====== Sivakumar Patel ======

{{ :sivakumar-patel.jpg?direct&300|}}Universally known as 'Siva' this young man was recommended to the investigators by [[Henrietta Tullis|Mrs Tullis]] as a reliable guide to aid them during their stay in [[Bombay]]. In fact Siva was to prove willing, and able to accompany the party throughout their stay in his country and beyond. He acted as a translator throughout the trek across [[Nepal]], and despite initially backing out of the final leg of the journey later turned up at [[Te]] where he was able to look after the badly injured Nepalese guide while the others went on to [[Drakmar]].

Extremely eager to please, with excellent attention to detail and perfect English, Siva proves to be an unsurpassable guide, more than justifying his above-average rates.
