Annapurna Region with Ramesh Dahal as the guide.   I was on a trek in the Annapurna Region with Ramesh Dahal as the guide. He was very much on top of things right throughout the trek and showed excellent leadership both with the trekkers and the wounderful + each of porters that we had. On the last day I became quite unusual with only about half a day to go. Ramesh through his brother Nava,was able to arrange for my helicopter evacuation to Kathmandu
