with Tulasi & other guides through this web page. We confidently chose Tulasi because he convinced us with his simple yet detailed & comprehensive reply.
We spent a total of 9 days with him in April 2011. We covered the Panchasse trek, a non-commercialized trek recommended by Tulasi after he understood what we like to see in the trek.
Tulasi is honest, well-mannered, humble, reliable, genuine, street smart, jovial, patient, humorous & speaks fluent in English. Because he is highly responsible & takes his work seriously , makes him a good listener, observant & sensitive to our needs & preferences. He is certainly well trained, physically fit, knowledgeable in his field of expertise including familiarity of the trek routes, first aid, strict with the dos and don't, knows fauna & flora, weather & good understanding of Nepali culture and tribes. He was a good translator between locals & us. Tulasi was also very accommodating & flexible to the changes we made along our way & at the same time, well balance as a prudent trekking guide.
Tulasi is certainly an excellent logistics organizer. Besides organizing our flights to/from Kathmandu/Pokhara, he took us to very unique, lovely, charming & hospitable teahouses. He offers very personalized service. He made good effort in details just to ensure we were comfortable especially in the less equipped teahouses (because it was a non-commercialized trek) eg. he not only boiled water for our hot shower, he carried the buckets of boiled water to distant bathroom even during heavy downpours (no shelter). He even made sure we gone for shower before the water turn cold ! Very often, you find him landing in the kitchen preparing our meals & even cooked for us despite meals were paid for together with accommodation. He personally carried with him, fruits (he could have chose other stuffs which were light weight) during our treks so that we could have them on days we would not reached teahouses for lunch. He always utilized his resources and tapped on his network eg. we were linked-up to enjoy competitive exchange rates.
What touched me most was, during our stay in one of the village teahouse, there was no menu for meals.
Instead of verbally name a few, he delivered us a Tulasi-made-menu So that we could refer when we had to order for one (yes, just ONE) breakfast !! It may seem trivial but one could tell from here, he is a guy who is, not only willing to take extra mile for his guests but he uses his heart to service his guests.
My observation revealed he always have his trekkers' interest as priority & NEVER his. Through some incidents, I also concluded Tulasi is not a calculative person.
Tulasi is certainly no ordinary guide. He only claimed his passion for trekking. But, if you read his eyes, they revealed his love for mountain, his appreciation & admiration to beauty of nature. I was amazed to notice during our trek, how the landscapes still appealed, charmed & attracted him even after his 12 years as a trekking guide.
I will highly recommend Tulasi to anyone who has read this. Unfortunately, i can't narrate every event that happened to testify how outstanding Tulasi was. However, i will like to stress, Tulasi is certainly value for money & he really made me feel he was a sherpherd taking good care of his herds (trekkers).
It was Tulasi that made my first Himalayan experience a unique & memorable one & i do not rule out i'll soon make another trip, perhaps just to meet up with this good trekking companion.
I'll be most willing if you like to write to me with regards to Tulasi. i can be reached at janetwpw@yahoo.com or i'm sure, Tulasi will be most delighted to receive inquiry who plans to visit Nepal or request for customs-make trek that will suit you. His email is at tulasip@hotmail.com
By the way, Tulasi has two commonly repeated phrase which will make you laugh & forget the aching muscles or fatigue body even after a long, tedious & tiring trek. Will keep you in suspense & find out for yourself when you meet him !
