Hi, I’m Raj.
I’m a hiking & trekking guide based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Namaste!
I come from the Ruby Valley, a remote rural area just Northwest of Kathmandu. After completing my studies, I became a hiking guide with the help of my family. I started as a porter, got to know many Himalayan trails, and finally became a certified guide in 2017.
The mountains are my passion, and I love seeing the awe and joy in the eyes of the people I guide. I take great care to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment along the way—no matter how easy or hard the trail is.
Take a look at all the hikes & treks I can guide!
