Meet Raj Rai

Elite Trekking Specialist, Two-Time GHT Leader and peak climber

Raj Rai is an absolute powerhouse in the world of Himalayan adventure. With several years of elite guiding experience, he has accomplished what few others on earth have: leading and successfully finishing the grueling Higher Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) two separate times.

From navigating Nepal’s most remote wilderness tracks to successfully summits of several high-altitude peaks, Raj knows the terrain of the Himalayas intimately. Yet, despite his elite mountaineering resume, Raj is most celebrated by clients for his warm, polite, and deeply customer-oriented approach. He is an exceptional communicator who takes the time to listen, explain, and ensure that every trekker feels safe and supported at every turn.

To top it all off, Raj is a master high-altitude cook. He understands that good food is the ultimate fuel and morale booster in the wilderness, and he prides himself on preparing delicious, hygienic, and comforting meals even in the most extreme conditions. When you trek with Raj, you are not just getting a guide—you are getting an elite mountaineer, a polite companion, and a top-tier camp chef all in one.
