“We all look upon those days with you in Nepal as one of the great experiences of life.”

Michael Wood, UK
Writer and presenter of many critically acclaimed series on television, including Art of the Western World, Legacy and In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, also author of over sixty TV films and several best selling and highly praised books.
Our General Manager Jigme Lama had guided him during the filming of BBC’s award winning documentary, In Search of Myths and Heroes in 2004

Jigme is one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. He was born in a wildly remote Himalayan village unchanged for a thousand years, and yet now he is internationally conversant-- in five languages, no less. His physical strength and strength of character amplify each other: compassion and tolerance derive from self-confidence. My widely translated books are about seeking truth at the edges of common experience. Jigme is a companion to those realms; I'd trust him with my childrens' lives. But just as important on any trek, I trust him to reveal the mysteries and marvels in both the landscapes and human-scapes that he intimately knows, and which are requisite for any conscious traveler to explore.

Having Jigme Lama as a guide and translator for our documentary film project and trek through Humla, Nepal was invaluable.  Jigme's warm personality and knowledge of the culture, languages, and proper protocols for meeting the villagers, healers, and spiritual leaders of the region, helped to make our journey more meaningful.  He has also contributed as a translator and guiding voice in the post-production process of our film-in-progress, Healing Planet (see www.healingplanetproject.org).

I have worked with Jigme Lama trekking in Nepal/Tibet and while producing films in the Himalayas. Without any hesitation, I can recommend Jigme Lama as one of the top professional guides and trek operators in Nepal and Tibet.

Certainly, as far as I'm concerned I reckon being in the Limi valley and Guge Kingdom was a very special experience for all of us. I would be happy to recommend you as a very capable guide. For us in Humla your presence and experience was invaluable.

Jigme guided me for two weeks into the villages nestled in the mountain ranges bordering Nepal and Tibet in western Nepal. He is a trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to ensure that I had a wonderful, memorable and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the cultures of Nepal and Tibet.
