I trekked Langtang and Gosainkunde with Anil, he speeks good clear English, he is great to steer you to the best room in a tea house ( warmest/ least noise), Anil can spot wildlife when other guides did not notice any movement, he will explain openly Nepali culture and cast system. It was easy and very reasonably priced to add an extra day to visit Kyanjin Gompa. I liked the experience so much that we did a short 2nd trek near Pokhara.
